    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate Hon. Faith Gitau for this great Motion. I also want to say that this Motion is a product of Hon. Faith's understanding of the history, infrastructure, and dynamics of the Republic of Kenya. I do know our forefathers, the people who fought jealously for the independence of this sovereign State, aimed to create one mind-set and one country called Kenya. Over the years, different groups under the privileged leadership of this country have used their positions to entrench regionalism, tribalism, and biological nationalism instead of patriotism and nationalism. This idea is very good. I also want to take you back to the provisions of Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965, which you have ably referred to, which will continue to remain in my subconscious until we see a different mind-set from what we are seeing right now. I am glad that the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party has also alluded to this, the mind-set that appreciates Kenya in its entirety— the mind-set under the Broad-Based Government. This Paper, which was used from 1965 until the promulgation of the current Constitution, had three things in mind. Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965, titled African Socialism and its Application to Planning in Kenya, was a key Government policy that outlined the framework for Kenya's development with a focus on promoting African socialism and social justice. The Paper aimed to reduce poverty, ignorance and diseases. On the contrary, it entrenched poverty, tribalism, poverty and abuse of power in different parts of the Republic of Kenya. This Bill is coming at a great time under the current Constitution. Having appreciated my good friend, when she brings the Bill, I will move an amendment on it to read “expansion of all roads”, and “not all major roads.” Some of us do not have major roads. We are struggling to have a road."
