    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill, which is the Kenya Roads Bill 2017. I support the enactment of the Bill. We had a lengthy presentation yesterday from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing on this Bill. A lot still needs to be looked into including the compensation that needs to be given to those who surrender their land for road construction. It takes a long time before the people affected by any road construction are compensated. In some cases, it takes almost a year. I propose that this Bill gives the limit of time within which the people affected should be compensated, not only on the acquisition of land for roads, but also on the quarry extracted from the land and those who provide it. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the quarries are left open for a long time and they become very dangerous to children in the villages particularly during the rainy seasons. If accidents are to be prevented, the quarries should be filled up immediately after their use and owners of the lands compensated."
