Tandaza, the Member of Parliament for Matuga, on 8th August 2024 on compensation of residents who were affected by the construction of the Dongo-Kundu Bypass Road. Hon. Tandaza had requested for the following: 1. A comprehensive report on the number of persons whose land was acquired for construction of the bypass, the number of persons already compensated, and the status of the compensation of the remaining beneficiaries. 2. Reasons for the delay and the timelines for remittance of compensation to the remaining beneficiaries noting that the road is already in use. The Committee received a written response from the Ministry of Roads, Transport and Public Works on 8th September 2024, which I now wish to make. Regarding the number of persons whose land was acquired for construction of the bypass, the number already compensated, and the status of compensation of the remaining beneficiaries, the Ministry submitted that the project is located in three counties, that is, Kilifi, Mombasa, Kwale, and the implementation is in phases or packages as follows: 1.
