    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Member that, indeed, the EU had identified the road for possible funding, but it was later discovered that the EAC had a regional road network that is to be funded by the ADB. The road connecting Kenya to Tanzania through Namanga is under that programme. If you look at the Merile Road, it is also under the ADB programme. The ADB had specifically requested to fund roads that are connecting Kenya to her immediate neighbouring countries. When the EU saw this, it used the money for other projects within the country. However, this was not a direct transfer of funds from this project to another. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, the hon. Member has requested to know when we will be able to do the project. The estimate for the project is about Kshs8 billion. We are about to complete the design review, and the African Development Bank (ADB) has given favourable response in terms of the funding of that particular project. Thank you."
