"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the state of the Kapenguria-Lodwar Road. Hon. Speaker, the ongoing heavy rains have caused damage to many roads across the country. The Kapenguria-Lodwar Road, for instance, has been rendered impassable, particularly around the Lous area. This has severely affected residents within the area by disrupting crucial transportation links and hindering the flow of goods and services within the area. Additionally, this disruption has resulted in closure of trade and commerce centres within the area, negatively affecting the economy of the region. With the road being rendered impassable, the residents are unable to access essential services such as health care and education, which are fundamental rights of every citizen as enshrined in the Constitution. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. What immediate measures is the Ministry of Roads and Transport putting in place to rehabilitate the Kapenguria-Lodwar Road? 2. What long-term measures is the Ministry taking to ensure the safety of the residents during the heavy rains? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation regarding the status of the Kenya Digital Economy Acceleration Project. Hon. Speaker, to become a middle-income country by 2030, the country needs to incorporate the development of digital technologies within the Government as this plays a catalytic role in enhancing productivity and prompt service delivery by both the public and private sector. The Kenya Digital Economy Acceleration Project was introduced to help make Kenya's growth more equitable by shrinking disparities in digital skills and connectivity and expanding the digital marketplace. The World Bank disbursed a total of US$390 million in the year 2023 to the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Authority for the implementation of the project through various components like extending the reach of backbone networks, increasing last-mile connectivity for education, developing the critical enablers for e-Government services and supporting digital literacy, among others. However, there remains a divide in access to broadband, digital public services and the skills needed for individuals and businesses to thrive in a digital society, especially in the rural areas."
