    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Minister for bringing this Bill. However, the three authorities which have been created in this Bill, if not well-managed, will look like a white elephant. The Ministry does not lack the money or ability to maintain our roads, but it does not have trusted and committed people. That is the only problem which we have. So, I hope the Minister will implement this Bill with all amendments. However, I do not see the proposal that I made when I brought a Motion on roads; that the Members of Parliament will be responsible in ensuring that in their constituencies--- If there is any misuse of funds, those responsible should be taken to court and charged. So far, nobody has been charged and sentenced for misusing the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) money. The only people who have been charged are those who have been found guilty of stealing small things like chicken. Nobody is concerned about those who steal billions of shillings meant for road construction and maintenance. Why can we not charge them? We should give that responsibility to the people who deal with corruption ili wawekwe ndani! Mtu akiharibu anafaaawekwe ndani!"
