    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will proceed to ask Question No. 061 to the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport. (a) 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 provide a list of all affected transport infrastructure across the country? (b) What flood mitigation measures are required to bring each affected infrastructure to a state where it can withstand the rains and floods currently being witnessed in the country, and what are the budgetary implications for such improvements? (c) 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 the floods? (d) What long-term measures are being implemented to address the poor drainage systems throughout major cities and towns, ensuring that such occurrences do not repeat in the future, and what are the budgetary implications of these actions? (e) What steps are being taken to compensate victims of past transport infrastructure engineering that resulted in the changes to the paths and courses of various rivers, Nairobi River in particular, hence the flooding of some homes and human settlements that naturally were not in the paths of those rivers?"
