Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering that the Government is spending a lot of money on road repairs, could the Assistant Minister consider engaging the services of a contractor to go round the country and repair all the small cracks and potholes, instead of waiting for the roads to become impassable? He has just told us it will cost Kshs 1 billion plus to repair a road. We should have a contractor who goes round the country to repair cracks and potholes before they become bad.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, 180 kilometres is the same distance from here to Nyeri. In fact, from here to Nyeri is 161 kilometres. The water project cannot be that it was to cover the distance from here to Nyeri. We know that the length is about 40 kilometres from the intake to Mwiyogo Location. I think there is something wrong with her calculations. Again, when the Minister says that the cost of the project is Kshs150 million and the amount spent is about Kshs62 million, we have Kshs87 million which has not been spent.
