Hon member, yes,
there has been concerns raised around the development of the N2. However, there are conditions that have been given for the construction so that it can comply with the environmental requirements. What is also of importance that we definitely have to engage on is that the construction of the N2 goes beyond just a particular area where there has been resistance towards it. It is a note that connects that different parts of country, it opens up the agricultural sector, it gives opportunity in terms of land use and most importantly it also helps us to trade and promote tourism.
It is on those bases that when there is an objection and a concern there has to be consultation that is sufficient not withstanding that we must ensure that we put that national interest first such as the need for the road for the bigger good of the country including for the benefit of the community. And, therefore awareness and
