    "content": " Hon. Senators, you will allow me to dispose of this amendment, so that we can proceed with the Motion. We will then proceed with the Motion in the amended form or otherwise. According to Standing Order No.69, this is a matter that affects counties. So, we will need to vote per county. I, therefore, wish to put the question on the Motion, with the amendments, as follows:- THAT, noting with concern the skewed infrastructural development in Kenya, particularly in the road sector; aware that without suitable roads and railroads to connect all counties the nation cannot meaningfully achieve the development goals envisaged in our Vision 2030; noting further that in his Presidential Speech on the occasion of the state opening of Parliament on 16th April 2013, His Excellency the President promised the nation to “improve local roads so that our people can move freely across our nation;” the Senate resolves that the National Government takes immediate steps to correct the skewed roads and railroads development in Kenya and requires the Department of Transport and Infrastructure to submit to the Senate through the Senate Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation, an annual report of roads and railroads development programmes covering all counties in Kenya, beginning July 2013 and projections for subsequent years. Hon. Senators, I now call for a Division. Ring the Division Bell."
