"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you move from Kisumu to Kakamega and then to Webuye, you will see that the road is disintegrating, yet nothing is being done about it. The road is disintegrating at a very alarming rate, particularly from Kisumu to Kiboswa. There is almost no road there, yet there is nothing being done to arrest the situation. We will continue crying and pleading with the Minister so that his officers can do something about that. Where we had roads, June 13, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1805 we now have holes. They cannot even be referred to as potholes. They are craters. While driving there, you will try to dodge one but you still find yourself hitting another crater. This is a matter that we must address. I want to congratulate the Minister for bringing this Bill. I believe that if it is enacted, it will be a good law. I want to plead with the Minister to, perhaps, carry out a re-orientation exercise with the engineers that he deals with. We were once told here, when this Government took over power in early 2003, that it would blackmail all cowboy contractors and they would never be in the scene again. We were told that we would not see them any more."
