"content": "us in a big way, more so, the Jubilee administration. Their agenda is to build 10,000 kilometers of road both tarmac and well surfaced murram. They are looking at putting this money into good use. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, one observation I want to raise on this Bill is the aspect of coordination between KeNHA, KURA and KeRRA. I want to see this coordination in the Bill and how the different authorities are coordinating. The other issue is on the membership of the different boards. While they have clearly pointed out the suggested membership, we must have representation from the national security or the Ministry of Interior and the Kenya Private Sector Alliance. They will be representing transporters, the Matatu Owners Association who use roads in a big way. Finally, on membership, we really want to see the National Land Commission represented on the boards because the roads will be passing on land. When it comes to the acquisition of lands and the NLC is not involved, it is going to cause some issues. Clearly, there are two areas I would like to observe with regard to county roads. What we want to see in this Bill is periodic or timely upgrading of roads particularly classes C and D, so that counties clearly know what roads they are supposed to take care of. Finally, with regard to the term limit of the Director-General, the office has been given an open-ended term that he or she may serve for 10 years or even more. It is an important post that we must cap the term for an individual. With those remarks, I beg to support this Bill. Thank you."
