    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me respond as follows. Regarding the promise for more road network, I like to say that within the country, there is capacity to fulfill what the President promised. There is adequate technical capacity in terms of equipment and contractors. That is available within the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is also the assurance that the funds will be made available. I am sure that even based on my experience, if there is capacity and adequate funding, I have no doubt in my mind that the various undertakings made will be fulfilled. Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding the question raised by my leader, the Senate Minority Leader, about a number of road projects in western Kenya which have stalled, the Committee which I represent, the Committee on Roads and Transportation, has actually discussed this matter with the Ministry, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) and all the relevant officers and we have requested for a report. In fact, this report has been made available to us. We were due to meet today to discuss this report, but unfortunately, because of the direction we got from the Chair, the meeting was postponed to another date. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a full report about all the stalled road projects and the action that is being taken to ensure resumption of works on those projects. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
