    "content": "In 2018, Contract No.RWC 422 was awarded for the construction of the Keria- Kathwana Road to bitumen standard. That project covered a total distance of 32 kilometres, of which, 7 kilometres are located within Chuka/Igambang'ombe Constituency. However, in 2020, Kathwana Town, which is situated in Chuka/Igambang'ombe Constituency, was designated as a municipality and, subsequently, the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) took over the 7 kilometres section of the road. It was managed by Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) at the time. In the same year, following some consultations with the Director-General and Regional Manager of the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), the 7 kilometres Kirege-Forest- Mubukuro Road was selected and agreed upon as an alternative road to be undertaken by KeRRA, to replace the 7 kilometres section already taken up by KURA. The Kirege-Forest- Mubukuro Road was identified as a priority infrastructure initiative to enhance connectivity and benefit the constituents. Despite this agreement, the road is yet to be constructed. 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. Report on the status of the 7 kilometres Kirege-Forest-Mubukuro Road construction project, including any financial and administrative factors that have led to the delay in construction; and, 2. Plans that have been put in place by the Ministry to ensure the completion of construction of the said road and the specific date of completion of the project. Thank you."
