"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the status of Emali- Ukia Road in Makueni County. The Emali-Ukia Road, which serves Kaiti, Makueni and Kibwezi constituencies, is a vital transport corridor that facilitates the movement of people and goods, particularly agricultural produce. It also provides access to essential services such as schools and health facilities. Unfortunately, the road has remained in a dilapidated state since Independence despite repeated commitment by successive governments to have it tarmacked. The unfulfilled promises have left residents in the three constituencies frustrated as they continue to face immense challenges in transport and economic activities. The residents of Makueni, Kibwezi and Kaiti are predominantly farmers and traders, relying on Emali-Ukia Road to transport their produce to markets and processing facilities. Makueni is well known for mango and orange production. Kibwezi produces watermelon and onions while Kaiti is known for dairy farming and banana production. The poor condition of Emali-Ukia Road, therefore, significantly hampers these economic activities, leading to post- harvest losses, increased transport costs and reduced market access. It is, therefore, necessary that the Government prioritises tarmacking and proper maintenance of this road to enhance economic prosperity and improve the livelihoods of the people in this region. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

A report on the current status of the Emali-Ukia Road including any maintenance or improvement works undertaken on the road and when they were undertaken. 2. Why the tarmacking of the said road, which is of significant economic importance, has been delayed for decades despite repeated Government commitments and specific plans by the Government to prioritise tarmacking of the road and to ensure its long usability, including budget allocation and timelines for upgrading the road."
