    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have witnessed where contractors are given work and once the work has started, the same people working for the contractor sell cement that is supposed to be used to do the roads. They sell it to the people for whom the road is being constructed for and, at the end the day, shoddy work is done. So, we should be careful especially with the engineers in Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA). They should be up to the task. They should be people of integrity and not people who are easily compromised with a few coins or shillings and compromise the contractor and very little work is done. I am saying this because I am ever at war with the KeRRA and KURA people. They collude with the contractors to do a shoddy job. The contractors are paid and then after three months, we start looking for additional money for the same contract. Let the Kenya Roads Board get powers to buy the bond, but it has to be carefully tailored so that the money can be spent prudently."
