    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to support the Vote of the Ministry of Roads and Public Works. It is a very important Ministry and we need to give it the necessary support. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, sometimes, we wonder whether things are moving in the right direction when we see constructions that stalled over 20 years ago. Those projects were started, but they were never completed. We have bridges which were half-way done. The steel works have been destroyed and vandalised by thugs. The Government has not come to save the situation and people have lost hope. I have in mind a road that I always speak about whenever there is a debate on roads in this House. That road was abandoned in 1987. From 1987, I am aware that very many new roads have been constructed. Very many roads have also been allocated funds. Some of those roads are in my neighbouring constituencies. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, one is left wondering what process Members of Parliament would follow to ensure that roads in some of those particular constituencies are constructed."
