In the Statement, the chairperson should address the following:- (1) Is the chairperson aware that the road from Kenol to Marua is a vital trade link to Ethiopia and that it is the backbone of the economy of the Mount Kenya Region? (2) Is the chairperson aware that this section of the road has experienced huge traffic build up to the extent that it now takes four hours to reach Nanyuki and three hours to reach Nyeri? The huge traffic volume has led to a lot of accidents. (3) Is the chairperson aware that the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) had engaged a consultant to carry out the design for the upgrading of the road to a dual-carriage way to speed up trade and reduce travel time thereby encouraging business? (4) Why has the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) advertised the dualing of Kenol-Sabasaba-Murang’a Road before embarking on the construction of the Kenol-Makutano-Marua section whose design is ready? (5)When will the Government tender for the upgrading of the Kenol-Makutano- Marua section?"
