• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister and his staff for a job well done. They have done their bit. Unfortunately, we, as a country, seem to like killing the goose that lays the golden egg. There are very critical Ministries that are very view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Vote of the Ministry of Roads. view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the most important measure for service delivery is customer satisfaction. We are representatives of the people of Kenya and from all the submissions from hon. Members here today, clearly, except for suggestions to improve on certain aspects of service delivery and equitable distribution of resources, this Ministry is doing a good job. So, for me, I see the key driving force in the Ministry for this commendable job is the Kenya Roads Board (KRB). So I will clearly go direct and congratulate the KRB because they are doing Kenyans proud. They should keep it up. view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: It is very important for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance to follow up on what it has indicated in the Budget with guidelines to all Ministries with regard to devolved resources to the constituencies. There are no clear instructions or guidelines to this Ministry with regard to those funds that were specially allocated for the purpose in this year’s Budget. Perhaps, it is very important that we urge the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance to do that as quickly as possible so that we know how these projects will ... view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: When I go to the issue of equity the way my colleagues have done, there are quite a number of areas in this country which were ignored in the past and which are very potential in terms of development and contribution to the economy of this country once they are opened up and their roads made. A good example is Northern Eastern Province and other parts such as the north and even Ukambani. It is not all just misery unlike what some of our colleagues or members of this country believe. But these are potential areas; they still have a ... view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: The other issue is the formation of the authorities. In any formation of any organization, there are always teething problems. This Ministry is doing a good job now and their activities are very well streamlined. I urge the Ministry to ensure that the operationalization of the authorities is done as quickly as possible. The civil servants who have been appointed to these authorities should get their postings as quickly as possible because as of about a week or two ago, they were still not posted although they had been appointed into the various authorities. It is important that they are ... view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the services that are being delivered at the district level now are a little wanting. They have become even worse after the posting of the officers to the authorities. Currently, therefore, the authorities are not operationalized but appointments have been done and delivery of services is still being done at the district level. There is a lot of corruption going on currently. There is a lot of inactivity and inefficiency apparently simply because those services will now be taken over by the authorities. So, I urge the Ministry to hasten the operationalization of the authorities. view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
