"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for according me the opportunity to respond to the Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee of Transport and Infrastructure. I am comfortable with the first paragraph; they moved at a good speed and came up with an estimate. They have given us an alternative route to use as they work on the bridge. Unfortunately, they are sending us to the Northern Bypass and the Thika Superhighway, which are too congested in the morning and in the evening. Hon. Speaker, my concern is that most schools are on the other side of the road or the bridge. And so, it would be very difficult for pupils and students to accommodate their day-to- day activities, noting that the Thika Superhighway and the Northern Bypass, including the Eastern Bypass, are clogged for more than three hours in the morning. I want to ask whether they can use the Emergency Fund to construct the bridge. The said bridge is the only conduit for the three wards, namely; Biashara, Gatongora and Gitothua. The three Wards have been cut off. I request that they use the Emergency Fund to facilitate us rather than frustrate us. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
