    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is raising a very reasonable question. Technology is changing from time to time. It is true that we cannot use similar technology everywhere because the texture of the soil differs from one area to another. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in some places like Coast Province, where bridges were swept away recently, we had to take steel mobile bridges and cement them on the ground. There are areas where you have very complicated soil. If it rains the water digs up to the foundation of the bridge. That requires a different technology. Therefore, we are applying various techniques and we are training more staff. The engineers who have been dealing with bridges are very few. We are now building capacity on bridge construction. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those who supervise the construction of roads are not specialised in the construction of bridges. That department is so small and we are now expanding it, in addition to applying new technology."
