    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Wednesday, 8th June, 2016, Sen. Karaba requested for a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation on the Sagana-Kagio-Kutus Road as follows:- (a) State why the renovation of the Sagana-Kagio-Kutus Road has stalled. (b) State when the renovation of the road will resume. (c) Explain whether the road will be renovated to bitumen standard. (d) State how much funds were set aside for renovation of the road; and, (e) State the completion date of the renovation works on the roads. The answers are as follows:- (a) The renovation works on the Sagana-Kagio-Kutus Road have not stalled but are on course under the periodic maintenance works which commenced on 28th December, 2015. We wish to clarify that the project road starts from Murang’a and runs through Sagana terminating at Samson Corner. At some point during the renovation, the contractor concentrated on the section near Murang’a and this may have created an impression to the public that the works had stalled. The major scope of the works entailed surface dressing, which requires utmost diligence in quality control right from the point of material extraction and is also impacted on by the weather conditions. As a result, the works could not be carried out during the rainy season that was experienced in the months of March, April and part of May, 2016. (b) The renovation of the road is on course and the contractor is in the process of doing surface dressing which is the last activity. (c) The existing road is being renovated to bitumen standards and the ongoing project is at periodic maintenance intervention. (d) The contracted amount for the renovation is Kshs45,838,096. (e) The completion date is expected to be towards the end of June, 2016."
