    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I support the amendments proposed by the Leader of the Majority Party. This is a call to action for Members of Parliament because we are considering amendments that were sneaked in at the tail-end of the term of the 12th Parliament. This is a call for all of us to be awake, especially towards the tail-end of a term, so that we do not pass amendments that we again have to cure in the subsequent Parliament. Roads remains a very critical docket. The success of all the four factors of production, namely, land, entrepreneurship, capital and labour depends on their mobility, which is enhanced through our roads. If you want people to move from one place to another for work, or businesses to move their raw materials or finished goods to the market, or our children to go to school, roads are a critical docket. Therefore, we should take a keen interest in the people in those positions because roads are a backbone of the economy. Roads are one of the aspects that marginalise parts of this country. Many areas are completely inaccessible. Some constituencies and counties do not even have an inch of tarmac. With regard to marginalisation and the Equalisation Fund, we must finally, faithfully, and fully deliver on roads to ensure that everyone in the Republic of Kenya has equal and transparent access to basic services."
