    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the construction started on 4th September, 2007. I agree with the hon. Member that it has taken slightly longer, but the contractors are not to blame. We have faced various challenges and the main one is the issue of insecurity in the area. The contractor has generally faced insecurity problems. Secondly, there is a problem of water scarcity. Thirdly, there was the problem of lack of materials or unavailability of quarries. I appeal to Members of Parliament to assist us procure quarries for our roads and refrain the councils from imposing rates on them. That impedes the construction of our roads. For example, we have suspended construction of Namanga-Athi River Road because the council askaris went and stopped the contractor from using a quarry in Kajiado. That delays completion of the road and costs the Government money in form of penalties."
