    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Mathatani - Kaloleni Road is classified as D527 and E1807 and starts at Mathatani on the Junction A104 just before the Machakos Turn-off and proceeds through the Mau Hills to end at Kaloleni which is the junction with C99, Kangundo – Machakos Road. The length of the road is approximately 22 kilometres. The reason for the fast- wearing out of the gravel is on account of the sharp gradients. Some of the sections have gradients in excess of 18 per cent. (b) Funding for the gravel section was under the 24 per cent equitable portion of the Roads Maintenance Levy, but the Roads Act, 2007 reduced the Roads Maintenance Levy from 24 per cent equitable to 10 per cent equitable. This meant that there would be no funds for tarmac king the steep section of this road this financial year. Unless we plan in the coming year, we do not have that funding in this financial year."
