• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is correct. We have consulted with the hon. Member. I have also had consultations with the Minister for Energy and we agreed that we look at both answers and marry them. The Radiation Protection Board, which is the national competent authority on matters of radiation, safety and security of radioactive and nuclear materials, falls within the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation. Therefore, we asked the hon. Member to agree that I bring this Statement next week after marrying it together with also the answer from the Ministry of Energy, if it pleases you. view

• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The contractor at Lyanaginga Health Centre was terminated by the Economic Stimulus Programme Management (ESP) Committee on advice by the Ministry of Public Works on the grounds that the Committee resolved that the contractor was slow and lacked the capacity to speed up construction work. (b) The Economic Stimulus Programme Management Committee meeting held on 15th April, 2011 resolved that the Ministry of Public Works takes over the contract, and the District Tender Committee awards it to another competent contractor to complete the project. The process for new tendering is ongoing. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to put it on record that the work of construction is supervised by the Ministry of Public Works, and the project manager is under this Ministry. The Member of Parliament for the area is a member of the ESP Committee. The Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is involved in the management of this project. This also includes the District Commissioner (DC) --- view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought it was in order because this is information which is also in the possession of the Member of Parliament. All letters have been copied to the Member of Parliament. The amount of the contract is Kshs16 million, and at the time of its discontinuation, 35 per cent of the work had been done. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can confirm that they can be finished. As I speak now, there are seven constituencies which have completed their works. Those are three in North Eastern Province and four in Nyanza Province--- view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the best person to answer this Question is the Minister for Public Works, who is in charge of construction and works. However, I can confirm here that those which have been completed have been inspected and certified as well completed. Different areas might have different costs of construction; therefore, we cannot go by the fact that since an amount has been used to finish buildings in one area, the same amount should be able to finish others in a different area. However, that is for the Ministry of Public Works to value with the project manager and ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are in discussion with the Treasury, and I believe that for the work that is started, it will have to be finished. However, the funds will be rolled over to the project. This is what happened in the last financial year. I would like to inform hon. Members that I will table in this House the whole programme showing the status of the work as of now. I will show those who have done over 90 per cent, those still at 25 per cent and those at 50 per cent of the work. From that, you ... view

• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government is the client and I am an agent. We are in consultation with the Ministry of Public Works. They have taken the site and we have impressed upon them that this work must be done within this financial year. We will make sure that, that is reflected in the new contract. I hope that the committee on the ground will support us to make sure that, that happens according to schedule. I also hope that my officers will visit the site regularly and the MoH will keep an eye or check on the work. I ... view
