    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Petition. I agree with Hon. Theuri that people from Embakasi where I used to be a councilor sometimes back, are really suffering. I have seen people knocked down by cars because of lack of foot bridges. Again, I wonder why and who award the contracts? If you happen to use Outer Ring Road around Taj Mall during the rainy season, it is impassable because of floods. One is left wondering where the engineers who designed the road are from. Even if they are Chinese, their counterparts from Kenya should give them good designs, so that people can access their homes. The last time we had heavy rains, nobody could access that road. Cars were destroyed and spoilt in the floods. Yet, these were roads designed by Kenyans who know the topography of the area. Also, when contractors are awarded the road contracts, there is nothing they do concerning corporate social responsibility. They do not build primary schools or dispensaries. In as much as they enjoy our money, they must be urged to build schools, dispensaries and foot paths. If you visit the developed countries, along the road side, you will find dispensaries, telephone booths, emergency centres and toilets. Our contractors build roads and leave funny materials on the road side yet they are paid in advance. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
