    "content": "(d) Give reasons why host counties where the project traverse through are not represented in the Board of the LAPPSET Corridor Development Authority; (e) state the number of the nature of Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) activities being implemented by the Authority in Samburu County and explain why CSR activities such as the Presidential Scholarship Programme in Lamu County are not being replicated in other corridor counties hosting the project; (f) state plans, if any, to ensure Samburu County benefits from land leasing arrangements between the LAPPSET Corridor Development Authority and various investors including the Lokichar for Lamu crude oil export pipeline project. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in response to the request by Sen. (Dr) Lelegwe Ltumbesi, the Committee sought and received a response to the Statement from the CS Ministry of Roads, Transport and Public Works. At a sitting held on 27th April 2023, the Committee considered the response to the Statement. It observed that the response was unsatisfactory and resolved to seek supplementary information. The Committee also observed that there was an unequal distribution of project benefits along the LAPPSET Projects Corridor. It resolved to invite the CS for Roads, Transport and Public Works, to a meeting of the Committee during the Questions and Statements time to give an assurance of the implementation of the LAPPSET Project; also to ensure that benefits to be accrued from the projects are equitably distributed among the counties along the LAPPSET Project Corridor. The Committee will therefore pursue the supplementary issues raised in the Statement to their conclusion. Lastly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Statement by Sen. Ogolla regarding the death of bodaboda riders and their passengers by sugar cane trailers of a local sugar miller, Sukari Industry, in Ndhiwa Constituency. In the Statement, the Committee was requested to: (a) Explain why the Cane trailers belonging to a local miller in Ndhiwa Sukari Industry transport sugar cane at night when visibility is pure leading to frequent cases of accidents specifically involving bodaboda, their passengers and other pedestrians, noting that local access roads are very narrow and the trailer loads of cane are abnormally big; (b) state whether recent cases of accidents involving cane trailers of the said Company, bodaboda riders and other road users where approximately twenty people have lost their lives and dozens injured have been investigated and culprits brought to book; (c) cause the sugar miller to clear cane trailer breakdowns along the local roads promptly noting inordinate delays in clearing broken-down cane trailers from the roads continue to pose danger to road users; (d) explain whether the sugar miller has compensated the families of persons who have lost their lives or sustained injuries arising from the accident involving cane trailers and bodabodas, where investigations have found the millers culpable; and, (e) outline plans, if any, by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), as well as the County Government of Homa"
