    "content": "I would personally advocate for the three roads authorities to be retained so that we can give the functions that are commensurate with the ability of the counties to do that. Parliament and especially my former House, the National Assembly, would want to retain some money given to constituencies. When we look at the Bill in detail, the Committee on Roads and Transportation should see how best this can be addressed so that we come up with a better law. The authorities are managed by very competent engineers. The position of the Director-General of both the authorities are engineers. The law says that the Director- General of KeNHA should be an engineer with certain qualifications. I have no problem with that. For KURA and KeRRA the same applies. However, for the Public Roads Safety Board (PRSB), it does not matter whether you have a legal, financial or engineering expert. You can leave it open so that you get a competent person to lead the PRSB, but the rest must be people competent and have the right qualifications and expertise. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I urge the Committee on Roads and Transportation to expedite this so that the road sector can be managed and we have some order. I beg to support."
