    "content": "Finally, on the Sultan Hamud Road, I am reliably informed that this is also one of those roads that have waited for far too long to get the support of the Government. Let me inform Hon. Kimilu that all the letters from Members of Parliament are marked to the relevant office of the Principal Secretary and we put all the requests on a dashboard to make sure we track and implement. The only problem is that I get about 200 to 300 letters. Sometimes, a Member of Parliament writes a letter and writes a reminder. Maybe the mistake on our side is not replying back to the Members of Parliament. However, every single letter that comes from an Hon. Member, whether from this House, the Senate or other leaders in the country, are documented. It informs the prioritisation of the roads. Regarding Sultan Hamud, we are now assessing it for purposes of restoration because of this El Nino situation. As you know, El Nino is affecting North Eastern, Coast, Upper and Lower Eastern Kenya. The initial assessment of all those places is that we need about Ksh15 billion to restore the roads. That is why we got Ksh1 billion from the Contingency Fund that was used to ensure we connect counties like the Habaswein-Kutulo Road to Mandera. I was in Garissa the other day."
