• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I suggest you give him more time because of traffic jam. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that residents of Mutyambua and Kasikeu locations are unable to cross Kiatini (Muoni) River during this rainy season. Due to budgetary constraints, my Ministry was not able to allocate funds for the construction of the said bridge during this financial year. (b) Consideration will be given for the construction of the bridge once it is factored by the Makueni Constituency Roads Committee in its work plan. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the drift would cost an estimated figure of Kshs20 million.

Once they prioritize that project, I will take it seriously; it will mean that the people from the two sides of the river are in need of a bridge, and that it is the main item that they will want us to attend to. view
