    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues for supporting this important Bill. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, their contributions will extremely help in passing this Bill during the Third Reading, especially the newly introduced issues, like what hon. Mungatana proposed that we have a hotline for reporting vandalism. That is very crucial. There is also the idea that hon. Odhiambo-Mabona introduced, that the service providers must be careful when they are doing installations, especially when digging trenches across the roads or near premises. In the developed world, there is a very severe punishment if a service provider digs a trench and leaves it open or does not bring the place back to its normal condition after the installation. So, I would like to encourage all our service providers to ensure that they are very careful. When they give out contracts, they must ensure that the contractors leave a deposit which can be used if they do not repair the road to the condition that it was before the installation. That money should be used to do the correct thing. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Dr. Otichilo also talked about road signs. Our road signs are stolen by scrap metal vandals leaving the roads very dangerous for motorists, especially if there are no signs near corners, the matatus or any motorist is really at risk. So, this is another important area that the police should take keen interest in. I want to thank hon. Ethuro very much for his contribution. I think it will be taken into account during the Third Reading. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to, again, thank all the contributors for the work well done. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move."
