    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for allowing me to present this Petition from the residents of Igembe Central Constituency on the deplorable state of the 28 kilometre section of the Maua-Meru Road from Farm to Murera Gate of the Meru National Park. I, the undersigned, on behalf of concerned residents of Igembe Central Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, the 28 kilometre section along the Maua-Meru Road from Farm to Murera Gate, Meru National Park is a critical road corridor that traverses the food basket of Igembe Central, feeds the Meru National Park with tourists and connects Meru County with Isiolo County from the south via Garba Tulla; THAT, the road was tarmacked about 20 years ago and has been neglected. It has not been regularly maintained thereby degenerating into a pathetic and deplorable state, particularly after the recent El-Nino rains; THAT, the impassable state of the road has drastically reduced inflow of tourists to the renown Meru National Park and cut off residents from accessing markets for their farm produce, consequently, stagnating economic growth and escalating poverty among residents who depend on agriculture and tourism; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
