    "content": "Question No.61 to the Cabinet Secretary, Roads and Transport is in five parts. (1) Is the Ministry currently undertaking real-time mapping of all roads, bridges and other transport infrastructure affected by the April-May, 2024 unprecedented rains and floods, and if so, could the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport provide a list of all affected transport infrastructure across the country? (2) What flood mitigation measures are required to bring each affected infrastructure to a state where it can withstand the rains and floods, especially in Lamu, currently being witnessed in the country, and what are the budgetary implications of such improvement? (3) Could the Cabinet Secretary outline the obligations of the national Government vis-à-vis those of the county governments regarding the reconstruction of each transport infrastructure affected by floods? (4) What long-term measures are being implemented to address the poor drainage system throughout the major cities and towns, bearing in mind Narok, ensuring that such occurrences do not repeat in the future, and what are the budgetary implications of these actions? (5) What steps are being taken to compensate victims of vast transport infrastructure engineering that resulted in changes in the path and course of various rivers, hence the flooding of some houses, homes, and human settlements that naturally were not in the path of those rivers, taking into account Nairobi River? Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
