"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support Hon. Faith Gitau’s Motion on the Expansion of Major Roads to dual carriageways. The roads issue is a thorn in the flesh of many Kenyans. Those of us who have had the privilege of travelling across the world will agree with me that we are behind, in terms of the road network, as a country. Hon. Faith Gitau’s Motion brings to the attention of everybody the need for expanding major roads. If you have had the opportunity to travel along the Nairobi-Nakuru-Kericho route, you will agree with me that it is extremely busy over the weekends. Unlike the traditional holiday destinations like Mombasa, South and North Coast, other Kenyans opt to drive from Nairobi to Naivasha for staycations. This is because the area has become a common holiday destination, especially for those who are unable to raise enough money for the traditional destinations. There are also very good hotels in Nakuru and Naivasha areas these days. Unfortunately, there is a challenge. You drive from Nairobi to Westlands, but when you get to Limuru, there is a challenge of road network because of so many vehicles on the way. If there is something that we need to think of as a country, it is expanding such highways. The roads that go all the way to Malava and the others from Sotik to Kaplong resemble the ones constructed when the population was hardly two or three million people in this country. They are not roads that people should be talking about. Hon. Osero is looking at me because that is his home. He knows very well that there is a challenge at Sotik-Keroka-Kisii route that goes all the way to Sirare. It is a really big The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
