    "content": "Thank you very much Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I support this Vote. When the Minister was moving this Vote I listened very attentively. I must commend him for the way he moved the Vote. It was quite clear. However, that does not mean that everything is okay. It was an indication that the Minister understands what is going on. I was very happy to know the clarity of the Vote. The Minister referred to Vision 2030 in his speech. We have not seen this Vision. We have 2782 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 25, 2007 asked to be given this Vision. What does it say about roads and infrastructure in Kenya? We are yet to see it and yet it is being referred to by Ministers in this House and elsewhere. Mr. Temporary Deputy Sir, roads in Kenya have actually deteriorated quite substantively. The Minister may say that there is work going on. But let me inform him and this House that roads, particularly those in western parts of Kenya and Rift Valley Province, are in bad state. Something needs to be done on those roads urgently. The Minister may say that there are some contractors working here and there. But besides that, if you try to go by road to Eldoret, Kakamega, Kisumu and Kisii from Nairobi, you will go through hell. It now takes close to eight hours to go by road from Nairobi to Eldoret. It has become prohibitive in terms of cost and time. We cannot afford to travel by road to those areas."
