    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, let me also thank the current Chair who has managed to fine-tune the Bill from where I left it. I worked on this Bill for five years and it was about to be passed. I have seen that he has made some changes which are good for this country and this House. He is equal to the task and I wish him well in chairing this Committee. First, I want to thank the Jubilee Government. I also want to thank His Excellency the President because when he took over, he promised Kenyans that he would construct twice the number of roads that were constructed since Independence. From Independence to when the President took over, 14,000 kilometres of road had been tarmacked. He promised that during his time, he would construct twice the number of roads that other regimes had done. He was true to his words. I was the Chair and those Members who were in the 11th Parliament are aware including my friend here, my mayor. I will still be referring to you as “mayor” because I know the power of mayors then. Even my brother here will agree that there is no part of this country that was not touched. I agree that not all roads were done but I think the Jubilee Government touched every constituency."
