    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I would like to support that Petition in light of the fact that the road sector, like the Hon. Member has observed, is a very important sector towards the economic growth and development of this nation. Roads provide accessibility, marketing of farm produce and even socialisation. In the recent past, there has been a lot of lamentation because of roads that have stalled or those taking longer than expected to be completed. Although the Petition by the Hon. Member is on Meru County, literally every county in this country can lament about roads. There are cases where tenders have been given, but the construction has been going on for years without completion. In my constituency, there are two roads whose construction has been going on for the last three years and God knows when they will be completed. I would like to join the Hon. Member in requesting that roads that have stalled should be investigated so that they can be completed. That is because the people on the ground are becoming anxious. There are even areas in Murang‟a County where demonstrations have been held due to such bad roads. I would like to join the Hon. Member in his sentiments and request for speedy investigations into those roads so that they can be completed. Thank you. I support."
