    "content": "(i)THAt, aware that the Bomas-Ongata Rongai- Kiserian Road is a critical link between the three centres of Kajiado region as a whole; (ii) THAT, the road is a single lane inhibiting free movement of people, goods and services from a densely populated area; (iii) THAT, the continued heavy traffic jam on peak hours has contributed to immense loss of man-hours; (iv) THAT, potential residents and investors of Ongata Rongai and Kiserian areas due to the heavy traffic jam have relocated to other areas denying the two areas development; (v) THAT, the single lane road has seen the cost of transport increase to unpredictable rates during peak hours while the time taken to cover the short distance has increased from less than thirty minutes to more than two hours which is not even assured; (vi) THAT, this added cost has increased expenses on the already burdened Ongata Rongai and Kiserian residents working or travelling to Nairobi; and, (vii) THAT, the matter in respect of which this Petition is made is not pending before any court of law or tribunal. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing– (i) Intervenes to have the Bomas-Ongata Rongai-Kiserian Road made into a dual carriage Road to decongest it and be a relief to the people of Ongata Rongai and Kiserian areas in Kajiado North Constituency in Kajiado County; (ii) Make any other recommendations that may be deemed fit in addressing the plight of the said residents. And your petitioners will forever pray."
