    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me yet another opportunity to contribute to this very, very important Motion. Madam Temporary Speaker, the current Constitution recognizes that there are areas of this country which are really marginalized and, therefore, every effort must be made by the Government to ensure that this marginalization does not continue and that it should be corrected as soon as possible. Madam Temporary Speaker, the question of roads, which was brought by my best friend, hon. Musila, is coming at the right time when we have a Senate, which is supposed to protect the interest of the devolved government in every respect. The marginalization in terms of roads is real and nobody can really deny it. As I stand here, I remember in 2007, I wrote to His Excellency President Mwai Kibaki, about the state of roads in my constituency then, Ijara, particularly between Mombasa, Malindi, connecting us in Ijara. There is a road which is called Garsen-Ijara Road and it is only 68 kilometers. All I was asking for was just a murram road; not even a tarmac road; and also small bridges and drifts which are properly done so that it is passable in all weather. The then Head of Civil Service was told to take action about this road. I have a letter which he wrote to the Permanent Secretary, Roads – who is now the Minister in charge of Roads 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."
