    "content": "I do not wish to engage the Chair but two people spoke before me. I request that we continue. I appreciate the Chairman of the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing for the commendable job they have done. The Chairman indicated that he was Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for four years. I wish to point out that he was a CEO, courtesy of former Vice- President Kalonzo Musyoka, the appointee having been a Member of the Orange Democratic Movement-Kenya (ODM-Kenya) elected in 2007. One of the things we need to put on the national highways being managed by KeNHA is to ensure that the highway from Mombasa all the way to Busia is a dual carriageway. There is no question about it. The importance of that road cannot be overemphasized. I do not even know why we should be talking about it here. The second thing is that we should build truck stops. As my friend indicated, people have to pull over in the bushes to relieve themselves. Let us build bus or truck stop as they are called in the United States of America. This is a huge place where you stop-over to gas up, rest, sleep and also relieve yourself. So, let us build some truck and bus stops, especially along Mombasa Road."
