    "content": "Hon. Gichumu, with respect to Gichugu, we would like to maintain it. We are seeking to ensure that the contractors make the roads motorable. Traditionally, the contractors should provide a road for users during construction. They cannot construct roads leaving heaps of soil then abandon works because of non-payment and leave the roads unmotorable. It is an agenda. I gave the example of Kinango-Kwale where we made the road using murram. This is so that as they work on the tarmacking albeit the challenge of pending bills and payments, road users cannot face any challenges. Hon. John Mutunga, I confirm that we are going to address the various challenges of the road programmes in the country. We have built a good data base that can help us work together with the House to ensure that we have a very amicable way of allocating funds to ongoing projects and roads across the country with some level of equity. Thank you, Hon. Ruweida and Members for congratulating me. I want to confirm that we will work closely together. Mtangawanda Road to Kizingitini will be tendered next week."
