    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before this financial year's Vote, the hon. Member for Tharaka was not happy that this road was not going to be constructed. He was, in fact, complaining that he has been neglected. However, it is now a different story. The hon. Member for Siakago is also a beneficiary. Before that, they would complain that nothing is being done about the roads in their respective constituencies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has taken about two years for the design consultants to finish the designs for this road. Now, that we have been able to allocate money for that road to be constructed, you will find some other hon. Members in whose areas we have initiated designs complaining that their roads are not being constructed. Designing and constructing roads is a slow process and it cannot be done overnight. I would like to ask the hon. Members to bear with us so that this time round we can do the work professionally. In the past, because of lack of professionalism, roads would be constructed without proper designs and would not last even for two years. So, we want to be given time to do proper designs and construction work."
