"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Murang'a-Gitugi Road was designed to bitumen standard in the early 1980s. A contract worth Kshs99,410,842 was awarded to Firoze Construction Company Ltd. on 4th April, 1988 for a period of 18 months but was abandoned on 19th August, 1991 after undertaking the earthworks and installation of the culverts. (b) I am also aware that after the contractor abandoned the road, my Ministry started re- tarmacking it but abandoned the project after only 3 kilometres out of a total length of 26.5 kilometres. The project was abandoned due to inadequate budgetary allocations by the Treasury. (c) The contractor was paid Kshs48,635,327.85. Since 1991, the road has been allocated Kshs22,833,000 for both maintenance and improvement. The road will benefit during the construction of Saint Mary-Nyakahura-Gitugi Road since 3 kilometres is covered by the project. My Ministry will allocate funds during the 2006/2007 Financial Year to complete construction of this important road in Murang'a district and Kshs10 million has also been earmarked for design of Murang'a-Gitugi Road in the 2006/2007 Financial Year."
