"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute on this very important Speech by the President. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Presidential Speech was a presentation to this House which was able to highlight a lot of policies by the Government and what the President and his Government intends to do for the remaining term of his presidency. He is now serving the last part of his second term and seems to be very clear on his agenda which, of course, he wants the Members of Parliament to understand. On the issue of infrastructure, the President dwelt at length on the development we have achieved in this area. Although some areas have benefitted during his term in office, there are some, for example, in Eastern Province, which have not. A good example is the Kibwezi-Kitui-Ethiopia Road. The construction of this road has started in some parts, but work has been very slow. The section between Kibwezi and Kitui needs to be tarmacked. It is a major road which will decongest the traffic. All the vehicles from Kitui have to get to Nairobi before proceeding to Mombasa. The Government should channel resources towards the tarmacking of this road in order to benefit the people of this area. The people living in Kibwezi will also benefit as a result of the expansion of the towns along the road. We urge this Government to build this road, so that the people of this area benefit."
