    "content": "National Highways Authority has indicated that the said project is divided into nine implementable lots, at different stages of design, tendering and construction. Hon. Speaker, currently, the said road is un-motorable and in a very deplorable state occasioning long travel hours, breakdown of vehicles and high maintenance costs. It is of great concern that this deplorable state of the road has negatively and adversely affected the economy of the region, including those transporting relief food and perishable commodities especially during the rainy seasons. It is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing on the following: (i) What is the status of the submission and award of tenders for the construction of Lot 1 and 2, that is Isiolo-Kula Mawe-Modogashe since the deadline for submission of the tenders was on 28th April, 2020? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary also state the firms that were awarded the construction of the various lots, indicating whether they are local or international firms and their capacity? (iii) How much money was allocated to each of the nine lots of the said road? (iv) What is the status of the construction of the Modogashe-Samatar-Wajir section of the road, which was to be funded under BADEA/PPP and Annuity Progamme, and state whether the World Bank - which has expressed interest in funding the road - was granted the request to fund that section of the road and, if so, was the funding proposal shared with the initial funder, that is, BADEA/PPP and Annuity Programme? (v) What is the status of the design of the remaining part of the road in the Wajir- Kutulo-Elwak-Mandera section? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
