"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. They have started constructing the road between Kisumu, Kakamega, Webuye and Kitale. We should move away from this arbitrary stuff. I will be requesting that we move an amendment Motion so that we reclassify the roads. We should ask ourselves which road deserves to be called a county road and which one is under the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA). The big dollar money will be going to the transnational highways that are being managed by the national Governments. We will be scrambling for little money as counties when the national Government has enough money to work on those roads. I am saying these things because it saddens me that you can move from Kisumu to Busia, using a road that connects Kenya to its biggest trading partner, Uganda, without driving on tarmac. Anytime the Government remembers to work on this road, all they do is recarpet it. I always ask myself; what is greater than the other; to take a great road to Thika or take a great road to Uganda where we will go to do business? I look at the Thika Superhighway and see it as a “big man” syndrome."
