Finally, on the Sultan Hamud Road, I am reliably informed that this is also one of those roads that have waited for far too long to get the support of the Government. Let me inform Hon. Kimilu that all the letters from Members of Parliament are marked to the relevant office of the Principal Secretary and we put all the requests on a dashboard to make sure we track and implement. The only problem is that I get about 200 to 300 letters. Sometimes, a Member of Parliament writes a letter and writes a reminder. Maybe the mistake on our ...

If you watch the news today or get information from the social media, the road that connects Lamu to Mombasa has been destroyed by the rains. We will continue assessing it. Eventually, we will sit down and look at what is in the emergency fund, and what we can come back to this House to try and allocate for restoration of our roads.

there was a specific question sent to me regarding Mau Mau roads which fall within all these roads that are pending across the country. We do not discriminate on any road, be it Mau Mau or any other. We will support all these roads as soon as we get the resources. No part of the country has received more consideration than the other. Hon. Mukunji has been pushing me. We will make sure that we compensate those who need to be compensated. We will also check on some counties like Embu. Although neighbouring counties have Mau Mau roads, it is ...

Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I seriously beg you, because this is a formal setting, if you can set aside a day for an informal set up to discuss the future of our roads with Hon. Members next year. The Ministry will be very grateful.

On the question of floods, we will not distribute resources equally. It will be based on the damage because it is a restoration fund. The roads that will be affected most must receive the highest resources. As you can see now, the North Eastern part, parts of Nyanza, Upper and Lower Eastern and the Coast are the most affected in the country. We hope that we will not have the highest damage on our roads in the western part of the country in the next one month. As I have told you, we cannot carry the burdens that come with ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is always very nostalgic to be back home. I consider the Senate my home even more than the Ministry where I am. This is where I established my career and was catapulted to national limelight because of the work we did here. I appreciate and respect this House so much. I wish to tell colleagues who are here, make the best use of this place while you are still here. Sometimes when you are out there, you wish you had this platform to make certain pronouncements that are important for posterity. I really ...
