    "content": " I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents of Nakuru Town East Constituency, draw the attention of House to the following: THAT, an efficient and well-designed road infrastructure and network is a catalyst for economic growth facilitating rapid movement of goods, people and services and reducing traffic snarl-up; THAT, the Government through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), commenced an elaborate programme of eliminating roundabouts and T- junctions on major highways across the country; THAT, among the targeted junctions was the Nakuru-Nyahururu T-junction, where KeNHA built an interchange that became operational in May 2018; THAT, instead of reducing traffic within the Nakuru Town Central Business District as was hoped by the residents, the lack of a connecting road between the interchange and Oginga Odinga Avenue has negated the expected benefits of the interchange; FURTHER THAT, in addition, the Nakuru-Nyahururu turn-off interchange drainage system overflows with water from the uplands of Bahati Constituency, Milimani and Kenya Industrial Training Institute (KITI) areas and drains immediately after the interchange around Kivumbini, a densely populated residential area; THAT, the volume of rain water has increased after the construction of the interchange, which directed the waters to the densely populated areas in Kivumbini Ward, hence causing death and destruction of properties; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
