    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as this honourable House is well aware, my Ministry is barely two months old. Therefore, at this stage we have not even had our budget passed. It is coming this afternoon at Committee Stage. However, for purposes of the tenders that were advertised, that information has not been supplied to me. I know the House would like an opportunity to receive information on the tenders that were advertised earlier and what is going on. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the other streets, for example, the missing links, it is fair that the House knows that the Government, together with the City Council of Nairobi, is currently constructing missing links in various areas in Nairobi. Some of the missing links under construction include Kasarani to Baba Dogo Road. This link will help decongest part of Thika Road between Safari Park and Ruaraka. Motorists from Kasarani and beyond driving towards Mombasa Road can join Outering Road from Baba Dogo Road. At Ole Odume Road, the road joining Ngong Road and Argwings Kodhek, upon completion of the road, it will ease congestion on a section of Argwings Kodhek Road. This will reduce the distance covered by motorists from Ngong Road towards Lavington. We are also doing Ridgeways Road to Kigwa Road. We are also going to do the missing link from Enterprise Road to Mombasa Road. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in addition to the on-going construction of these missing links, the Government, with the assistance of the Japanese Government, will undertake construction of other missing links within Nairobi. These are, Westlands to Riverside Drive behind Consolata Church, Mandera Road to Oloitokitok Road, Olenguruoni Avenue and Ring Road, Kilimani from Lavington to Ngong Road. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to conclude this part of the answer by saying that the establishmentof my Ministry is in itself a recognition, if it be required, of the fact that the Government is treating congestion in not only Nairobi but its environs as a crisis."
