    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in 2004, I brought a Motion before this House. Its aim was to ensure that the road maintenance levy funds are used to carry out roads maintenance in every constituency. However, it has taken too long for the Government to bring a Bill before this House, so that we can implement it. This will enable hon. Members to construct and maintain roads in their constituencies using these funds. If we do not do this, our roads will never be maintained. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is so much traffic congestion in Nairobi, especially in the morning and evening hours. Why has the Government not sought for a way to ease this congestion? We need to expand our roads in order to decongest them. Motorists are spending a lot of money due to this congestion. We need to construct flyovers to reduce the traffic jams. We waste a lot of time on our roundabouts due to this traffic congestion. Who are we waiting for to make these changes? The Minister should come up with solutions to these problems. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support this Motion."
