"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transport and Housing regarding the dualling of the Makutano-Mwea-Embu-Chuka-Meru Road classified as a Class B6, covering a distance of 169 kilometers. This road, which traverses the counties of Kirinyaga, Embu, Tharaka Nithi and Meru serves as a critical transport corridor for the movement of goods and services between Meru and Nairobi. Enlarging this road capacity through dualling will unlock the high economic potential of these counties. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide a detailed report, including statistics on the number of vehicles utilizing this road daily from 2023 to date as a basis for assessing the need for its conversation to a dual carriage way. (2) Present data on traffic accident reported on this road from the year 2023 to date, including the number of fatalities and injuries. (3) State whether the Ministry of Roads and Transport has plans to upgrade the road into a dual carriageway and inform on the status of these plans. (4) Indicate the timeline for the commencement of the dualling works."
