Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2) (c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the urgent need for expansion of the Busia–Kisumu Road and the Bungoma–Malaba Road to dual carriageways. Hon. Speaker, the Busia–Kisumu Road and the Bungoma–Malaba Road are vital transport networks in Western Kenya, linking key commercial towns and serving as transit routes for goods and services through the Busia and Malaba border points to and from the neighbouring countries, including Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. Notably, those major roads facilitate regional trade, contribute to local economies and are integral in sustaining Kenya’s position as a transport hub within the Northern Corridor. Hon. Speaker"
