    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. My question is still on this same road. This section, St. Mary's, Kinoru is in Meru County. I am aware that the compensations have not been done. More importantly is the state of that road. In Meru County where I come from, we are losing a lot of resource in roads. St. Mary's, Kinoru road is a paved road but very dilapidated; there is no maintenance on that road. There are a lot of potholes and lack of drainage on that section. Therefore, we are losing another very important resource from Chogoria, which is traversing almost six constituencies. From Chogoria, it passes through Maara constituency, South Imenti, Central Imenti up to North Imenti. This is Chogoria-Marimba-Meru Town Road. Madam Temporary Speaker, that is the same problem but do not cut me short. This is very important and is right in my heart. I kindly request that as you look for resources, you may allocate some resources. I have canvassed this issue even with the Ministry, Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) and all these people. They are aware of that problem. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, to some of us, getting home is a problem because the county governments are not working for us. So, even on roads leading to our villages, even to my house, I declare that two weeks ago, I paid some people. I hired a grader to do my road, as the Senator for Meru. I used to do that when I was a Member of Parliament and people in the village are crying why a very senior Senator cannot do roads nowadays. I was forced to hire a grader to do that particular road to my house. This is on record because I have canvassed this issue in all the offices. They are aware of the problems we have in that county. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
