However, as we seek for funds to tarmac these roads, they must be maintained to a motorable state.

• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the benefit of hon. Members, in part (a) of my answer I said: “It is not the case that all roads surrounding Kitui Town are not tarmacked.” In part (b) of my answer, I enumerated some of the roads that are tarmacked.

Nevertheless, my Ministry has reviewed the classification of roads under the Roads Sector Investment Programme that will be used to identify priorities for the purpose of maintenance and upgrading of these roads. view
