    "content": " I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary what the Ministry is doing regarding the contractor assigned to Danger-Chemuswa Road. It has not only stalled. There is no maintenance that has been done ahead of works. The road is not passable or motorable at all. The Uhuru Government launched it back in 2016 but it has not taken off up to now. The Chepterit–Chepkober-Kaiboi Road under KeNHA has also stalled. Apart from it being stalled, there was maintenance ahead of works on that road. The contractor decided to withdraw the machines midway and say he does not have enough money for that road. The Baraton–Samok-Amobo Road under the KURA is another concern. It is about eight kilometres. We agreed it would be allocated one kilometre every year. That road has also stalled for the last two years. Now there is no maintenance on the remaining impassable part of the road. Two bridges have caused fatal accidents. Recently, some people lost their lives on the Makonge-Baraton Bridge. It is currently very dangerous and impassable. I do not know what the ministry is doing about it. The Samoh-Kamurguywa Bridge is also among many other such bridges. Lastly, there is the Kaptel–Chomisia Road. The Government of Kenya allocated funds to it. We had asked for funds when the previous Cabinet Secretary was in office. That took time but funds were recently allocated although works have not started. The only problem was that the road took too long until Kipchabo Tea Estate intervened through a social responsibility"
