We have more vehicles on our roads than we used to in the past. Every week we have new vehicles on the road. So, there is need for us to redesign the roads particularly in the urban areas. We need emergency lanes. Places like South B and Westlands, in case of an emergency, the ambulances struggle to get patients to hospitals. There is need for us to redesign our roads because funds are available. Along Uhuru Highway, there is a small provision for redesigning emergency lanes. If you go to most developed countries, you will see that. About three months ago, I had to come out of the vehicle with my bodyguard to clear the road for an ambulance which of course was carrying a patient because its sirens were on. The drivers of the cars in front did not care at all. There is also need for us to redesign roads for posterity. Secondly, for us to understand which road belongs to who, they should have sign posts. I am blamed for all the rot. For heaven’s sake, there are roads which were taken to the county government and up to now, I do not know which ones they are. When I attend a simple funeral, I am told, ‘ Mheshimiwa you have not done this road; it is impassable’. We should have sign posts showing which road belongs to KeRRA, KeNHA, KURA and KNSRA so that people can tell which road belongs to who. Otherwise, we are blamed unfairly. I am sure Members who are here can bear me witness; we are blamed for all the rot. If we had signposts showing which jurisdiction a road belongs to, that would be understandable. Lastly, in the last Parliament we sat in this House and talked about having 20 kilometers of tarmac road in constituencies that do not have them. What happened? I need an answer.
