    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank and congratulate Sen. Musila. Mine is to add a rider to this development. Those of us who had roads know that they have all been washed away. Many of you will be travelling to Mombasa and you will see this for yourselves. The road from the airport is congested and an overhaul of the infrastructure is long overdue. The city has grown but the road infrastructure has not grown. Therefore, that means that as we go into this new phase of development, we must continue to blacklist people who did substandard jobs for this country in terms of infrastructure development. Part of the reasons why some counties have to remain behind in terms of infrastructure development is because they contracted cowboy contractors, so to speak and their road networks are below standards. Therefore, that investment is lost and Kenyan people have to reinvest in that kind of a situation. If you go to countries like Dubai and others in the world, you will see that the reason why they prosper is because their road networks move. Their transportation system is first class. They use railways, roads, waterways and I think it is time that this country puts in place credible and integral systems that spread equity in terms of infrastructure development of this country. I am here to support this Motion but add a rider to the fact that we must ensure that the quality of roads built stand the test of time."
