cross the
world, infrastructure is key to economic
growth, no wonder vision 2030 is no
child’s play. However , desperate we are to transform Kenyan Economy to a
middle class Economy by 2015/2030 ultimatums, the zeal poses forlorn hopes if
we don’t pay dire attention to the transport sector, construction of roads, and
other paraphernalia. we have the Chinese
around constructing the Nairobi Thika
super highway one of the biggest projects the government has ever funded since independence. Though the construction
of the highway is in its last foot, it stands to all reasons that it has
already brought about myriads of business opportunities. That said, I
appreciate what our leaders in the government are doing to make our roads
passable. Since the rural electrification program and Economic stimulus
program, Development is no longer focused on urban centers alone.

Rather,
there have been notable developments eminent in the rural areas as well.
Something
raises my eyebrows glowingly though, why are some of our legislators, ignorant of these wonderful
opportunities, Are they not keen to debate for consideration of certain
dilapidated roads in our county.
I can bet
for my life, residents of Kirinyaga
County deserve better than what is already at stake, but I don’t understand why
these leaders seem to have fallen short of voters expectations.
As much
as we may want to blame the town council for poor roads, a times I feel that at
the end of the day it all boils down to the person in charge, who in this case
is the Member of Parliament.
And that
is when I think; the buck stops with my Member of Parliament. I hope they are
reading.
