Speaker, Sir, I do hereby present a petition on behalf of 20 members from Kiharu Constituency. It is dated 16th May, 2013. The Petition seeks the following Prayer:- We want to obtain an undertaking from the Cabinet Secretaries in charge of the Ministries of Finance, Roads and Public Works that the Mbombo-Keria-Gatara Road, which traverses Mbiri, Mugoiri and Murarandia wards within Kiharu Constituency, will be paved in the next financial year. There is also Road D421 - Maragua River-Kagaa and Road D422 - Kagaa-Githambo. The other alternative Prayer is that this Parliament causes the paving of the said road to be provided for in the Government budget for the Financial Year 2013/2014 by way of appropriating funds. The grounds are as follows:- Kiharu Constituency is the biggest constituency in the entire Murang’a County. We have a 40-kilometre road which traverses the three wards that I have mentioned. That road has never been tarmacked. The region through which it traverses is the most densely populated within the entire Murang’a County. It is presently in a very poor condition. There is also a second dam that is about to be constructed in Murang’a. It is going to bring water to Nairobi. It is set to be established at the tail end of Murang’a region; that is, Gatanga. That multi-billion project is not going to be feasible if that road remains un- tarmacked. We have a road that is presently being paved. It is called Marimira-Kahuti"}
