    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement raised by Sen. Cherargei. I would like to request the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transportation that while he is getting responses to the Statement raised by Sen. Cherargei, to include the road from Mai Mahiu to Narok. The contractor who has been given that road has decided to reduce the width of the road. When you are driving on that road, if you have a big truck, another truck is approaching and for some reason you lose control, you will end up causing a very bad accident. The contractor building that road has decided to reduce the road on the left side by five feet and on the right side by five feet. I would really request that the Chairperson takes that matter seriously. I actually called the Cabinet Secretary (CS) who assured me that he was going to look into that issue because this is a very serious crime. Corruption is finding its way in many ways. We used to hear of people who were given the contract to build the Thika Superhighway and the money which was spent in building that Thika Superhighway could have actually built two or three Thika Superhighways. Whatever is happening now by reducing the size is really not right."
