"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a bit difficult to speak on that specific road. This is because, as the Cabinet Secretary has said, they are waiting for funds. Nonetheless, allow us to make connected supplementary questions. I want to inform the Cabinet Secretary that I have lamented on the Floor of this House and brought the cry of the people of Kajiado, specifically on the issue of raising a number of our roads to bitumen standards, particularly Isinya-Konza Road. This is because, as you said, it is connected to the Konza Technopolis, which is the city of the future. Therefore, Kajiado wants to get connected to that city. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to give the Cabinet Secretary the scenario in Kajiado. On Mombasa Road right from Namanga Junction as you go towards Machakos Junction, at Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), there is a road that has been raised to bitumen standards going to Kinanie on the Machakos side. However, on the Kajiado side, there is nothing. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, before you reach Machakos Junction, there is another road towards Mua Hills, going to Hon. Sonko’s home and other environs. However, on the Kajiado side, there is no road, while on the Ukambani side, there is a tarmac that has been raised recently. Of course, at Machakos Junction, there is a road going to Machakos headquarters and town, but there is no road on the Kajiado side. After the Machakos Junction, before you reach Konza Junction, there is a new road although I do not know what it is called. Sen. Kavindu Muthama can tell us. It has been done to bitumen standard, towards Ukambani side. In the same breadth, on the Kajiado side, there is nothing. At Konza Junction, there is a road going towards Machakos Junction; the one we want you to connect to Kajiado. However, on the Kajiado side, there is nothing. Additionally, when you reach Salama, there is a tarmacked road going to Wote, but on the Kajiado side, there is nothing. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, Kajiado voted for this Government of William Samoei Ruto. It is the only one that can rescue the people of Kajiado, so that we are also considered as Kenyans. I want the Cabinet Secretary to get our picture because it is painful. This also applies to electricity, which is only on the Ukambani side. On the Kajiado side, maybe they think we want electricity for cows, but we need it for human"
