    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I the undersigned, on behalf of the listed residents of Shinyalu Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, a good road network is essential for facilitating economic development, investment and access to social services; THAT, contracts for rehabilitation of the Kisumu-Kakamega and Kakamega-Kaburengu section of the Kisumu-Webuye Road were awarded in 2010; THAT, almost six years since the contracts were awarded, rehabilitation of the Kisumu- Kakamega section is yet to be completed while works for the Kakamega-Kaburengu section commenced but have since stalled; THAT, the contractors of that road, particularly the Kakamega-Kaburengu section, have been on and off the site thereby slowing down the completion of the said project whose contract period was to be 24 months, while the Sigalagala-Kambi-Mwanza-Kaburengu section is worst hit by the delayed construction and has become impassable, especially during the rainy season; and, THAT, lack of any marked diversions on the Kakamega-Webuye Road, coupled with the presence of abandoned machinery and equipment on the site, continues to cause rampant accidents and loss of lives. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing:- (i) investigates the circumstances that are causing the delay in the completion or rehabilitation of the said section of the road; (ii) intervenes in liaison with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), to ensure that the road is expeditiously completed for enhanced safety and ease of transport; (iii) that the extra cost likely to be occasioned by the delayed completion of the said road works is not offset from public funds but be individually borne by the respective contractors; and, 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."
