    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.46(2)(b), I rise to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation on the delay in upgrading of the Lamu-Garsen Road. In the statement, the Chairperson should: (1)Explain why the upgrading of Lamu-Garsen road to Bitumen standards that was launched two years ago has stagnated. (2) State the amount of money that has been allocated to the project in the last two financial years. (3)Explain why the contractor has not cleared bushes and thickets along the road, hence obscuring the road users and providing a fertile hideout for persons with intentions of attacking road users. (4)Confirm if the contractor is using substandard material for construction of the road and whether the standard of material being used is what was agreed upon in the tender documentation. (5)Explain the Government policy on treatment and remuneration of casual labourers working on road construction sites. (6)State the contents of contracts signed between the workers and the contractor if any and explain why the contractor, H-Young, has been mistreating the workers by giving them poor remuneration, overworking them and failing to pay them risk allowance, given the security situation along the said road. (7)Explain what action the Government will take to ensure that the road construction is resumed and completed within the set timelines; that the road is of good standard and that workers on the construction site are remunerated and treated as required by law."
