    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation, I wish to respond to the various questions raised by Sen. Ndiema, the Senator for Trans Nzoia County. His request is in six parts: (a) I wish to respond that a list of new roads designed and constructed by KURA since its inception in the Financial Year 2010/2011 is indicated in Appendix B, which I will table at the end of my answer. (b) Again, I want to respond that the list of roads which have been repaired by KURA is contained in Appendix B, which, again, I will table after my answer. (c) In construction of new roads, KURA conducts feasibility studies in various urban centres. From these studies, it is able to establish the status of the roads that require intervention. This is also guided by the traffic volumes, the capacity of the towns and areas that require to be decongested. Designs are then carried out on a priority basis and request for funding made to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, after which procurement for construction work is done based on the budget ceilings received from the Treasury. (d) KURA has repaired several roads within Kitale Municipality including rehabilitation with asphalt concrete overlay as per the brief attached in Appendix 3 which I will be tabling. (e) This Financial Year, 2015/2016, KURA has advertised for routine and periodic maintenance of road projects to be undertaken. Again, I attach Appendix 4 which indicates which roads these are. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
