"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Part âCâ of my answer, I said that my Ministry was eager to construct the Voi-Taveta Road and had approached several development partners, including the European Union, to support the project once the design review was completed. But when the ADB, which was financing the design consultancy work undertook to provide funding for the construction of the same road under the East African Community, the Ministry decided to utilize the available funds under the EU for the implementation of another road within the same county; that is Merile-Marsabit section of the Isiolo-Moyale Road. Lastly, the hon. Member has requested to know when exactly the road will be constructed. I am happy to inform the House that my Ministry, through the funding from the Government of Kenya and the ADB, are currently involved in negotiations towards arriving at a favourable contract for the rehabilitation of that road. A total of Kshs8 billion has been earmarked for that road and the procurement process is due to start in April next year. The Tanzanian Government has undertaken to fund their section of the road - which is the Arusha-Holili Road - using the ADB facility."
