    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank Sen. Sakaja for coming up with this issue. First, just to correct, the authority concerned is the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and not the KeNHA. That is what is indicated in the question. For Members who are referring to KeNHA, that deals with the national highways. The major roads here in town other than Uhuru Highway are all under the KURA. That road was constructed at a cost of about Kshs26 billion which was a loan. The KURA itself gets 15 per cent of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) to do maintenance. They should have taken all that into account when they were doing the design. The construction, which is going on now must have proper safety features. It should have pedestrian walkways and proper crossings, so that there are no conflicts between pedestrians and motorists. They have to construct footbridges like in other areas. I do not know what happened to this particular road, which they acknowledged passes through one of the busiest parts of this City. In fact, they acknowledged that almost 70 per cent of the population of Nairobi, which is about 2.2 million, is on that side. Therefore, they know very well that, that it is a populated area."
