    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to give my comment on this Petition by my colleague, Hon. Gichimu. This is one of the roads that are dilapidated. There are so many roads in this country that the President and the Deputy President have been complaining about. The problem could be the capacity of the contractors who are given these works. I know that road from Kutus very well. It has stalled for many years. There was a time I visited that constituency during the 11th Parliament and the Member for that constituency was still complaining about that road. There are similar roads even in our constituencies. They have been given to contractors who are given the 10 per cent for mobilisation but then you cannot see the work on the ground. I want to notice the Nkubu- Kamurita-Kithirune Road in my constituency. It is still under the same situation. The contractor has finished more than eight months yet you cannot see anything on that road so far. So, this is an opportunity for the ministry to take stock of all those stalled projects because, for sure, wananchi are not getting value for their money. The contractors are out there dilly-dallying. Such contractors should just be stopped and those works given to other contractors. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
