    "content": "Through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), the Ministry is currently undertaking project preparation for the rehabilitation of the highway, which seeks to address the heightened concerns. In the meantime, the Authority continues to carry out maintenance of road sections in order to ensure that safety concerns are addressed for continuous flow of goods, services and traffic. Regarding the relief measures that the Government is putting in place to compensate families, KeNHA has carried out a detailed design of the road. It will be prudent to note that the procurement of works and rehabilitation of the highway, with financing support from the KfW German Development Bank, is at an advanced stage. We are awaiting for the clearance by the KfW Development Bank for the contract to commence. Additionally, regarding the compensation of the families of victims of road accidents, the Ministry does not have any information on the accidents that have been caused by the narrow state of the highway, but will undertake to follow up the matter. Lastly, concerning the long-term plans that are being implemented to rehabilitate and expand the highway, the Government is working to secure financing for the road sections between Leseru-Kitale-Morpus and Kortum. We submit. Thank you."
