    "content": "This unfortunate incident is a result of the neglected state of the drainage tunnel at the Makupa Roundabout. Reports indicate that the constant clogging of the tunnel is caused by the erection of a drainage system on top of another system by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) during the construction of the road. It has become arduous to adequately deal with any blockages. With the current El Nino rains and the continued adverse weather conditions, there is an urgent need for the Government to take immediate action to address the drainage system at Makupa Roundabout and other affected areas. It is against this background that I request a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. What plans has the Kenya National Highways Authority put in place to assess the existing drainage infrastructure at Makupa Roundabout and rectify it? 2. What emergency preparedness protocols are in place to mitigate future disasters? 3. What plans are in place to adequately compensate the families of Mr Joseph Jillo, Mr. Alphonse Saidi and Mr Kadhengi Ngumbao, and those who sustained injuries in the incident?"
