    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill that touches most of us from the counties we come from. I thank the Chairman of this Committee for the good work he has done. There is need to recognise the two levels of Government – the national Government and the 47 county governments. The Constitution of 2010 equally recognises that there shall be national roads and county roads. Therefore, the only roads authority to serve the interest of the nation is the KeNHA. The national Government should not purport to impose rules and other authorities. Moreover, KeRRA and KURA should channel budgetary allocations to counties and not hold those powerful positions to the disadvantage of the rest of the counties. The Government should make sure that all counties are given proper budgetary allocations for the roads to be constructed and not to favour certain counties. We want a transparent formula of sharing out roads development and maintenance budgets in which all counties will receive good share of the budget. This is will also greatly harness national cohesion as it will reduce the near-death competition that is in presidential elections in this country. I know once you touch there the warrior blood in Hon. Sankok rises but Hon. Sankok when it comes to national issues like this, we do not have the idea of Jubilee or what. It is a matter that is touching all of us in the whole country. I can see the warrior blood in him is also rising."
