• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I must indicate that I am not aware of that letter. So, I cannot claim I know it. You may as well be right by saying the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. However, be that as it may, my Ministry’s undertaking is that the road will be repaired once the contractor has come to the conclusion of the construction works, which he is involved in at the moment. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the Member that our transporters, not only Shengli Construction Company, do not comply with the law. They always disobey the law. That is why we are using a lot of money to build weigh bridges. This is a serious matter. I would urge our people to appreciate the importance of protecting our roads. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will handle the matter at the right time. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already issued instructions that in the meantime the potholes must be looked after by the contractor. Any damage on the road must be looked after by the contractor. I want to assure the House that by March next year, this contractor will be out of that road. That is the time I have given instruction for him to repair that road. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, I agree with the hon. Member. However, in the same vein, I wish hon. Members were also concerned that other road users like log hauliers, people who remove logs from our forests also destroy our roads. So, I will only repair those as soon as those contractors move out of the site and I get funds from the Exchequer. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with you. However, I am wondering why those pipes are on the road. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is true. They are under obligation to repair the road as they are using it to ferry their materials. They will finally repair it, when they will be leaving. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, I agree that there is no logging in Juja, but there is logging elsewhere in the country, which is destroying our roads. Yes, I undertake that continued maintenance of the road be undertaken by the contractor. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have no objection to the proposals under parts (a) and (b) of Eng. Gumbo’s amendment and the deletion of part (c), but I have a problem with part (d) of the proposed amendment. Under part (d) of the amendment, the hon. Member is attempting to define the word “survey”. That would mean we are protecting the word “survey” in this law. I do not think it is the intention of this Bill to protect the word “survey” because there is no attempt, even on the part of the engineers, to protect the word “engineer”. view
