    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to support the Motion as amended by saying that it would be good for Kenyans to see transformation happening at the same level in every county. One of the challenges that we are going to face is that we have not been able even to harmonize the blueprint, so that in every town you can see something similar. You will feel proud and part of Kenya. If we are not careful, every county will just decide to move on their own and implement what they feel is good. But it is important that when we are trying to transform the country, we ensure that when one moves from one county to another, there is some similarity in terms of growth and development. That way Kenyans will appreciate that, indeed, devolution came in to give them service and change their lives. Madam Temporary Speaker, as we talk about Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret and other cities, with all the trucks that pass through them, indeed, this is something that we need to really rethink. The challenge that Eldoret is going to face is the infrastructure of housing that has been done along the road. So, even when coming up with a design for a road, they will need to sit down as leaders and agree that whoever has taken a road reserve must be ready to surrender it back to the public, so that construction can start. Therefore, as we agree that we need to expand roads and construct new ones in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
