My attention was attracted to a number of things that are very important in the development of the respective areas we come from. I was excited when the President talked about improving and developing the infrastructure of this country, particularly roads because I come from a constituency which does not pride itself with having any tarmac road. Over the weekend, I had a chance of visiting Othaya, courtesy of an hon. Member. I just marvelled at the level of development in some parts of this country, where every road is tarmacked. I had a very smooth ride to Othaya. Therefore, I look forward to my President giving Kajiado East some tarmac road in the next five years. I will appreciate the tarmacking of the road from Sultan Hamud, through Mashuru to Kajiado, which is a distance of only 100 kilometres; the road from Isinya to Konza, which is less than 20 kilometres; and the road from Kitengela, through Ngurung’a to Rongai, which is also less than 30 kilometres. The people of Kajiado East will be very happy with this Government if that is done."}
