    "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 upgrading of the road network in Saboti Constituency to bitumen standard. The road network of Saboti Constituency has been in a deplorable state for several years, posing significant challenges to the residents and impeding socio-economic development in the region. Specifically, Kitale-Kipsongi-Kinyoro Road (C626), Kambi Miwa- Kaptama Road (B13) and Babaton-Endebess Road (B123) measuring approximately 79 kilometres are in dire need of re-construction and upgrading to bitumen standard. These roads, which primarily serve as routes of transportation of goods and people, have deteriorated to a point that they are impassable during the rainy seasons thus hampering the movement of the residents. Sadly, the residents’ outcry for better roads has been in vain and there is urgent need to address the state of the mentioned roads. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. State when the Ministry of Roads and Transport intends to undertake construction works on Kitale-Kipsongi-Kinyoro Road (C626), Kambi Miwa- Kaptama Road (B13) and Babaton-Endebess Road (B123) in Saboti Constituency. 2. Provide details on the Budget allocation for construction of the roads in Financial Years 2023/2024 and 2024/2025, including the contract details for works on the named roads. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
