It now takes over 10 hours to go from Nairobi to Kisumu. Now there is a tendency to do spot patching. When it comes to specific areas like Nyanza, instead of using tarmac to repair tarmac, they use murram to repair tarmac. It is like repairing a piece of cloth with paper. It does not match and does not last. What will he do to ensure that this tendency stops because it is a waste of public money and to ensure that these roads are repaired adequately like those in other parts of the country?"}
