Regarding the measures being taken by the Government, including affirmative action to address the disparities in road infrastructure development in the constituency, the Ministry submitted that planning of construction of roads is informed by several factors, including prevailing Government policies, the road Sector Investment Plan (RSIP) and continuous shareholder engagement. Within these frameworks are inbuilt mechanisms to prioritise areas that lack adequate infrastructure such as roads. In addition, the Government has operationalised affirmative action measures in the road sector, including the Equalisation Fund that is aimed at addressing disparities in road development. Further, the Ministry is committed to the active involvement of all stakeholders towards finding holistic solutions to historical disparities in provision of road infrastructure in different parts of the country. Regarding the long-term plan being implemented to rehabilitate and expand critical roads in Nyamira County, the Ministry submitted that, through KeRRA, it continues to maintain critical link roads in Nyamira County through provision of 10 per cent Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF). To this end, the Ministry has allocated a total of Ksh19 million for maintenance of critical link roads in Nyamira and10 per cent is RMLF. Lastly, under KeNHA, continuous maintenance of roads under performance-based contracting within, will ensure roads remain in good condition for extended periods and collaboration with the county governments with regards to roads that connect with KeNHA roads, for example, development of non-motorised transport within Nyamira town. Thank you, I submit."
