    "content": "awarded to a contractor, it takes another one year. By the time the construction will be starting, it will be three years. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this procurement process, particularly with regard to roads, should be reviewed. We do not require all the procurement processes to repair a road. It should be done without further ado. There should be a fund reserved for repairs particularly during emergency times. Whenever a bridge is broken, we do not have to wait for one year for a procurement process to take effect. We should have ready money for repairs. We have cases where it takes up to a year to erect bumps. Is it difficult to reserve money for road repairs? Marking of the road is another important aspect of the road construction. After the road is constructed, it is should be marked to show the edges of the road. When they are not marked and the road is black, the motorists will veer off the road and cause accidents. The issue of people vandalising road signs should also be addressed, so that motorists can be guided when they are approaching a curve or areas populated with animals. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, lastly, some developed countries have restricted construction of houses along the roads. There should be few houses constructed along the roads. There should also be points where the drivers can rest. That way, we will not have drivers who sleep while driving. Such drivers cause accidents because of driving for many hours without resting. Kirinyaga County is enjoying good road construction works. I thank the Ministry for the tarmacking of Kianjege-Gatwe Road. The other road being tarmacked starts from Sagana all the way to Karatina. The other one is from Kutus all the way to Kianyaga, Kithure up to Embu. I thank the Government for that, and I hope that they will continue with the others. I support."
