    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the status of the Mau Mau Road. The residents of Kigumo Constituency in Murang’a County have raised concerns over the delay in the completion of the said road. The 540-kilometre road traverses Murang'a, Nyandarua, Kiambu and Nyeri counties and was commissioned to improve transportation, enhance connectivity, promote economic development and ease access to various areas for residents and businesses. Despite significant investment by the Government, the project appears to have stalled. Notably, the road has since become impassable due to the ongoing heavy rains, posing a serious threat to the safety and well-being of residents in the area. Hon. Speaker, the impassable road has severely impacted businesses in the area, with farmers facing challenges in transporting their produce to the markets, resulting in substantial losses for families dependent on these businesses for their livelihoods. Hon. Speaker"
