The statement relates to roads earmarked for upgrading to bitumen standards during the 2013/2014 Financial Year. In the statement, I would like the Chairperson of the Committee to state how many roads are earmarked for this upgrade throughout the country and to give a county by county breakdown. He should explain why the Machakos-Kangundo Road has not been tarmacked besides the processes of tendering and tarmacking having been completed in 2006/2007 Financial Year and the contract having been awarded to H.Young Company. Lastly, he should state when the work will commence."}
