    "content": "Even as I support this Bill, in Kenya, we have more bodies than we need. In the transport sector, the other day, we were debating a Bill on some authorities, that is, the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA), the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and we are now adding another body. As a country, we will have to relook at all these bodies because when we create many entities, most of the money actually evaporates within the recurrent expenditure of those authorities and institutions. We should borrow from countries that have done very well in the management of transport system, for example, Singapore. Singapore has only one body that deals with transport, the Land Transport Authority. It manages roads and railways. It does not have many bodies like we do here in Kenya. Progressively, we need to relook at that. When we have one harmonised body, we will be able to harmonise all the other transport issues."
