    "content": "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 state of Mombasa Road and the Nairobi Expressway. In the statement, the committee should- (1) Provide reasons for the lack of proper markings and adequate signage on several major roads and highways in Kenya, which has been linked to several reported accidents. (2) Explain why the contractor did not redraw the necessary road markings on Mombasa Road after carpeting the road. (3) Explain why the drainage system on the Nairobi Expressway failed during the heavy rains experienced in March, 2024, resulting in flooding of the expressway and subsequent overflow onto Mombasa Road. (4) Outline any steps taken by the Ministry of Roads and Transport to address the aforementioned road safety concerns, stating when all restoration works on Mombasa Road, including the redrawing of markings, are expected to be completed. (5) Evaluate the state of preparedness of the relevant Government agencies under the Ministry of Roads and Transport in responding to heavy rains and mitigate the risk of road flooding. Thank you."
