• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: The Ministry of Roads has no immediate plans to rehabilitate Muchorowe- Kamwaura-Sitoito-Kamore Road. Nevertheless, this road is classified as class E. The District Roads Committee or the envisaged Constituency Roads Committee should use the available funding under the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund to give the necessary priority for roads maintenance. The road from county council at Molo to Chepsir is also under the jurisdiction of the DRC; therefore, it should include it in its plans for rehabilitation. view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, by virtue of the classification of the roads, they actually fall under the DRC, which will now be converted into the CRC where the Member of Parliament will play a key role. We recommend that the hon. Member places these particular roads on a priority for maintenance. view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: That is a request which will certainly be considered. I will convey the sentiments of the hon. Member to the Minister for Roads for consideration. view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware that funds have been allocated to Mr. Cheruiyot’s constituency for this purpose. However, if he feels that the funds will not be adequate to complete the maintenance to the level required, he should be at liberty to raise that with the Ministry of Roads for consideration for additional funding. view

I think this is important. It is also a recognition of the fact that we are now becoming a ... view
• 11 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are talking about 1.4 million people. That is a very sizeable segment of our society. These are people who are there and, who have become vulnerable because of no fault of theirs at all. Many of them are in that state because of the process of aging and many others are in that state because, even though they may have been employed before, they were not able to save money to enable them to look after themselves later in their lives.
