    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there are about 786 kilometres of unclassified road network in Ol Kalou Constituency. This, in my calculation, amounts to about 57 per cent of the total network of roads in Ol Kalou and not 70 per cent as indicated by the hon. Member. (b) The Ministry of Roads is in the process of carrying out an inventory of all unclassified roads in the country in order to qualify and have them properly classified. Currently, the classified network will also be reclassified to meet current needs and challenges. We have already engaged the services of consultants. They are already undertaking this assignment. As I speak here, I am almost sure that they have now completed the exercise; only that they have not given us their report. Therefore, all unclassified roads in Ol Kalou and elsewhere in the country have now been classified for purposes of future planning. (c) The Ministry of Roads does not allocate specific equipment or vehicles to constituencies in the districts, but facilitates the District Roads Engineers through budget allocations for road maintenance each year to hire these services from the Chief Mechanical Engineer and the Transport Engineer in the Ministry of Roads. That is what happens. So, we do not have any specific maintenance equipment in any specific constituency. However, it is available in various centres within the country."
