    "content": "When we talk about the national and county governments, we have a challenge because sometimes even the county governments do not do their work. That is why today I urge both the county and national governments, through the Kenya Roads Board, to give this attention because without good road networks and infrastructure, we cannot have any development. Even in times of crisis, when people do not have roads or they have not been maintained, they cannot get the services that they need. Proper attention and accountability needs to be given. The people in charge have not been good stewards yet we know that a lot of money has been going to this Board for the maintenance, building and development of roads. If we can all be accountable, now that we have very limited resources, Kenya can grow very fast. I support the amendment to reduce the members and that members who will be appointed or nominated should have the face of Kenya, including gender balance and incorporate our youth who are knowledgeable enough and have a lot of value to add to the Board. Thank you."
