GK Kariuki, I would like to respond to the request for a statement by Hon. Wanjiku Muhia. Hon. Temporary Speaker, on Thursday, 17th October 2024, the Member for Kipipiri, Hon. Wanjiku Muhia, requested for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding unmarked bumps along the Flyover- Njambini-Kipipiri-Ol Kalou-Nyahururu Road. In the request, Hon. Wanjiku Muhia sought to establish, among other things, plans to ensure that all bumps erected along the road are clearly marked and proper signage provided; what actions are being taken for the provision of proper signage and reflective markers along the road; and a report on the exact timeline for marking the bumps and placing signage along the said road. The Committee received a response from the Ministry of Roads and Transport, through the Clerk of the National Assembly, on 23rd October 2024, which I now wish to present. With regard to plans to ensure that all bumps erected along the road are clearly marked and proper signage provided, I wish to state that all bumps on the road section of Magumu to Njabini (Road B110) have already been marked and proper signage installed. Furthermore, the section from Njabini to Ol Kalou (Road B20) is currently under newly awarded maintenance contracts. The Ministry has already identified a number of illegal bumps along the road, and they will address the issue of unmarked bumps alongside the removal of the illegal ones by mid-November. The section between Ol Kalou and Nyahururu (A4) Road recently underwent surface dressing as part of the ongoing maintenance work scope for the road. The works have been completed and the contractor is now in the process of marking the road, including all the speed bumps. Regarding the actions being taken on provision of proper signage and reflective markers along the Flyover-Njabini-Kipipiri-Ol Kalou and Nyahururu Road, as indicated above, all signages on the road section on Magumu-Njabini (B110) Road have already been installed. The hybrid contract allows the contractor to maintain and replace any vandalized signages. Signages on the road section between Njabini and Ol Kalou (B20) Road, and Ol Kalou and Nyahururu (A4) Road are currently under installation and are expected to be completed by the end of November, 2024. Concerning the report on the exact timelines for the marking of bumps and placing signages along the said road, I submit that all the outstanding works will be completed by the end of November, 2024. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
