Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing regarding design flaws in the Western Bypass under construction in Kiambu County. The ongoing construction of the Western Bypass is set to cut through Kabete Constituency, passing through several centres. The said areas hold a population of over 95,000 people. In addition, the area hosts other public institutions and facilities, including educational institutions, health facilities, police stations, churches and children’s homes, among others. While the community in the area welcomes and appreciate the move by the national Government to construct the said bypass, which they observe presents immense economic benefits to the residents, they are concerned over the flaws in the design of the project as follows: (i) The bypass lacks adequate service lanes from Gitaru to Karura. (ii) The only exit solution for the residents of Kibiku, Kirangari, Gikuni and Nyathuna villages is at Kihara Centre, more than 1.5 kilometres away. (iii) There is no provision for drainage to address storm water in most areas, for instance, at Kanjeru and Rukubi areas. 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."
