"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, you were not around, but my wife became the symbol of the great women of this country that their husbands must stand for and fight for when their offices are under siege. However, I want to speak on two things here. First, the boards of those organisations are now complete. You have a chairperson and members. You have an Act which designates very clearly who the Secretary shall be and who the Director-General of those institutions is. So, it is very clear since it is not left for adventure or speculation. The other thing I like about this Bill is the fact that we have recognised that, without assistance or development from those organisations, we can never ever have roads in our places which we represent. If all the roads were to be done in the rural areas; if all those classifications were about the rural areas, then all the cities and towns would not have anybody. My friend Hon. Sakaja has told me that I can wait when he becomes the governor of Nairobi so that he will disburse those things properly. However, as we are right now with the governor and the assembly that we have, we have seen that nothing happens if the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) do not do their jobs."
