    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. My Ministry spent Kshs90 million in February, 2008, accruing from the savings realised from the Meru-Lora Road to carry out repairs on the Nanyuki-Lewa Road. Regrettably, the improvement of the road’s condition has encouraged motorists to over- speed without due regard to the set speed limits. This has led to a drastic increase in the number of road accidents. It is unfortunate that members of the public took the law into their hands and cut off the road at Mia Moja with the aim of slowing down speeding motorists. However, the destroyed section is still motorable. Wananchi should be encouraged not to vent out their anger against reckless motorists on the roads, which we are rehabilitating at a great cost to the taxpayer. My Ministry has set aside Kshs11 million this financial year to ensure that that section is repaired. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
