    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy 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 deterioration of the Marere Bridge in Kwale County. The Marere Bridge serves as the sole transportation link between Mombasa Town and Kinango Sub-county by facilitating the movement of essential goods and services. However, over the years, the bridge has experienced significant deterioration due to recurrent flooding and inadequate maintenance. The condition of the bridge poses significant risks to public safety and impedes the economic activities in the region. Farmers face challenges in transporting their produce to markets while emergency services are forced to use longer and less efficient routes. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. The current status of Marere Bridge, which is a critical infrastructure for residents in Kinango Sub-County; 2. The specific measures being put in place by the Government to reconstruct the Marere Bridge, including a detailed timeline of completion; and, 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."
