    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the standards of the roads that are tarmacked in this country are wanting. You construct a tarmac road today, barely two or three years, it is washed away. You wonder what happens. Believe me, these are the most expensive roads in this region. One kilometre of tarmac road in this country costs between Kshs70 million to Kshs80 million, while in other parts of the world one kilometre of road costs Kshs40 million. If you convert that into US dollars, it will be about U$400,000. Our roads are very expensive but poorly done. Something must be amiss. Standards are not followed. Why are the standards not followed? The red flag is corruption. This country is surrounded by tenderpreneurs. There are people who are speculators or tenderpreneurs. They bribe their way into the KeNHA, KeRRA and all the big organisations. They end up getting the contracts but at the end of the day the road is not made to the standard required and within a short time the road is washed away and we have nothing."
