    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation on the state of the Nairobi Western Bypass, with specific reference to non-compliance with construction plans for interchanges. In the Statement, the Committee should– (1) Explain why China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) omitted the construction of six interchanges along the Nairobi Western Bypass, yet they were approved in the initial plan at a cost of Kshs21.5 billion, and confirm whether public participation was conducted on the decision to omit the interchanges. (2) State whether there was any variation in the project and indicate the cost of variation, stating whether it was in compliance with the law. (3) Explain the role of the KeNHA in the non-compliance of the project, detailing any action taken against the persons responsible, considering that the KeNHA was the supervising agency of the project. (4) Outline any measures that the Ministry of Roads and Transportation put in place to mitigate against the dangers posed by the lack of interchanges at the Western bypass members of the public using the bypass since the route serves busy commercial centres and commercial vehicles. I thank you."
