    "content": "highway to the hospital. Children cannot go to school because the road does not even have a foot path. It takes motorists a lot of trouble to have to wait for the children to pass the road because it has no drainage and footpath. I happen to have travelled a lot. I have lived in Uganda and it is a mess. The Government did not foresee the boda boda population soaring as it is now and the same problem is in Nigeria. We need to implement this and have service lanes. We need lanes for riders and cyclists. The Netherlands has more riders than Nairobi or Kampala, but the traffic moves because they have the service lanes for all the users. I support the Motion. As Hon. Wakhungu has said, we have a problem in implementation. As we are building those roads, we must also look at the time lines. We have one road here in industrial area where we all work and do business - Likoni Road. It has taken us almost over seven years to just put up the bridge. They have done the walls but not the bridge. So, you find that, as Hon. Melly is preparing the Bill, we must also come up with timelines as to when this must be done. When a contract is given, how long must it take? It is like taking 30 years and there is already money that has been used for this and we have never benefitted from it. So, I support the Motion. We need it for the new and old roads in Nairobi and also in the villages. We need a Bill that will be specific to KeRRA and all the other roads. Thank you so much."
