    "content": "Let me also thank the Chair of the session, Hon. Shebesh. She valiantly stood her ground. That is what we need. It was not an easy session. Discussing roads in this country is very emotive, but Hon. Shebesh steered the session very well. On my own behalf and that of the great people of Rarieda, I want to thank you. Let me also thank the Committee. When this Bill was drafted, the Committee left out a very major component of our roads - that is the urban roads. Without that amendment, we would have had major conflicts with the county governments and the national Government. The Committee has done good work. Clause 47 of the Bill is on damage to roads. There are Kenyans who are very careless. They drag improper loads like reinforcement steel which damage roads. They also erect illegal bumps on our roads, which damage the roads. I have already talked to the Director-Generals of the roads authorities. They must put this in the regulations, so that people who deliberately damage our roads are punished."
