There was a fight when we were advertising on whether we should publish it as Ukia Emali or Emali Ukia but it has been advertised. It has been closed and it is undergoing evaluation. We have funded it in the current financial year for us to have mobilisation and funds for the first milestone. The Ukia Emali Road construction will start in due course."

"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to first thank the Cabinet Secretary. It has been a long day for him. My question is about the northern road that goes from Isiolo to Mandera. I want to thank the President for standing firm to see that the road is on progress. It is progressing. However, there are some challenges, especially delay of payments. Some sections have started while some have not. The one for Samatar-Wajir has already been started, but the two sections were under annuity, that is, Modogashe-Samatar and Rhamu-Mandera. What is the position of the annuity because last time the President promised that the nation that the Government is going to take over to ensure that this road is done completely and not in patches?"

"content": " This corridor, honorable Members, totals slightly about 766 kilometers. It is quite a lengthy road starting from Isiolo, going all the way as Sen. Abbas says. It ends in Mandera East, where we have that annuity section, Rhamu-Mandera, which was under annuity, including Samatar-Modogashe, which is also under annuity. I will have a meeting this afternoon. We are moving from annuity to Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC). We have done one road from annuity to EPC, the one in Taita-Taveta, and then we are just basically cutting and pasting what we did for Taveta-Illasit-Njukini. We had a challenge between the two contractors of this road, a company which had a local component and we have resolved that challenge. We will move quickly because this is the section that is likely to cause delay, to move Rhamu-Mandera and Modogashe-Samatar to EPC. We will award, probably through the specially permitted procurement method, because there was already a contractor, and start that section of the road. You will have noted that the other section of the road, which was in the papers just the other day, is that 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": "section where we had the Arab funding and which we really need to close quickly. That is the section between Samatar to Wajir. Those are the only two sections. I have instructions to make sure that the whole corridor is open at the same time. So we will accelerate Modogashe-Samatar and Rhamu- Mandera to move from annuity to EPC, and work with the Arab Bank on what we advertised yesterday to finish Samatar to Wajir and the whole corridor will have contractors. We have resolved the insecurity challenges. I think we have attention from our forces inspecting and supervising the construction. The section, for example, like Isiolo- Kulamawe or Kulamawe to Modogashe, with this contractor called China State Construction is very good progress and today at about 45 percent completion. There is very good work on this corridor that will open our northern part of Kenya to be like the rest of Kenya."
