    "content": " I want the Hon. Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure to note that the road has not stalled on all parts because of payments. The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) passes through our constituency through a gazetted forest. They committed to rebuilding the area not built by the KeRRA. They thus went ahead to compensate the Kenya Forest Service. They have already done it. I would like the Chairman to provide the exact date on which that work will resume; the part that was not meant to be done by KeRRA. Hon. GK, your statement did not quote the exact day. Payment has been made. The contractor was waiting for the payment to be done, which has already been done by Kenya Railways for this specific road. Lastly, you have mentioned that KeRRA is ready to do the roads damaged by El Nino. Again, KeRRA was to provide an engineer to do the assessment. Because the road is under construction up to date, our ordinary engineer would not have gone on site. Why have you not provided the estimates of the work that was already assessed? Under the circumstances, one would then be sure that KeRRA will do these specific roads, especially at a time when we are on Ngong Forest. Parts of the roads are damaged. As it is, in the same manner that he has provided this statement, I would want the Chairman to give a date and commit to this House the exact day these assessments are going to materialise. They have already been done, but nothing is on the ground yet."
