    "content": "midnight. You can imagine what they go through simply because of the traffic jams. It is my wish and belief that such roads which connect the counties should also be considered, just like the Mover said. Madam Temporary Speaker, the roads in informal areas, like the Mukuru kwa Njenga and Mathare or even some urban areas which have really not been planned are quite narrow. Their width is about four to six metres. So, even if you were to call the police and they come by vehicles, it would be difficult for them to assist such areas. So, there is need to expand those roads and also erect street lights along them. I do believe that with green energy, we can still use even solar power to light those roads. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the Motion and suggest that we should not just look at it as if it is only meant to cater for the rural areas, north eastern or areas affected by cattle rustling. For sure, let us just look at it from the angle that it affects all counties of this nation. I do believe that in areas prone to cattle rustling you will hardly find a well constructed bridge. Sometimes you will find paths used to drive livestock which have huge valleys, which are quite difficult to cross. So, there is really need to construct good roads that will assist to maintain security. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are areas which flood when it rains. As a result, some areas are completely cut off from communication. In my county, there is an area called Pakase. When it rains there, people are supplied with food using helicopters for two months. It is a pity that we do not even have airstrips. So, we have major challenges in my county. This is a good Motion which will favour the dry areas and those areas where communication and security is a major problem. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion."
