Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Minister for the answer. However, the answer given is a bit shallow. These roads have been in place since the 1920s. If you look at their classification, you will realise that it shows how long they have been in existence. The state of these roads is very bad and vehicles cannot even use them.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these roads have no provision of culverts leading to institutions and even junctions. The Minister has indicated that he has allocated only Kshs11 million for a 55-kilometer road. It beats logic how much it costs a Ministry to grade and murram a kilometer road. Could the Minister indicate whether he can increase the budget allocation for upgrading or grading and murraming these roads?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Minister for the elaborate answer. However, I want to state that the Kenya Airways, of late, has permanent delays. I can remember on the 14th of October, there was a delay of almost two hours when hon. Members were going to Mombasa. I can remember the very day in question, the 22nd of October, 2011, passengers queued for over six hours at the Mombasa International Airport lounge. The flight KQ611 took off at almost 1.00 a.m. when it was supposed to leave Mombasa at around 6.00 ...
