• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: As I stated earlier on the Floor of this House on 15th June, 2010, we have already received firm commitments from a consortium of development partners on tarmacking of Modika-Nuno-Modogashe section of Garissa-Wajir Road during the Financial Year, 2010/2011. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member has said that the answer has not changed. I have indicated that I have received a confirmed agreement from a financier for that road and that must be a change. I have already signed an agreement for funding for the construction of that road. This will be done by the OPEC at the cost of US$12 million. I am waiting to sign an agreement with four others for the same road.

• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: With regard to the Kshs1.2 billion mentioned by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, the same was not placed in the Printed Estimates of the Ministry of Roads. Therefore, it was not money available to us to utilise for the construction of that road or any other road in the Republic. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is a good question. The other development partners are Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA)Padea whom we are waiting to sign with dollars 10,000,000. The others are Saudi Arabia Fund. We are waiting to sign with them dollars 16,000,000, Abu Dhabi Fund - dollars 10,000,000, and Kuwait Fund - dollars 20,000,000. I cannot, therefore, indicate when this work will begin but there will be tarmacking of that road soonest. These agreements are all consummated and we will also factor in our budget our contribution as a Government. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Collective responsibility has not evaporated at all. I have already assured the House that once these agreements between us and the development partners have been fully consummated, they are fully signed, we have all agreed; I see no difficulty whatsoever on the part of the Government to mind its own section of the funding. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to indicate that the Kshs1.2 billion was supposed to have been in the Printed Estimates of 2009/2010 not 2010/2011 financial year. So those are two different financial years. I want to indicate that that financial year is now behind us and we are now looking at the new financial year 2010/2011. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I want to again indicate that it was in the statement and not in the Printed Estimates. Hence, it was not available to me to spend. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: These are documents that have not been signed so I cannot table documents which have not been consummated at all. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
