"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I first congratulate the officers of the Ministry who have worked tediously for about two or three years with our Committee to have this law enacted. I urge the Minister to move with despatch to have the Presidential assent to the Bill so that it is effected. It does not have to take as long as The Sexual Offences Bill took to be effected. Secondly, I recently noticed that the Ministry was unable to get contractors who can take up jobs and provide infrastructure in the country. I hope the Ministry will move with despatch to source contractors from abroad like the Chinese or the Japanese, so long as we get the infrastructure quickly. Finally, I hope that the Ministry will develop a policy of tarmacking roads in areas which have very high rainfall in a year. Areas like Gusiiland, some parts of Western Province, most parts of Rift Valley Province and most parts of Central Province, so that instead of murraming those roads which are washed within two or three months, they should even put a single seal which can last five or six years. That will save money for road construction and maintenance."
