    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, any road that you mention in that part of the world is either potholed or completely dilapidated. Whenever one small new one is built, like the one from Kipsigat to Serem--- What the engineers now do is to put up bumps and rubble strips - six of them in a row. That makes it impossible to travel by that road. So, if you are not travelling on potholes, you are travelling on bumps or rubble strips. Could the Government or the Ministry review the location and number of those unnecessary bumps? They actually cause accidents. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the construction of Road A104 which is going on now, the diversions around Gilgil and Timbora are impassable. I know that contractors are required to provide motorable or reasonable diversions. Those diversions are not in those particular cases. I also want to say something about the designing of roads. We know that, in the past, there have been occasions where a road has been awarded to a contractor without proper designs. That amounts to giving a blank cheque to a contractor. So, they continue costing the road as it is being built."
