    "content": "Maintenance contracts are a new thing that I have seen in the last three years under the Jubilee administration. They have helped maintain those roads in a serviceable manner and save this country billions of shillings. In the past, roads could be constructed but they would go for 10 years without anyone ever mending a pothole. Today, we have seen a new culture where, after construction of roads, there is a maintenance contract ensuring that every time there is a pothole, it is taken care of. Even simple things like clearing the drainage are necessary because many of the roads get damaged because of water flooding on the roads. Therefore, we want to encourage the Ministry and the Committee overseeing that Ministry to make sure that there is a very smooth transition in terms of handover of assets between the different agencies."
