• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not visited the place personally. Should it then be one and a half kilometers and all that money was spent, obviously, something is not right. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware that Nzambani is in Mutito and cannot be in Machakos for sure. I do not know whether there is a place called Nzambani in Machakos Town. I thought that it was in Mutito Constituency. As I said, I thought that, that project had been completed. The scope of work says that it is an earth dam. An earth dam, if it is there, would cost this much. We need to confirm whether it is in Machakos or Mutito. However, there is a place in Machakos called Mutitoni. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I have here is Nzambani Earth Dam. The scope of work is in Machakos Town Constituency. The wages paid to the youths amounted to Kshs2.9 million. The tools that were used were worth Kshs292,000. Administration costs were Kshs18,408 and that makes a total of Kshs2.1 million on completion. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I will need more time. However, I just want to say that there are many names which are similar but apply to different places. However, I will go and check whether this was in Mutito or Machakos. Here, it is shown as Machakos. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be ready next week. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The tender for the construction of Katumba Borehole in Bangale Location was advertised in t he Daily Nation and The Standard on 12th March, 2010. Bids were submitted and evaluated, but after having a non-responsive bidder, the tender was re- advertised on 25th June, 2010. Bids were re-submitted and evaluated, and the responsive bidder awarded the tender. (b) The tender was awarded to the responsive bidder, M/s Atesian K. Limited of P.O. Box 126190 – 400, Nairobi on 5th October, 2010. (c) The scope of works in the contract is to ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the hon. Member’s concerns. You notice that the first advertisement was on 12th March, and there were no responsive bidders. Even when we re-advertised the tender in June, it took a long time because most of the contractors were saying that they would not want to undertake works in those far away places. So, we tried to look for locally-based contractors. What we are trying to do is build capacity of local contractors, including connecting them with some of the local financial institutions, because a big contractor based in Nairobi may not want to ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member. To expect a contractor to drill a borehole to a maximum depth of 280 metres for Kshs2 million, for me, is a tall order. However, now that this contractor has signed the contract papers, maybe, he has a way of doing it. I cannot tell him that he cannot do so when he has already signed the contract. However, I know that he may fail to do the work. On the issue of using the NYS and the Armed Forces, that is something we sometimes try, but we find that ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have, but if something is advertised in the newspapers, and you get the lowest bidder but you do not award the tender to him, as you know, there will be a problem. The lowest bidder will ask: “Why was I not awarded the tender?” So, we have got to do what the Public Procurement and Disposal Act requires us to do. view
