    "content": "Having said that, I do not want to get into politics because we are now in the business of this House. I am not very happy that Members are not here when we are now doing what brings us here. Everything we have handled since we came this afternoon were issues, but this is the business of the House. Even if it is for record, I need to say this thing that is being bandied about and we are being bullied that there is some development of 9,000 and 10,000 kilometres of road. If I put the Chairman to substantiate, I tell you that there will be no substantiation. This is because I have information, for example, that KeRRA was before the Committee the other day asking for Kshs4 billion to be able to finish the 5,000 kilometres which they confessed that they have not done and it is unlikely they are going to do. They asked for Kshs4 billion. They were before the Committee the other day. I am just narrating the information I have. So, when the Leader of the Majority Party stands to speak and says that there is 9,000 kilometres of roads, enough distance from Nairobi to London and back, Kenyans must see these things. Yes, it is possible, but where are those roads? We want to see them with our eyes. We do not want to perceive them in documents. We do not want to make politics out of them. We want to see them. I have said that I do not want to wade in the territory of politics because I will interrupt what I think are very concrete proposals that I have on this Bill. This is a very good Bill and we have struggled with this Bill, as you know."
