"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe on this situation. We were with him in another function where the Governor also spoke about it emotionally. The road from Maralal to Baragoi is 100 kilometres which is not easy to tarmac in such areas. However, it is scientifically proven that when the roads are paved, it improves security issues. That is the truth in the northern part of the country, particularly in Turkana. We have a plan to make sure that we improve this road of Maralal-Baragoi. We have a road from Churo Amaya through Tangulbei up to Laikipia where Senator John comes from. The road from Baringo to Turkana through Loruk to Lokichar. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as part of a way to deal with security problems in the country, I have told KeNHA to work on designs on all these key security roads that help us deal with banditry in Kerio Valley. Our hope is that because of the budgetary constraints, we want to work with some of our development partners whom I have mentioned to see if they can do what we are doing together in the North Eastern part of the country in the Kerio Valley region as one way of opening the road. In the interim, the leadership of the Senator, Hon. Letipila, the Governor among others have all approached me and said that, perhaps, we need a short-term measure in terms of maintenance of the road. I will be visiting the area this Friday. We will be going with Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe and other elected leaders in the place to see the status. We are working in the office to get emergency resources to make sure that we maintain that place. We will also be working with the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Hon. (Prof.) Kindiki, to see how security will be provided to the contractors, so that they quickly improve the road to make it a bit motorable and safe for people to drive a bit faster to evade bandits. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should not miss the fact that the real problem is banditry. The road network is one of the ways of dealing with effects of banditry and the Government is doing everything possible."

We are working together to see how my Ministry can contribute in combating this disease of banditry. I commiserate with my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe for the loss of his friend, a former Member of County Assembly (MCA). Pole to the people of Samburu and the Kerio Valley region at large. As the Government promised, we will deal with banditry with finality."

"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, it is about Tseikuru, Mutomo and Ithookwe airstrips. Those three airstrips are useful in cases of medical emergency evacuations. I heard the answer the Cabinet Secretary gave. Could he indicate whether there are any plans of at least doing earth fill, so that they can be used for emergency purposes while we await the major plan he has said on that particular one? Regarding Question No.14 that had been asked, I understand that this was a country to country dealing. Is it possible to have a Public Private Partnership (PPP) so that the residents from Kibwezi to Tseikuru can be compensated for the land which was taken away from them since the Constitution stipulates that people should be compensated before the works begin?"

As I said earlier, we should not have been in this situation if we had recast our budgetary approach. However, we are there because of how we manage our budgetary process. I promise you that should the resources herein announced earlier, which is about Kshs100 billion, be given to the road sector, I believe we will compensate those people who have stayed for long. For the Tseikuru Airstrip, I agree and I have consulted the Managing Director (MD) who is sitting next to me. We should do repairs to a good gravel standard for the time being as we work on these contractual issues that we are dealing with. I promise we will do that."
