• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: (a) I beg to table a list of all the current classified roads in Migori Constituency. The roads have been classified and these will soon be made public. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: (b) Owing to the pressing needs of ongoing projects, I regret that my Ministry is not in a position to upgrade to bitumen standards any road in Migori Constituency in the coming financial year, 2010/2011. Nevertheless, my Ministry is mindful of the road condition and has set aside funds for maintenance of various roads in the constituency. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: (c) My Ministry is in the process of designing the Muhuru Bay-Migori Road through Trans-Mara district to connect to Kaplong-Bomet-Narok Road. That will be completed before the end of the year. Meanwhile, we are sourcing funds from development partners to construct the said road. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that Mumias-Bungoma Road is in dire need of maintenance. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir that is a fair question again. I would not wish to disclose which roads we plan to be reclassified roads in Migori until we disclose the global classification for the whole country, which will be done in this month of July. Yes, roads have been reclassified and some of them will be upgraded from class “D” to “C” and from “C” to “B”. That will be disclosed globally and officially once that classification exercise is finished. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: (b) That is why my Ministry has procured a maintenance contract to address the situation and the contractor is already on site. In addition, the Ministry, through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has budgeted for maintenance of all classes “A”, “B” and “C” roads in Western Province. Indeed, my Ministry has already awarded contracts for maintenance of Kisumu-Kakamega and Kakamega-Webuye sections of A1 road. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir that is a good one. It takes the persuasion of the availability of funds to do a road. When money is available, a road is tarmacked; when money is not available, a road is not tarmacked. So, it takes the persuasion of the availability of funds. I would want to indicate to the hon. Member for Kamukunji that the roads in Kamukunji are being looked into. He has already told me. I have asked the Kenya Urban Roads Authority to tell me the roads they plan to re-tarmack in Kamukunji. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the exercise was done by a consultant, and all the possible roads were driven through, or walked on by the consultant and the officers. Also, the people in those areas were interviewed; we also counted the vehicles on those roads to make sure that the functionality of each road was taken into account. We intend to release the reclassified structure before the end of July. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the hon. Member for giving me that valuable information that the contractor on the site is not performing very well. After this, I will follow up the matter because he is supposed to fill the potholes with the appropriate materials. He should not use any other material other the one which is on the ground at the moment. We have put in Kshs23 million and the contractor is M/s Logistics Limited and we expect him to do as instructed. So, I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving me that information. view
