    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Vice Chairperson of the Committee for the elaborate and clear answer. I am grateful that in that answer, it has become clear that the proposed road from Kenol through Murang’a Town will end up in Sagana just like the other one was to end up in Sagana. The danger of playing politics over such a serious issue is that it also misleads people. The leadership of Kirinyaga County had made it appear like Murang’a County was taking a road from them which will then start in Murang’a Town and go all the way to Marua. It is now clear that, that road is designed to go through Murang’a Town because it is the capital of Murang’a County. We have a university there, a Level 5 Hospital and it is the headquarters of the County Commissioner and County Government. Therefore, it was important that the road goes through Murang’a Town. It is now clear that the road will end up at Sagana which is in Kirinyaga County and serves Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Embu and Meru counties. Therefore, this answer is important because it reduces tensions where some leaders would like to make it appear as if a road is being taken away from them to disadvantage them when, indeed, it goes through their county."
