    "content": "However, the 3.9 kilometres road is currently congested and it is used by motorists heading to and from Komarock, Kayole, Njiru and other satellite estates thereby causing massive traffic gridlocks. In addition, the Kangundo Road Fire Station and the new Wakulima Market, which will serve over 2000 traders are both located along the road, which is primarily one of the reasons that led the National Transport and Safety Authority to label Kangundo Road as one of the city’s top five high risk roads. Recently, expansion works on the road that commenced in 2019 have been below the expected standards and have done little to reduce road congestion thus necessitating comprehensive expansion commensurate to the road traffic. It is on account of these concerns that I seek for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing on: (i) How much money was spent on the recent expansion works on Kangundo Road? (ii) What are the specific designs of the dual carriageway, its projected cost and scheduled timelines for expansion and improvement? Thank you."
