    "content": "It is good for the Members to know that in the 11th and 12th Parliaments, we passed the Kenya Roads Bill. But when it went to mediation in the other House our colleagues, based on one clause, decided they must be part and parcel of the Constituency Roads Committee. We told them in the budget allocation Kshs8.9 billion was going to the county. So, because they are senators, they would be part of the committee. That brought the stalemate and we said fine, we are ready to live with the current law. This was a very important section for the stalling of the major roads We felt since the Bill had collapsed, the Chair and the Executive should bring this important bit of the Kenya Road Board (Amendment) Bill. It is good for the House to know this. I do not want to use harsh words but our neighbours are not good people. This is because the Kenya Roads Bill has a lot of good things and they disagreed on one clause that they want to have two members in the Constituency Roads Committee. That is the only matter that made this Bill to collapse."
