    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Let me take this opportunity to thank the Chair of the Committee on Roads and Transportation for that wonderful report. I wish that after visiting those counties, more so Isiolo County, they would come up with recommendations that will solve the challenges we have on the ground. They should also make sure that the recommendations are implemented by the relevant departments of the Ministry. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a lot of problems in the counties, where you will see that the roads that are being constructed by the national Government are being claimed by the county government, simply because the signboards are not there. That has created a lot of confusion in the counties. I would, therefore, request the Chair of the Committee to advise the relevant departments of transport to put up signboards to indicate that this particular project is being carried out by the national Government and not the County government. Finally Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that this is the mandate of county governments, but most of the road works that are done by the county governments are substandard. This is simply because the county governments do not have qualified engineers who supervise these works. The Government continues using a lot of money in those counties in the name of road construction where, at the end of three months, that road work is nowhere to be seen. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Chair of the Committee should kindly take up those issues and see how they can help counties and also members of the public."
