    "content": "I am very grateful to Hon. Kamanda. I have looked at the First Schedule and seen the new classification of roads but just before this happened, I think somebody was trying to be mischievous in the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development; because there was a new classification just last year, whereby a certain road that belonged to KeNHA suddenly became KeRRA’s. Another road that was being done by KeRRA became a county road even before the current law was passed. This was an attempt to defeat the purpose of this Act. I believe this is something which should be re-looked at again so that classification of roads can be done afresh once we pass this Bill with amendments. You have heard the contributions of Hon. Otiende Amollo. They are very specific with regard to the law. I agree with him. What he did not say on record is that it is better for the Committee. Now that the Chair is here and I am sure this will go on HANSARD, the Committee needs to pick the good suggestions from Members. Amendments pass quickly when they originate from the Committee where they are re-negotiated and re-argued. So, contributions from Members become very useful when dealing with Bills."
