• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I bet that was done even before you became an hon. Member of Parliament. So, I believe that the former hon. Member was involved, former councilors were involved. It is not a matter that was done yesterday. It was done over four years ago. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the tender period is 90 days, which is three months. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, I am aware that a section of that road was washed away and that is why we have a contractor on site. I will not hesitate to add more money whenever I am able to, so that the road is made to the standard that is required. As regards the Eldoret-Kitale Road, I know that from Maili Tisa near Eldoret to Moi’s Bridge there is a bad section. I have placed a contractor on site and I have given him a further Kshs23 million to patch up the potholes. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of the fears; they must be unfounded, because the design works have not been completed at all. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say that every road has got specifications which are supposed to be followed by the contractor. I have a team that ensures quality is maintained on those constructions. If there is any contractor that does not comply with those specifications, we have a liability performance period - normally of 24 months - that a contractor is expected to repeat the works on that road. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already said that. I will not hesitate to add money so that, that work is done properly. In addition to that, in the interest of hon. Members from that part of the country, Kisumu-Kakamega A1 has been awarded to a contractor, M/s Associated Construction Company at a contract sum of Kshs321 million. The commencement letter is dated 7th June, 2010. The contractor is expected to be on the site by early July 2010 - that is next month. The other section of that road into Webuye - that is Kakamega-Webuye - was awarded to M/s ... view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Nzambani and Mutito Districts have no tarmac roads. (b) The road in question is classified as class “C”; when roads are classified as “A”, “B” or “C”, it is not necessary that they must be tarmacked now. But they will be given priority as they fall due. It is earmarked for design for upgrading to bitumen standards in the coming financial year, 2010/2011. The road will be considered for tarmacking once the design is finalized. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is why I have stated that we have plans to tarmack that road in the Financial Year 2010/2011. That is what we are saying. Again, we are also minding a bridge which is on that road. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will not confirm that, because I was not party to any effort to deny any section of this country tarmac roads. If anything, I would want tarmacking of roads in those areas where tarmac has not reached. That is my intention in the Ministry. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, once roads have been surveyed and designed, then we start looking for funds from the Exchequer and the development partners. So, all those roads which have been designed and completed, we are looking for funding for them. I think the road he has mentioned is in the Budget for 2010/2011. view
