Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have taken note of the concerns by the hon. Member of Parliament. I believe the contractor is working as per his contractual obligations. If he has failed in any part of the contract agreements, I will take action.

My Ministry plans to use the routine maintenance funds budgeted for in the year 2008/2009 to plant grass on the side slopes and carry out stone fitting where necessary in order to protect the edges of the road from erosion. The proper completion will be carried out during the periodic maintenance of this road.

Indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that I am going to provide feeder roads to this road and also carry out the works this hon. Member has asked for. With regard to some roads, for example, the Nyamira-Kadongo section, I have actually put aside Kshs1.6 million for that purpose.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that part of the work has delayed. However, I am looking at the possibility of starting this work mid next month, or latest, the end of next month so that I can meet my target, which is finishing these works at the end of this financial year.

(a) I am not aware that commercial and public transporters are withdrawing from the Nakuru-Kisumu and Nakuru-Eldoret Road. The Ministry has ongoing maintenance contracts for Mau Summit-Kisumu Road and a rehabilitation contract for the Njoro Turnoff-Timboroa Road. I, therefore, expect vehicle operation costs to go down as a result of the work I am doing on this road.

(b) The contract sum for rehabilitation of the Njoro Turnoff-Timboroa Road is Kshs4.3 billion. This project is scheduled for completion in April, 2009, while the rehabilitation contracts for Mau Summit-Kericho-Kisumu are under procurement and the contract sum shall be known after the tender valuation.

The Mau Summit-Kericho-Kisumu contracts are expected to start in March, 2009, with a possible completion date of August, 2011. The cost of rehabilitating Timboroa-Eldoret-Webuye-Malaba Road will be known on finalisation of the engineering design and documentation that is ongoing now.
