    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the sentiments expressed by the hon. Member. This particular section, that is the Kisumu-Kakamega Road, is part of an international trunk road linking northern Tanzania through Isebania, Kisii, Kisumu, Kakamega, all the way to Lodwar and the border between Kenya and Sudan. I am aware that plans were under way to rehabilitate this road but the nature of work envisaged at the time would not bring this road to the level required. I want to assure the hon. Member and all other interested parties that we have commissioned an engineering consulting firm who are working on that road right now to redesign it for major reconstruction. We expect this work to be completed towards the first half of next year, following which we will go to tender and I hope that once the tenders are concluded, we will be able to construct this road to the satisfaction of everybody."
