    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to state that the project for upgrading to bitumen standards of Sagana-Kathaka-Thiguku/Mururi–Urumandi-Ngucui-Mahigaiini-Nyamindi- Kianugu-Kiumbu all the way to Kangaita roads has commenced. However, the project has registered a slower progress than anticipated arising from several challenges including financial constraints facing the contractor and adverse weather at some sections of the project. Given the factors mentioned above, the project has so far achieved approximately 10 per cent progress to date translating for five kilometers being completed to bitumen standards, which is one milestone. A second milestone is underway with works currently ongoing on site. To facilitate its completion, the Government has provided a budget line of Kshs240 million this financial year towards this project. To date, the project has been funded to the tune of Kshs140 million which was utilised to pay the bulk of the contractors outstanding dues and the contractor has since fully resumed operations and is on site. The contractual completion date for the construction phase of the project is 16th July, 2024. I thank you."
