    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public works and Housing regarding the status and utilization of funds allocated for the construction of Mogonga–Kenyenya–Magenche–Eberege– Riokindo–Magena Road to bitumen standard in Bomachoge Borabu Constituency. Hon. Speaker, considering the measures that the Government has put in place to ensure road contractors undertake projects as per the set standards, including blacklisting of contractors who fail to implement projects within the set standards, the roads in Bomachoge Borabu Constituency are unpassable and in dire need of repairs and maintenance. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing on the following: (i) How much funds have the Government utilized as allocated for the construction of Mogonga–Kenyenya–Magenche–Eberege–Riokindo–Magena Road to bitumen standard since the year 2016? (ii) How much of the funds allocated for the Financial Years 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 have been disbursed to enable the contractor to deliver the set targets? (iii) How does the Government intend to ensure that the road from Eberege Tea factory to Kenyenya area remains passable for transportation of tea leaves to the factories? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
