    "content": " No, it was in the Questions. Allow me to answer, though the Senator did not speak to it. Although you did not mention it, it is in the written question. Let me answer as follows- The Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) has completed the design of the 55-kilometre Moiben Junction towards the Iten side. We will move towards Elgeyo Marakwet and Chepkoilel University College on the dualling, through Eldoret Town, the Airport, to Mlango Shopping Centre. We want to come towards Mosoriot Teachers' Training College. That is the place where the dualling should start. The designs have been completed. We are looking for funding. This will help in decongesting the town and get movement of people from Mosoriot Teachers Training College, Mlango, all the way to Moiben Junction. We will go towards the Iten side and on the other side and move towards Chepkoilel University College. With respect to Mlango-Kapsabet-Chavakali Road, we do not yet have any designs. However, we have designed the first one and we are finalising the funding. On the reclassification of Eldoret-Kapsabet-Chavakali and Kapsabet- Chemelil Road section, it was done in 2020 from Class C to Class B. We are currently revalidating, given the recent court ruling, which declared the classification of roads unconstitutional and against Section 6 of the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) Act on the sharing of Road Maintainance Levy (RML). We are working on that. That has been done and upgraded from C to B. With respect to the design of the 55-kilometre road, I have talked to that. Let me not repeat. I have said we are coming to the Teachers College all the way to Moiben and go towards the University and Iten. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
