    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is no doubt whatsoever that the Government appreciates that this is an important road that serves a large section of the population in that county. It facilitates the movement of people and goods in the area and it is, therefore, an important road for purposes of the economy of that county. Earlier, I said that on 22nd January, 2016, the Government through the CS responsible for infrastructure raised this road to a higher level from Class D to Class C so that it becomes a national Government road. The objective was so that more funds can be channeled to improve this road to higher standards and to ensure that the road is maintained using this high flow of resources so that it can serve the people of that area more effectively. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am confident as you can see that this was only done in January this year and we know that there is The Kenya Roads Bill (National Assembly Bill No.26 of 2015) which is under consideration by both Houses of Parliament. It is anticipated that when this is done, the concerns raised by the hon. Member will be fully addressed through higher allocation of resources for the maintenance of that road."
