    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to acknowledge that we have had few challenges on that particular road.The road classified as D416 and E518 has a total of 48.3 kilometres. Part of it was unclassified road - that is Rural Road 1. The contractor was Butt Sarajevo and General Company who was awarded the contract at the sum of Kshs1,169,000,000. The contract period was 24 months commencing on 4th August, 2006. It was to end on 5th August, 2008. An extension period of 39 days was awarded and the new date of completion was set as 30th September, 2008. Road signs have been purchased, but have not been fixed due to the challenges arising from the conflicts the contractor had with the water and sewerage company, which have since been resolved. I want to assure the hon. Member that the delays arising from the Murang’a Sewarage and Water Company were part of the reason why the work was not completed on time. But I am happy to inform the House that the misunderstandings have since been resolved and the contractor, through our consultant, will ensure that the works are carried out to the expected standards. Lastly, I also want to say that some cracks have developed on some sections of the road and remedial measures have already been given out. We hope that they will be completed in due course."
