    "content": "In the Statement, the Committee should explain why: (i) the construction of Chemusus-Danger Road, Kaiboi-Chepterwai Road in Masab Sub-County, Nandi Hills- Imaki Road in Nandi Hills Sub-County, Kesses-Lessos Road in Kesses and Nandi Hills Constituencies are stalled; (ii) explain the reasons for the removal of contractors that were working on the said road whose construction works have stalled; (iii) explain the fate of the contracts awarded to contractors for road projects that have failed to take off; and (iv) State the intervention made by the Government to ensure the construction of stalled road projects in Nandi County continues without much delay. Mr. Speaker Sir, you will note that all these are cross-cutting in Nandi County, for example, in Chesumei, Mosop and Nandi Hills which is three-quarters of Nandi County. I would like the Committee on Roads and Transportation led by my good friend, Sen. Wamatangi, to follow up on this issue so that there is resumption of upgrading our roads in Nandi County to bitumen standards. I am cognizant of the fact that both the national and county governments have stalled projects. We want to reduce the number of stalled projects that we have in this country. I know this problem is not only prevalent in Nandi County. I have heard many Senators complaining that most of their roads which were under construction have stalled. I wish to request further, may be as part of additional information that the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transportation should tell us how many roads which have been upgraded to bitumen standards across the country have stalled. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
