    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of my constituencies has suffered historical injustices regarding the road network. This is Tharaka Constituency. My county has three constituencies; Maara, Chuka-Igambang'ombe, and Tharaka. Tharaka Constituency has, for an extended period, suffered some historical injustices in terms of road network. I do not understand the logic behind contractors who build roads in my neighboring county and when it reaches the border to Tharaka Constituency the road ends. An example of such a road originates from Meru County to some part of Tharaka Constituency in a place called Miaponi. There is another bitumen standard road which originates from Maua up to Atithini. When it reaches Tharaka Nithi, the road does not continue. The only road in Tharaka Constituency is from Gatunga to Chiakariga, which has stalled. This road was launched in 2014, and up to now, it is not motorable. The Cabinet Secretary should tell this House why Tharaka Constituency has suffered historical injustices regarding the road network for the last 60 years. What plans does the Ministry have to ensure that the roads that end at the border of Tharaka constituency extend to areas that need the bitumen standards? The Miamponi road is supposed to connect Mukothima to Gachongo to Ngondi, Marimant, and Tharaka University. The road that is supposed to come from Katilinge to Kachiongo, Mukothima and join the other road to Tharaka University. What measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure that Tharaka Constituency enjoys the best road network like any other constituency in this country?"
