    "content": " Thank you. This 74.3-kilometre infrastructure project was initiated to improve road connectivity in North Horr Constituency. However, in October 2023, the construction works were discontinued, with the contractor reducing operations and finally relocating equipment to other construction sites within the country. North Horr Constituency is the largest constituency in Kenya and yet, it lacks a paved road infrastructure. The absence of tarmac roads continues to restrict mobility, particularly during rainy seasons, when existing roads become impassable for extended periods. This also impedes access to critical services including healthcare facilities, education and markets. Additionally, the delay in the construction affects the implementation timeline of multiple development initiatives in the region, including the KenGen Wind-power Project and the ga s area. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure addressing the following: 1. Report on the status of the Segel-Maikona Road construction project, including the financial and administrative factors that have led to the delay in construction. 2. Interventions by the Ministry to ensure the completion of that road infrastructure, including the revised project implementation schedule, with specified completion dates. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari): This request for statement is directed to the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. Hon. GK, are you as efficient as Hon. Kawaya? Do you have the response? Hon. George Kariuki (Ndia, UDA): I do not have the response right now. However, if I am given time, I will respond as soon as we get back. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari): After how long?"
