    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Leader of the Majority Party to clarify something about Nyandarua because I have seen that he only mentioned Kipipiri. Hon. Wanyonyi has said that he worked with TARDA and he mentioned Aberdares. So, I would like to get a clarification from the Leader of the Majority Party. They should know that all the floods come to Nyandarua, which is my constituency. The floods have affected that area so badly that the roads have been washed away. The dams have been damaged and yet, the report is only talking about Kipipiri, which is downstream. The main place is in Kinangop and when I took the initiative to go and see the Permanent Secretary, the one we confirmed as Cabinet Secretary in charge of infrastructure, I got a surprising story that this House would like to hear. In three weeks time, he has budgeted for floods and management of roads at a cost of about Kshs13 billion. He has already requested the Treasury to give him that amount, but it has told him that it can only afford to give him Kshs167 million. He is now in a dilemma as to how he can utilize that amount. That was three weeks ago. He conducted a second evaluation and the estimated cost for damaged and washed away roads shot to Kshs20 billion. So, I am kindly requesting the Leader of the Majority Party, when he will be issuing the Statement tomorrow, to get those clarifications. What are they doing about the roads and schools that have been washed away not only in Garsen, but also in Nyandarua - particularly in Kinangop."
