    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation, and Housing regarding the construction and upgrade of Lomut- Lokwamosing (B118) and Nginyang’-Lokori-Lokichar Road (A10) roads in Turkana County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these roads are vital for opening of Turkana County to the rest of Kenya and play a key role in facilitating access to market, health care, education, and other vital services for the Turkana people. Despite their importance, these roads are still hard roads in many sections and are often rendered impassable by heavy rains. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain delay in implementing the Nginyang’-Lokori-Lokichar Road (A10) and Lomut-Lokwamosing (B118) roads construction projects, whose designs were completed in 2013 and 2016, respectively. (2) Clarify whether the update of tender documents designed review of the environmental and social impact assessment and economic feasibility study reports for the project has been done, and if not, provide timeline within which this will be done. (3) Provide a timeline for the commencement and completion of the projects, outlining measures put in place to ensure timely implementation. (4) Outline any steps the Government is taking to address the potential adverse impacts of the projects as identified during the environmental and social impact assessment."
