    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 46(2)(b), I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation regarding the collapsing and cut-off of a section of the Narok- Mai Mahiu Road due to heavy rains. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) Explain the short term measures that the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has put in place to restore roads when such calamities occur especially on the Narok-Mai Mahiu Road. (2) Explain the long term measures that the KeNHA will put in place including redesigning of major roads as a disaster preparedness measure and not limited to building water barriers to stop flood water from entering our roads. (3) Given the unique terrain of the Maa region, what safety measures did the contractor put in place to ensure that the road does not cave in, considering that this road gets cut off every year during heavy rains. (4) Is KeNHA aware of areas where flood waters have receded hence weakened those roads with an eminent danger of caving in? Thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
