• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, yes, indeed, my officers have given me a note and confirmed what I have said. The other East African countries, on a formula or ratio, are meeting their part of the building of this one- stop border points and weighbridges. I would not be able to give the figures. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: I will not be able to give the figures, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I may be having another typographical error. I beg your indulgence that I will correct it. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to clarify that we allocate money to roads. So, the allocation is for the road in the respective district. As I had explained earlier, the Kshs5,000 is a token amount to give me a possibility of prioritising the road when funds become available. I will embark on that road first before I go to another road. So, it is intended to be a green signal for me to go to that road before I embark on any other road. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I will do a thorough audit of the placement of funds in the districts. I will make sure that every road is under the right district and I will submit a full and corrected list in the course of tomorrow. view

• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said Resolution. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The maintenance of the Migori-Muhuru Road (C13) is ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of October this year. I have already instructed the contractor on site to move with speed and enhance the progress of works ahead of the expected short rains.

• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, we may have promised to tarmac the road but resources available to us would not enable us to tarmac the road as of now. That does not mean that we have no plans to tarmac that road. I want to assure the hon. Member that we will keep the road in view for the next slot of the roads to be tarmacked. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are specifications when roads are being tarmacked with regard to the materials to be used. If any contractor will be using materials that are not certified or approved by officials from my Ministry, that contractor would be contravening the requirements of the contract. I want to thank the Member for letting me know that there is a contractor who could be using the wrong materials on a road somewhere in this country. I will follow it up and take the necessary action. view
