    "content": "With respect to the maintenance of the Eldoret-Chebarbar, Chebarbar- Kapsabet- Nandi Hills and Kapsabet-Chepsonoi and periodic maintenance contract for Chavakali- Chepsonoi roads, which was also in the question, that is ongoing. The works under those contracts are expected to commence shortly because they had to re-tender because there was a small challenge. The design of the 55-kilometre Moiben Junction-Eldoret Town Road- Airport-Mlango Shopping Road is complete. I do not know why I have repeated myself on that. We have stretched from Mosoriot all the way to what I had mentioned. The next is Question No.74. Let me quickly go to it. Again, because of time constraints, I will spend some time with Sen. Cherarkei outside because I understand that region well. We are doing some work there. (a) Just to remind ourselves, Rironi is where the current dualling ends and goes all the way to Nakuru, Eldoret all the way to Malaba. Let me answer in a structured way. The Ministry of Roads and Transport through the designated contracting and implementing authority, KeNHA, is preparing to launch a new procurement--- This answer was written a while ago. We are in the process of project development under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) process. We have a number of concession proponents and they are currently going through development phase. We expect to break ground before the end of August if all goes well for Rironi-Nakuru-Mausamit. We will dual Rironi-Maai Mahiu-Naivasha as a bypass. It is called A8 South. We will dual A8, which is Rironi-Naivasha-Nakuru, all the way to Mau Summit. We will also dual A8 South, which is Rironi-Maai Mahiu-Naivasha. This will help to remove the challenge of congestion on that road. As we speak, we do not have a contractor on site. They are currently being evaluated through the PPP process. They are at development phase. When you drive on that road today, you will find some people drilling the road to check the profile of the geotechnical work in terms of the structure of the soils. We have given them 10 days to finish that and give us the response. This will enable us to answer the second question on who are the contractors, if we were to award."
