"content": "That habit--- Hon. Mutiso should sit down because I want to be seeing the Minister. I was just saying that a road should actually be fully designed and engineer's estimates given before it is awarded to a contractor. I know it may be happening now. From the way the Minister is looking at me, it may be happening now. But it was not happening in the past. It used to happen when I was there. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on stalled projects--- There were very many stalled projects. We were told by the Ministry that it will complete those stalled projects before starting new ones. I hope the Minister is aware that the road going through Miteitei Valley called Timboroa - Miteitei Road was abandoned. Only 18 kilometres remained and the bridges. You might not call them bridges because they are really culverts. So, I hope that will be taken care of under the Kenya Roads Board. Similarly, the Kesses-Lessos Road that links Moi University to Lessos, and Lessos- Arwot, that also links Moi University to Arwot--- Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a lot has been said about road maintenance. If you look at the number of roads that have been tarmacked or serviced in this country, it has not increased. It is still around 9,000 or close to 10,000 kilometres of State roads.
