    "content": "On construction of roads, we see potholes developing on a road by the time a contractor leaves site. We need actual supervision of these contractors. In Kenya, it seems everybody is a contractor. If you ask them whether they have an engineer, they will tell you that they do not. That is why these roads are in bad shape despite spending a lot of money. We need serious supervision by the people concerned. The standards should be met. If a tarmac road is supposed to be six inches in thickness, it should be six and not two inches. I hope these things will be followed. On the question of townships, municipalities and cities, all our trunk roads pass through major towns. That is why we see jams all over this country. It is high time bypasses were constructed in all major towns to minimise the traffic jams we see in those towns. Because I can see Hon. Angwenyi really wants to contribute and time is going, I want to echo the sentiments of the Member for Nakuru on the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). He said we should not disband KURA. If KURA goes, I can assure you the roads in these towns will be in a bad state. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
