On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of Roads regarding the current state of Mombasa Road which is currently under construction. We all know that Mombasa Road is the life line of this country. The current state of the road is very pathetic. It is in a very bad shape. The road is poorly maintained. The diversion is not frequently maintained. This has caused most of the traffic and especially small vehicles that are not able to use it to take longer routes through Kangundo. The diversion alone ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me thank the Mover of this Motion. The issue of water catchment areas has been discussed for too long! We are all in agreement that we must protect water catchment areas. The question is: Is the Government ready to effect what has been said before?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that Kshs295 million which was meant for the KMC was instead transferred to the Kibarani plant, and further Kshs300 million was misappropriated, could the Government consider allocating a further, say, Kshs600 million to July 17, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1931 replace the same?

asked the Minister for Nairobi Metropolitan Development what action the Government is taking to urgently address the serious problem of traffic jams in Nairobi.

17 Jul 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, how I wish that I got a much better answer. Traffic jam is a crisis in this country. My Question was basically addressed to the Government. I understand there is still the Ministry of Roads and the Ministry of Local Government involved. However, the Minister has restricted himself to his Ministry. Secondly, the Question is addressing Nairobi at large. However, the Minister has restricted himself to the Central Business District (CBD). He has not mentioned what is being done on Ngong Road where there was supposed to be a dual carriage, Waiyaki Way which is a mess, ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an appeal to the Government and the Minister. If one lands at the airport at 4.00 p.m. he or she will get to the city centre at 7.00 p.m. at night. I am appealing to the Government and the Minister to do something. At least provide for a by-pass that goes through South B and South C.
