    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill with some reservations, given that this is a Bill which is going to determine how roads in this country are going to be constructed. As per the Constitution, the provision was that all the roads should be classified so that it is known which ones will be managed by the national Government and which ones will be managed by county governments. From the experience we already have, there are so many authorities which have never been useful to the citizens. They have not been doing any good to this nation. If you look at the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), it has not been doing any good work. The county governments have been doing badly in almost all constituencies. I wish to state that the classification or re-classification of those roads should have been put into a very serious scrutiny. That way, we will not come up with a classification like the one we have, where certain roads are wrongly classified as “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, “F”, “G” and all that. I know the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing might not have been the originator of this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
