"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a similar question is still lingering in my mind. The Ministry of Roads and Infrastructure just conducts business as usual until we ask questions for them to attend to these roads. Do they not have a section that deals with inspections of these roads? This will enable them to assess increase of traffic, potholes and destroyed bridges so that they repair them immediately without Senators necessarily coming here to ask questions. This is our concern. We are not against anything. The Ministry of Roads and Infrastructure must be proactive. They should assess which sections of the roads in Kenya are congested, for instance, the one from Makutano to Wang’uru to Embu. Every other day, there is an accident just because the road is narrow due to the unexpected development. The development rate is higher than that of the road. Why can the road constructors not assess the development of the neighbourhood so that they can enlarge the road as per the population demands?"
