"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have also put more money on the on- going projects which are major. On the on-going major projects, the Ministry will among others continue road works on the following projects whose gross allocation, I will read alongside the road: The Northern Corridor â Kshs14, 564,646,000. The Nairobi-Thika Road, we are going to be utilizing Kshs13.3 billion. On the East African trade facilitation, we are going to be spending Kshs750 million. That is to provide for the weighbridges and one-stop point on our border points. Isiolo-Merille is a road that we are about to conclude its construction and we are putting in Kshs2.41 billion. Then there is Meru-Mariba and Imenti-Kionyo Road where we are going to be putting Kshs2.1 billion. For us to conclude Emali-Oloitoktok Road we shall be putting in Kshs1.74 billion. For the Namanga Road, I would like to report to this House that we are doing very well compared to our colleagues on the other side. We were expected to complete the section from Arusha-Namanga and Namanga-Athi River almost at the same time for the two countries. I think we will be ahead of our neighbour and that should be a credit to our Government. For Namanga- Athi River we are going to put in Kshs2.9 billion. Then there is Dondori-Ol Kalou-Njabini Road to be completed at Kshs1.9 billion. The Eastern by-pass is already in progress and as soon as the contractor concludes the construction, he will continue with the Northern by-pass. We are putting there Kshs4.9 billion."
