    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, my final Statement is on the construction on Korongo Road in Karen, Nairobi County. 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 of Korongo Road in Karen. Korongo Road, which spans about 1.1 kilometre remains incomplete despite ongoing construction efforts. Although stones have been laid, the road, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), remains unfinished, raising concern among residents on accessibility and infrastructure development in the area. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the commencement date for the construction works on Korongo Road in Karen and provide an update on its completion status, including challenges encountered, reason for the delays, and whether the construction is classified as an emergency repair project under the Framework Contract for Emergency Roads Repair Management. (2) Outline plans by the State Department of Roads for upgrading the road to bitumen standards, specifying whether the project has been advertised for repair, if a tender has been awarded, and provide details of the contractor undertaking the works. (3) Provide the total cost of the project, including a breakdown of projected expenses and sources of funding allocated for its completion. (4) State the completion timeline for the project, ensuring transparency in project scheduling and accountability for any delays. I thank you."
