    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Leader of the Majority Party for the opportunity. First and foremost, I congratulate the Committee. You have done a wonderful job of collapsing several statutes into one roads Bill creating standards of roads in this country. This will help local and international contractors to do standard jobs in this country, establish standard bridges and even road shoulders, and ensure that we monitor how the roads are done before payments are made. Previously, we used an inspection unit at the Ministry of Public Works, which was not effective. Secondly, the Bill also gives clarity between the work done by the county governments and the national Government, especially county governments that manage areas that are in urban centres. Governors have been taking advantage of roads done by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority and claim that they are the ones responsible for the good works. This Bill has clarified the difference between a road done by KURA and the county government. Thirdly, the Bill also gives a clear indication on which road should be done by KeNHA and KNSRA. The KNSRA is a new introduction in this Bill, and it will deal with Road Classes C and D. This will help constituency-based roads that link one county to the other"
