    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have indicated that the area has been experiencing flooding long before the commencement of the Thika Road upgrading project. Therefore, when we sent our team that included qualified engineers, they were able to interview also the people who were there and the area engineer who is also the resident engineer. It was established that the farming, not in that particular area, but in the outlying areas, is the cause of the flooding. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my Ministry has undertaken to do the drainage along the road. Anything outside the road will be completely beyond the mandate of this Ministry. Mr. Imanyara: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that the Assistant Minister comes from the other part of the country and he hardly visits those sides. Those of us who travel on Thika Road towards our constituencies on a regular basis know that what Mr. Kabogo is talking about is the truth. Secondly, it is also a known fact that every contract for road construction has provisions specifically to cater for the kind of situation raised by Mr. Kabogo. Why has this construction company not been required to comply with the terms of the contract which require that they drain all water along the roads?"
