"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concerns raised by the hon. Member. I want to appreciate the various economic activities that take place in Eastleigh and the neighbouring areas. In recognition of that, we have come up with a package that will restore the roads in Eastleigh, so that business people can be able to undertake their business activities without fear of the infrastructure collapsing. Therefore, in connection to that, the Government has engaged Northern Construction Company, as I said, to rehabilitate Second Avenue and Fifteenth Street at a contract sum of Kshs173,360,000. The contract period is 12 months. The works commenced on 28th October, 2011 and are expected to be completed on 27th October, 2012."

I want the Assistant Minister to confirm whether it is deliberate effort by the Government, and more so the Ministry of Roads, to neglect Eastleigh. The Government is doing the roads in Westlands and other places throughout the country. For decades now, Kenyans in Eastleigh cannot access the business malls that are in Eastleigh. Could he confirm whether it is a deliberate attempt by his Ministry not to improve the roads and the sewer network in Eastleigh?"

I wish to also confirm that until about two years ago, the responsibility of maintaining roads in urban centres lay with the municipal council and the city councils. The Ministry would forward the funds to the local authorities and then the local authorities would undertake the work but since we took up roads in urban centres under the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), I have already detailed what we have done in only two years. I am sure that within three years, we will have corrected all the problems that have been there for many years."
