• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been assured that the Local Government Commission that deals with this matter will handle it in the shortest time possible. As I have said before, from the records of the ECK, there was extremely good turnout. I take the hon. Member's point and we shall follow it up. view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that, in fact, this is not an issue that is restricted to Amagoro Constituency alone. It is for that reason we set up the Local Government Commission of Inquiry. I will assure the hon. Member that all the matters that are placed before it will be tackled before gazettement. view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot give a further assurance than what I have just said. We will ensure that any issues that have been raised like in this particular case of Teso, will be sorted out before the elections take place. I am willing to sit with the hon. Member and follow it up with the ECK. Let me assure him that this will happen before the elections. view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The new Malindi Law Courts Project did not stall. Instead, it got into a technical hitch after the Principal Superintendent Architect in the Ministry of Roads and Public Works recommended that the building which was structurally weak may not be able to support the envisaged completed works. However, new works have since been procured for the project and the erection of a new building shall house the High Court, sub-ordinate courts and all other attendant facilities. The project is on course and it is projected that it will be completed in August, 2009. view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the initial projected cost was just for the renovation of the buildings that were in existence. We had set aside a contract sum of Kshs4 million for the entire works. However, we now intend to put up a totally new building and we are estimating that not less than Kshs45 million will be spent on this project. view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a good question. Up to now, the Judiciary has been clamouring to have separate accounts, so that the law courts can be withdrawing money directly from the Consolidated Fund. As the hon. Member has correctly pointed out, the law courts should be able to secure the money that they raise and use it for the purposes that they want. However, this is not yet the case in law. 3054 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 8, 2007 In regard to the hon. Member's request, this is going to go in accordance with the available budget and this is ... view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have already explained to this House, we are expecting to spend about Kshs45 million over a period of time. The work is in progress. Initially, one of the problems that we had was that there was single sourcing. Now we want to correct that by making it a little bit more competitive. I cannot tell the hon. Member right now who the contractor is. view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have explained to the hon. Member and the House that we intend to spend a total of Kshs45 million. view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for purposes of this year, I cannot give the exact figure right now. But we know that the intended figure will not be more than Kshs45 million. view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Question sought to find out why the project had stalled. I have assured this House that the project is on course. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question of how much money will be spent is a matter of figures. That is something that can easily be found out. But it was not part of the initial Question. view
