    "content": "The Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) is responsible for development, rehabilitation, management and maintenance of rural roads. Rehabilitation and maintenance of the roads ought to be conducted regularly in response to damages that occur. However, in Kirinyaga Central Constituency, several roads under the management of KeRRA have deteriorated over time, thus becoming unmotorable and in some cases, nearly impassable. Kirinyaga County is one of the most agricultural productive regions in the country as it produces coffee, rice, tea, maize and horticultural crops. The state of the roads restricts movement of produce and services, especially during the rainy season. That not only disrupts economic activities, but also limits access to critical services such as healthcare and education. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. Reports on the status of the following road projects in Kirinyaga Central: (a) Kiamuthambi-Gatuto Road; (b) Kagumo-Kangaita Road; (c) Kerugoya Prisons-Kimande Road; (d) Kerugoya Girls’-Kandakame Road; (e) Kibigo-Kiratina Road; (f) Mugetha-Gitumbi-Mugwandi Road; and, (g) Mutira-Kagumo-Kiamaina-Gathuthuma-Kianjagi Road. 2. Report on the status of the rehabilitation works of the following roads: (a) Gakoigo-Kiandieri-Kangaita Road; and, (b) Miringairi-Kiawakara Road. 3. The intervention by the Ministry to ensure the completion of those projects, including the specific completion date. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
