"content": "Hon. Speaker, I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing regarding the transport network in Loriu in Turkana East Constituency. Presence of road network, bridges and linkages is the key infrastructural for realization of greater economic efficiency; it enables easy movement of people, goods and services. However, Loriu area, with a population of 12,000 people as per the 2009 Census Report, has not benefited from construction of roads and bridges in the past 50 years. Therefore, they cannot access markets, administrative and health amenities due to lack of bridges across River Kerio, which stretches over a distance of 245 kilometres, from Lokoria to Lake Turkana."
