Hon. Speaker, Sir, I was contributing to this Motion on road network and I was opposing it. I agree with the Mover that road network is important because it actually opens up unconnected regions to trade and investments. It is also important because our economic growth depends on the proper establishment of our road network. However, I beg to oppose this Motion because of the terms: “A minimum of 20 kilometres and a maximum of 30 kilometres per constituency.” Some constituencies will The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

be disadvantaged by this. We know there are counties that have well developed road networks, but we have other counties with constituencies without even a single kilometre of tarmac road. For instance we cannot compare Kiambu or Nairobi with Busia where we have no single tarmac road in Teso South. As much as we want to see our entire district headquarters connected, I would want to move from Amukura to Amagoro to Budalangi to Nambale and Busia. Stating that we have a maximum of 30 kilometres would be a disadvantage to some of our counties. We need to develop our ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker Sir for protecting me. We need proper road networks and their maintenance. Each county’s needs must be identified on an individual basis. Priority should be given to counties with less or no road network. I oppose this Motion unless it is actually amended. I propose for an amended so that we remove the term stating that we have a maximum of 30 kilometres.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to commend the Mover of the Motion, Hon. Kinyanjui. I agree with him that there is need for us to improve our road infrastructure network. As much as I agree with him that there is need for each constituency to have a certain percentage of tarmac road, I beg to differ in certain aspects. First and foremost, if we look at the cost of doing 20 kilometres of tarmac at an estimated cost of Kshs80 million per kilometre, multiplied by the number of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ...
