    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I have abandoned what I was about to do because of the goodwill of the Leader of the Majority Party. First of all, I support the Kenya Roads Board (Amendment) Bill. This is the right way to go as we follow the Mwongozo principle of management of our parastatals. There is need to have a very lean and qualified Board that will discharge its duties in a fair and transparent manner. Boards of parastatals shall stop being dumping grounds of politicians or entities which go there to look for money or other things. We need to professionalise them to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in their mandate. I am passionate about the Kenya Roads Board because it was the brainchild of the Member for Baringo North, Hon. (Eng) Andrew Kiptum, in 1997. His brain has revolutionised the roads sector. It is from his idea that we now have extended authorities from the Kenya Roads Board like KeRRA, KURA and KeNHA.
