    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. I want to thank Sen. Musila for introducing this important Motion that touches on the development of this country. The road networks and the transport sector in general contribute immensely to socio-economic development of any area; whether you are talking about security, health or education. This is important. Equally important is equitable distribution of the transport network. I support the amendment to include the railway lines. When you look at the counties which were categorised as those in need of the equalisation resources, you will see one common denominator in all. This is the fact that they all lack good road networks. The solution to economic development in those areas is probably good road network. It is time that we considered good road network as a right because without it, we cannot talk about all the other rights that are enshrined in our Constitution. It has been mentioned here that policies, in the past, favoured areas which were considered to be high potential. However, let me say that as we discuss this important issue; let us not forget that the so-called high potential areas also have their problems. For instance, Maasai Mara is a high potential area in terms of wildlife."
