    "content": "stages and car parks, provide proper maintenance of council roads and drainage systems to foster smooth flow of traffic, introduce flyovers and additional traffic lights on junctions and roundabouts. For long-term measures, we intend to introduce dual-carriageways on some of the roads where the road reserve allows, for example, Mbaraki, Archbishop Makarios Road, Mwakirunge Road, Machakos Road and Mijikenda Road. We also intend to establish a fixed link crossing to 1754 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 10, 2008 Kilindini Harbour from the western terminus of Moi Avenue to Gombeni on the South Mainland. For Nakuru Municipality, again, the Ministry of Roads is currently finalizing the dualling of the main Nairobi Highway, A104, to ease traffic flow. We intend to segregate local and through traffic by encouraging the use of alternative roads such as Oginga Odinga Avenue. We intend to finalize the planned bitumenization of the eastern end of Maragoli Avenue commencing from the junction with Nyahururu Road to the end of the bitumen section of Menengai Drive. Lastly, the council has planned the rehabilitation of the missing links within built-up areas to reduce travel time and ease traffic flow on congested streets. Lastly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for Eldoret Municipality, the congestion there is mainly attributed to the major road which passes through the town. So, in conjunction with the Ministry of Roads, there are plans to construct bypasses and a ring road to guard against congestion in town. The council is also restructuring seats along matatu and bus routes. That, coupled with reinforcement, will ensure smooth flow of traffic. Lastly, the council is also rehabilitating roads using funds from the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
