    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to seek clarification regarding the matter that Sen. Wetangula has rightly emphaised on. That is the issue of when you want to complete the road such as the one Sen. Kiraitu has raised and we can see new ones being built. What is the position with regard to this? Yesterday, I read in the FinancialTimes about a road that is supposedly complete. This is the road from Murang’a, Sagana through to Marwa. The contract for this road was awarded in 2002. I drive on the road and I know for a fact that it is not complete. We have a bigger problem on these roads. Perhaps, the Chairperson could address those matters when they are addressing matters of policy. Currently, the contractors are going to court and are being awarded some money for interest on roads that have never been completed. I read that a contractor has been awarded Kshs322 million to be paid for a road which I drive on and supposedly completed, but I know is not complete. We have small Goldenberg scandals that are developing as far as the contracting business is concerned. If you put them in totality, even the Anglo Leasings that we talk about here every day will not match them. It is just a clarification I am seeking."
