"content": "Through this Bill, county governments are being enjoined to make sure that they construct our roads. There has been a hue and cry that there is a lot of shoddy work happening in our counties. This Bill tries to cure that by providing, as part of the duties of county governments, the need to ensure that the quality of county road works is in accordance with national standards. We must have uniform standards so that we do not have road works of various standards simply because of devolution. Counties need to look at the standards. Also, there is the issue of traffic which is important. Almost every other major town in this country is experiencing serious traffic problems. In places which looked like small towns before, because of devolution, there are a lot of investments, visitors and hence traffic has become a nightmare. I was in Meru Town the other day and I spent one and a half hours to cross the town from one end to another. I am sure the same is the case in Eldoret. I suspect the same is the case in Kisii and Kisumu. Therefore, this is an area where counties need to help us so that we can improve on traffic management.
