    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, the second Petition is on non-completion of Mukurueini-Gakonya Road, Road No.D429/E559 and the Rutune-Mahuaini Road Phase II. The residents of Kiharu, that is from Gathuri Ward, draw the attention of the House to the following:- That there is a 12-kilometre road traversing Gathuri Ward passing through the following shopping centres namely Gakonya, Kimathi, Kigatuini and Mahuaini. The road is yet to be tarmacked from Kimathi to Rutune and is, therefore, impassable during the rainy seasons. This road was initially commenced from Nyeri County. The Nyeri County part was tarmacked but it was abandoned upon reaching Murang’a County. The said road was abandoned without explanation and the relevant Ministries have failed to give an undertaking on when the road will be tarmacked. This matter has not been addressed by the relevant authorities. There is no matter in respect of the same issue pending before any court of law, constitutional or legal body. The residents, therefore, pray that the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing obtain further without delay, an undertaking from the Cabinet Secretaries in charge of the National Treasury and Roads and Infrastructure that the tarmacking of the road will be prioritized and funds will be allocated in the national Budget of the 2014/2015 Financial Year. Thank you."
