• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, Mwirua Bridge is located on Road E1593 at the junction of D428. The bridge is approximately ten metres and construction was undertaken by the Ministry of Roads in 2008 at a cost of Kshs1,000,000.

In our Budget this year, we will try to ensure that there is funding to be able to rehabilitate the bridge. view

Now it is the Constituency Roads Committee to prioritize the roads to be repaired. However, that ... view

Clearly, we may not be able to do all of them but on the basis of priority, we will pick on one. I would also like to say that as soon as I get the exact estimates for this bridge, I will furnish the hon. Member. view
