    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The Maili Saba-Nzoia Water Supply Road (E328) was improved under the Roads 2000 Programme, jointly funded by the Government of Kenya and the ADB. The project implementation under the programme makes use of labour-based method where applicable in order to create jobs for the youth. Since gravelling was done using manual labor, the resulting riding surface was not even. However, increased use of the road by vehicle traffic is expected to enhance compaction and improve the road surface. Nevertheless, our technical officers are monitoring the situation in order to make necessary intervention as the situation may demand. The Kiminini-Kinyoro Road (E281) underwent routine maintenance during the financial year 2007/2008 with funds from the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund. The works included bush clearing, grading and culvert cleaning and gravel patching. An additional sum of Kshs1.1 million has been availed through the District Roads Committee during this financial year for routine maintenance in order to ensure that the road remains motorable. The said works are expected to be executed within this month; June, 2009."
