(a) I am aware that a section of Changoi-Kimulot-Chebangang-Koiwa Road is not in good condition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since this is a key road within Bureti District, it is true that its current condition does not act as a catalyst for economic development of tea farmers in the area. (b) My Ministry has allocated Kshs500,000 for maintenance of the poor section of the road this Financial Year, 2008/2009. (c) My Ministry is very much willing to partner with the multinational tea companies in improving this road."}
