    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing regarding the status of construction of the Enziu River Bridge in Mwingi Central. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide an explanation for the continued delays in the construction of Enziu River Bridge despite previous Government pledges to prioritise this project following the tragic events of 2021, where a school bus was swept away while crossing the swollen Enziu River. (2) State specific measures being implemented to ensure that the completion of Enziu River Bridge is expedited, stating a revised and realistic completion date. (3) Cause a visit to the Enziu River Bridge site to assess ongoing works, if any, and report on any observed shortcomings. (4) State the amount of funding allocated to this project from Financial Year 2021/2022 to date, disclosing improvements, if any, meant in the emergency response capacities of Kitui County following recent tragedies at Enziu River."
