    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose the second amendment, more so, on developing service lanes on rural roads. I think it is killing the spirit of this Motion. The spirit of this Motion is to assist emergencies in congested urban centres like Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret and Mombasa. How do you construct an emergency lane in a rural area, surely, where we have no traffic issues? This morning when I was coming to work, I saw an ambulance which was struggling so much to go through traffic. I have heard of cases where a number of patients have died on those roads just because the ambulances cannot move. Houses have been burnt down just because the fire brigade cannot reach on site on time. If you have the emergency lane on rural roads, I think rural roads are about constructing good roads in the rural areas. You cannot construct two emergency lanes on rural roads. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I oppose the second amendment. Thank you."
