    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other one is:- (b) What emergency measures have been put in place by the Ministry to repair and improve the roads to motorable conditions, especially during the rainy season, since some part of the road is cut off at Kiambuya and Magunga and between Magunga and Kigwa Market? I beg to answer as follows:- (a) The Minister has programmed to upgrade the Mbita-Sindo-Magunga Road, D210 to bitumen standards. Towards this end, feasibility studies and a detailed engineer design has been carried out on that road in readiness for upgrading to bitumen standards. The Kaguta-Nyambira Road which links D10 and C19 has not been designed due to funding limitations. The section of the road from Mbita to Sindo was tendered, but could not be awarded due to insufficient budgetary allocation to the Ministry. However, discussions are at an advanced stage and an MoU has been negotiated with the Government of China for funding of that road. Since the allocation budget is not sufficient to construct the whole road in one project, the project is expected to commence as soon as the funding agreement is approved by the Government of Kenya and China. (b) The Ministry has been maintaining those roads. In 2013/2014, the Ministry had given maintenance money to a tune of Kshs3 million for the two roads. On this 2014/2015 Financial Year, the Ministry has allocated Kshs10 million for the maintenance of the roads."
