    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I would like to note the great effort that has been put in by the relevant Committee under the very able leadership of the Chairman, Mheshimiwa Pkosing. I say this because I note that this Bill seeks - and quite to some level of success - to align the roads sector to the new Constitution. As such, it is able to take us from the many laws that previously existed. It also tries in its own way and wisdom to classify our roads in a way where we start bringing ourselves into the present and are also able to start forging forward into the future. I note that this Bill extensively deals with matters hardware. By matters hardware, I talk about establishment of authorities that will be dealing with the hard brick and mortar construction of roads in this country. However, I regrettably note that conspicuously absent is a consideration of matters software as we realise that in this country, we can build beautiful amazing highways, trunk roads and roads. If we do not consider how we teach our population to use these roads, we shall run into problems. That is why I seek for the Committee to note that they have to put pressure on these authorities that we will be establishing through this Bill, not limited to KeNHA, KNSRA and KURA to address those issues. I would like the Committee to note that issue number one is on software matters, namely, compliance which has become a massive problem. Examples abound of places where roads have been built but users have found it extremely difficult to comply with road rules. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, currently, in my constituency, I am dealing with an issue regarding Kabiria Road that was done recently.
