• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most of this is the responsibility of NEMA and the contractor and not the Ministry of Roads, directly.

• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that many lives have been lost and we sympathize with the situation. That is why I have already said that I have instructed the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) to quickly do a design to give me the estimated cost of a bridge.
