    "content": "sustainable. Being a roads engineer of long and good standing, I just want to pick on what he said about Meru. I had an opportunity to visit a road in Meru that had been repaired, improved and upgraded using the probase technology. I had opportunity to speak to the governor at that time, Hon. Peter Munya. He told me that the cost of that road could not be beyond Kshs20 million per kilometer, irrespective of how big the road could be. Why are we paying upwards of Kshs80 million per kilometer to tarmac our roads, when there are technologies that are available and have been proven to be effective to do roads? Madam Temporary Speaker, as I speak, a lot of county governments are trying to upgrade and repair roads following the destruction by the rains. Yesterday, I received a memo from residents regarding a section of a road in Kitui County called Kwasiku to Kwa Mutisya. That road is being graveled, but there is so much dust that the people along the road are considering even moving elsewhere until a time that there will be rains. This is happening, yet there are technologies in this country that are available that can be used and employed by county governments, to make sure that the upgrading and the standardization of our roads is not a health hazard to the people who are supposed to benefit from those roads. With those few remarks, I support."
