"content": " Hon. Speaker and Members, we have done some work to unlock. For example, the Chemuswa Danger Road has the same contractor and they have started from one side. Do we move the contractor to the other side? Do we get two gangs so that one gang starts from the other side? Yes, we are able to do that given the fact that we have lately paid the contractors. I encourage Members to talk to some of these contractors when you drive and meet them. They were in a very sorry state. We owed them money, they owed subcontractors and suppliers of cement and steel money. They also did not pay salaries. However, with the unlocking of that challenge, I confirm that all those roads that the Senator has talked about are funded in the current financial year. I would like to spend some time with the Senator to confirm that. It is the same thing across the whole country. We have really done fairly well with the unlocking of the pending bills and ensuring that every road that has a contractor has at least a milestone funding in the Financial Year 2025/26 to ensure that we do not The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I really appreciate the CS for the way he is handling the Ministry, but I still have one question which I know he is privy to. I do not know what the plans the Ministry has concerning a road that is sharing the same problem with what Sen. Cherarkey has said. That is the road from Chebole-Siongorio-Emurua Dikirr-Silibwet- Olenguruone-Chamaner-Kyogong- Sigor. What plans does the Ministry have? This is because these are the roads that have been having a challenge with the pending bills and they have been in construction for the last four years. The same roads are also getting worn out before even they are completed. Can the CS respond to that? Thank you."

Cherarkey asked about and whether Honorable CS would be prepared to answer that off from the top of his head without having prepared for it. Honorable CS, are you able to respond to that?"

With respect to Chebole-Laboyot-Dikirr, we are reconstructing starting this financial year. Kyogong-Sigor-Chebunyo is ongoing because of the pending bills payments. The contractor is on site and the Senator may be aware of that. On Silibwet-Merigi-Kapkimolwo-Longisa, the contractor is on site. I think he is giving us an additional certificate. We paid the pending bills in December and they have done seven kilometers of tarmac and we have money to pay and he will continue for the next milestone. Thank you.
