    "content": "take us to court to block construction of certain national roads will stop. The Council of Governors took KeRRA and other agencies to court on the issue of annuity roads and the court suspended funding for KeRRA in some counties. This will be dealt with, so that the issue of misusing courts to delay development programmes will come to an end. Bomet is one such county where the governor is aggressively against the national Government and every time he is in court on the same issue. If it is not tarmac roads, it is university. It is unfortunate to have such kind of leadership in counties who are anti-development. I wish they could look at the interests of the people whom we represent. I wish somewhere in this Bill Members of Parliament have representation at the constituency level, so that even when we have these authorities, there are committees at the local level. These are the people who will understand the needs of the people on the ground and capture the roads that need to be prioritised, the ones that need to be improved and the specific stages of these roads. These are the kind of issues which we really need to address. Otherwise, with those few remarks, I support this Bill, but wish to have some amendments at the relevant stage."
