    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation on the issue of redesigning and expansion bridge along Eldoret Kapsabet highway. In the Statement- (1) The Committee should state the reasons why it has taken too long for KeNHA to renovate and expand Kingwal Bridge despite having access and found it to be dangerous. (2) State the status of redesigning and expansion of Kapsabet-Eldoret Highway, Kapsabet-Chavakali Road, Kapsabet-Nandi Hills-Chemilil and Awasi Road as they are narrow and renovations are necessary, but nothing has been done despite various requests and assurances by KeNHA on the same. (3) State the reason as to why KeNHA has not build an alternative route at Kingwal Bridge for traffic and people to use in case of an overflow which occurs frequently causing people going to Kapsabet, Kisumu, Chavakali in western Kenya and Nyanza to use a longer route of Kesses-Lessos Road. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Chairperson should also note that the recent rains did not make anything better because Kingwal Bridge became over-flowed. Most vehicles could not access Kisumu or Chavakali. Finally, outline the measures, if any, that the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure Housing, Urban Development and Public Works have to come up with long lasting solution to this perennial problem of the overflowing bridge at Kingwal and expansion of the said roads considering the bridge is dangerous, not only to users, but the community around that place. 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."
