Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of any engineers who are also contractors. But, indeed, if there are any engineers who are working for the Ministry and who also have their private constructing firms, we will like to take immediate action. However, I also want to take this opportunity to assure the hon. Member that whenever there is a disconnect between the reports we get and what is on the ground, my Ministry has been on the forefront to ensure that we visit the actual roads and the constituencies. For instance, yesterday we were in Bomet and many of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the concerns of the hon. Member, that is clearly a different question. He did not ask for the details that he is asking for now. However, I can avail those details to the hon. Member at the earliest possible opportunity.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I answer that question, I would like to quote the Act that gives the Ministry the criteria to distribute the money. That is the Act that the hon. Member has referred to. The Act says that based on a five year road investment programme, the Ministry of Roads shall collect funds from the Kenya Roads Board. Section 1 says that 20 per cent of the money from the Fund is allocated equally to all constituencies in the country to be administered by the Rural Roads Authority. (c) 12 per cent of the monies from the Fund ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that the Ministry is very serious with the maintenance of this section of the road. We can only allocate that money that has been allocated to the Ministry. We appreciate that there are constraints in terms of finances, but we will ensure that we prioritise this section of the road in the coming financial year.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to confirm to the hon. Member that, indeed, we have visited that section of the road. We are aware of the deplorable condition of roads in those regions. I want to assure the hon. Member that in the coming financial year, we will ensure that we prioritise that section of the road. I would like to appreciate that most of the other roads, especially in the Northern Corridor, have been done. Now our priority will be to ensure that the access roads to the producing areas have been taken care of.
