Members from ASALs of Kenya, were talking of getting a road that takes them from the main road that cuts across their counties or constituencies to some trading centres or villages within their constituencies. I feel like we should have a guided tour across the country to see how different and undeveloped some parts of the country are. For instance, if you were to go to Samburu, you will not be talking of a road that takes you to a trading centre or village. In fact, there is no tarmacked road in Samburu. There is none! In fact, the road that links Samburu with the nearest country – which is Laikipia – the Maralal-Rumuruti Road, is not a road. It is a sequence of mud and water pools. It has a distance of 200 kilometres and it takes you nine hours to drive from Maralal to Rumuruti. I am hoping that with the Jubilee Government and the help of this House; with all of us being Kenyans and being fair to each other, we should start to say: “Instead of tarmacking a road from your village, please, let us start from tarmacking one road in Samburu, Mandera, Garissa and those other ASAL counties."
