    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. It is true there has been Government policy to do improvement of roads, especially all weather roads in highly productive agricultural areas. It was a good policy, because we cannot take our produce to the market unless we have good roads in those areas. What I see in this Motion, and I think it is specifically calling for it; is a shift of focus from doing roads in the highly potential areas of this country to the so called marginalized areas where cattle rustling and other forms of insecurity are rampant. I would like to plead with the Senate that we should not do “either or”. It is important for us because we are also interested in development, to do all weather roads both in high potential areas and also in the marginalized areas. I do know that with the new discovery of oil, especially what was announced today; further discoveries of oil in Southern Turkana, a lot of infrastructure will move to that area. It is The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
