    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute and support the Motion before the House. I will start by congratulating Sen. Mositet for bringing the Motion to the House. I have seen that all Senators are supporting it. I would like to clarify that the work of the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) is to give guidance in the maintenance and construction of roads. So, do they have to carry out that mandate and yet there is a county government in place? This has given many challenges to our county governments because the citizens would ask why the county government is not even able to repair a pothole. This is because of the confusion that KeRRA has brought about. The other thing that I have seen them do is upgrading and introducing another class of roads just to make sure that the county government does not perform its role. I stand to support this Motion because it will bring equality and an opportunity for all the counties to benefit from the funds meant for construction of rural roads. As you can see, county governments had even budgeted for the construction of roads but they have been denied the opportunity to do so. If this Motion is passed and implemented, all the counties are going to get equal opportunities. With those few remarks, I support."
