    "content": "to maintain those roads. Today, they are not maintained. We wait until we get the machinery to do the roads. Otherwise, they are not done. The young men were getting jobs to maintain those roads. I urge the Minister to ensure that rural access roads are maintained by young men within those areas. It is the only way to guarantee that our roads are maintained. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, many people are using bicycles. I think it is important to reserve lanes on the roads for cyclists. The last one is on the standards of our roads. Those of us who have travelled abroad--- If you go to America and other places, the standards of the roads are very good. You hardly ever see any potholes. I think the contractors are not doing good jobs. It is important that the standards of our roads be maintained. Today, if you drive along Thika Road which was done just the other day, there are potholes. I do not know whether they are really potholes or craters. I am sure you have driven along that particular road. I think it is important that high standards be maintained. Every two years, we re-do the same roads. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
