    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member has asked about the promises that we made in Loima, where we had promised to avail a new Land Rover vehicle. I want to remind him that the City of Rome was not constructed in one day. So, we did follow up the matter, but funds were not available immediately. However, the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons will, shortly, be releasing 20 vehicles. I want to assure him that we will make sure that one of those vehicles goes to Turkana County. Secondly, he talked about the Kitale-Lodwar-Nadapal Road. This is part of what we call “the Great North Road”, which runs from Cape Town, South Africa, all the way to Cairo, Egypt. In Kenya, it runs from Isebania to Kisumu, Kitale, Lodwar and Nadapal, on the way to Juba. We are doing our best. It is true that we made the promise and I have just told him that we are now beyond the rhetoric. The project is already at the design stage. It has already been agreed with the World Bank in terms of funding. So, I can actually assure the hon. Member that the project is now in the process of implementation. We have moved from the stage of promises. We are now at the stage of implementation. However, we cannot begin to construct the road before it is properly designed to acceptable standards."
