"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the commencement of the Mombasa Gate Bridge Construction Project. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Government of the Republic of Kenya, through the Kenya National Highways Authority secured a loan agreement, with the Government of Japan through the Japanese International Co-operation Agency (JICA), to construct the Mombasa Gateway Project in 2019. The primary objective of that project was to establish a road connection between Mombasa Island and the South Coast which currently relies heavily on ferry services for transportation. The bridge would improve traffic flow and accessibility to the South Coast thereby fostering economic development in the region. However, various challenges have delayed the initiation of the construction, prompting concerns regarding its status and implementation. It is against this backdrop that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. Could the Chairperson provide details on the loan agreement between the Japanese and Kenyan governments for the Mombasa Gate Bridge Construction Project, particularly the total funding provided and repayment terms? 2. Could the Chairperson state when the construction will commence, noting that there were timelines for commencement in the year 2021 and for completion to be within 36 months? 3. Could the Chairperson clarify whether the Mombasa Gate Bridge Project loan agreement was among the current restructured mid-term loans and, if so, provide details on the restructuring? I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."

"content": "programme (PWSD-CT) is one of the four cash transfer programmes that are implemented by the Government as part of the overall social protection interventions; noting that caregivers undertaking the immense responsibility of providing daily care and assistance to persons with severe disabilities (PWSD) are oftentimes the immediate family members of the PWSD; concerned that, this causes a disproportionate burden on those families as persons who would otherwise be engaged in gainful employment or other activities to provide for the families are limited by those immense responsibilities; further concerned that, that loss of income opportunities and resources exacerbates the challenges that are faced by those families; cognizant that, the Government ought to take action to recognize the invaluable contributions of caregivers and support them in caring for individuals with severe disabilities; now therefore, this House resolves that the Government, through the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, recognizes primary caregivers of persons with severe disabilities (PWSD) as a distinct category requiring social protection and support, and further, develops and implements a cash transfer programme for those primary caregivers."
