    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker and thank you, Chairman for that Statement. The only true thing about that Statement is that there is no tarmacking of roads ongoing in West Mugirango Constituency. Sadly, West Mugirango Constituency is the Headquarters of Nyamira County and the entire Municipality of Nyamira County sits in West Mugirango Constituency. So, the people of West Mugirango cannot understand how then there can be no tarmac within the constituency that houses the county. More importantly, in answering, the Chairman, Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure has misled this House that all roads under KeNHA within Nyamira County are tarmacked. Road(B4) which the Committee Chair has cited runs from Kebirigo Market to Keroka is under KeNHA. However, there is a bridge that crosses River Gucha that has never been tarmacked. Remember, this tarmac was put more than 15 years ago when the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, Raila Amolo Odinga, was the Minister for Roads. That was the last time a tarmac road was seen in West Mugirango. So, through you, I want to request the Chairman to look at what happened with the money for the bridge. That road was constructed more than 15 years ago. The contractor was discharged from site and yet the bridge has not been done to date. What measures is the Chairman going to take to ensure that road is done?"
