    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the Motion raises two issues. One is on the network of roads in marginalized areas and, two, is on crime. There are also the inter-linkages between those two. If you want to colonize anybody, you must have a road to where he is. That is in the negative way. If you really want to colonize Africa, then you must build a railway line and do roads. They must be done even by hand so that you reach where those guys are. After that, you can now put in place some law and control him. If he refuses to be controlled then, of course, you can take certain action. If you want to rule a country like ours, then you must do roads. There is no other way in which you can bring people to obey the law if you cannot reach them. However, we are realizing this after 50 years. We thought we were doing roads to bring in our produce to the market, which, of course, was a good policy. But we should have also known that if Kenya is one territory and we have to have dominion over it, then you must reach every place of this country. It is unfortunate that now crime can happen and security forces cannot reach the site because, first, there is no road and, second, they fear. Now, what can we do? Because this is the problem that is bothering every county now; what do we do to do our roads? You do not even need to have tarmac roads, but you have to open them so that there can be some movement. Sometimes in the last Parliament, I think, the Government decided--- No, I do not think it was the last Parliament; it was the other one – I have been in so many of them."
