    "content": "I rise to support the Bill. The intentions of the Bill are very noble. The process of restructuring institutions to conform to the Constitution and realign with the mandate of development is a very good idea and I support it. It is one thing to have good institutions, but it is quite another to have those institutions deliver. Beyond institutions that will manage the road network, we have a whole set of decision-making networks that allocate resources to construct roads. In the current dispensation and over the last five years, this does not come out of a planning process like it used to be in old days. Back in the 1970s, roads were constructed clearly on the basis of plans that would relate to how to promote growth most rapidly. However, it is fairly difficult for planners to have a say and get resources allocated. You have to go to very high offices, which is not very easy for most Members. It is all well and good to have a beautiful institutional set up, but if it cannot recommend roads on the basis of need, it will not be useful at all."
