    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is very easy to try and be populist on an issue like this one. I must say that I am the Senator for Murang’a County and not another. Marua Road is very important road and it will be built. The fact that it will be built does not mean that other roads should not be built. Therefore, it is dishonest for the Senator for Kirinyaga to say that he is thinking about the greater good of a region, when they are misleading people that the road does not pass through Sagana – a border town between Murang’a and Kirinyaga counties – which it does. It is a question of demographics, population and road carnage. The fact that that road will be built should not imply that other roads should not be built. The Senator for Kirinyaga County should be the last person to mislead this nation that the road bypasses Sagana or that they are doing it for the greater good. We are talking about the same region when we talk about Sagana as a hub where the road will then detour towards Marua and onwards to Isiolo because this is the Great North Road. It is important that this should be made clear."
