• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I share the sentiments of hon. Otichilo. This is a Question on accountability of funds disbursed to schools throughout the country; it is fair that a detailed response is given of the exact manner in which the money was spent. I just arrived this morning from official duty in Mbarara, Uganda. I also got the same money. I beg the indulgence of the House that I take it upon myself to order for a proper review of the Question so that we get a detailed answer. I sympathise with the situation. view

• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: (a) Yes, I am aware that M/s Kariuki Construction Company Limited was contracted by the Board of Governors (BOG) of Nairobi School to construct Nairobi School Junior House in 2006/2007. view

Member. A total of Kshs517,964 is still outstanding as 5 per cent retention fees. However, the contractor lodged a claim for Kshs1,619,467, being loss of profit after the termination of the contract.

• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that there is a pending dispute, and after it the school will determine who owes the other money. Part “c” of my answer gives the very final arrangement that the contractor and the school mutually agreed. I think it was in order that they mutually agreed that they will determine the costs. view
