• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: My Ministry has completed a design of various roads in northern Kenya, including the Isiolo-Modogashe and Garissa-Wajir roads with a view to upgrading them to bitumen standards on a priority basis. I notice in the Budget Statement that it is indicated as Isiolo-Garissa-Modogashe-Wajir and I think that is correct. It is Isiolo- Modogashe and then Garissa-Modogashe and Modogashe-Wajir. I now wish to confirm that we have received firm commitments from a consortium of development partners on tarmacking of Modika-Nunu-Modogashe section of Garissa-Wajir Road during the next financial year, 2010/2011. What brought this Question to this House a second time is ... view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to believe that Mr. Deputy Speaker belongs to the whole country. The Isiolo-Modogashe Road is 195 kilometers and the development partners have come, viewed and assessed that road. So, we are in a negotiation mood with the development partner for that particular section of the road, and it is estimated to cost approximately Kshs15 billion. view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as soon as the mode and the moods are actualized. I am hoping that we will actualize those discussions before the end of this financial year. view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member, who is my friend, that the Minister is serious. I also want to inform him that on the same section of the road, we have signed an agreement already with OPEC of US$12 million. Awaiting signature is another agreement between us and ADB of US$10 million. Another agreement awaiting signature is with the Saudi Government of US$16 million. The next one is Abu Dhabi Fund, worth US$10 million. The Kuwait Fund is also awaiting signature with US$20 million. I want to appreciate those development partners who are willing to ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the amendment. I want to bring to the attention of hon. Members the fact that this Article does not talk about land alone. The word is “property”. It extends to your car and everything else that you have in this world. So, if you think that it only relates to land, and you think that there are only a few people who can own land, you are mistaken. It talks about property, and “property” has a wider description. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for affording me this opportunity at this momentous occasion and historical moment when we are debating the draft Constitution and deliver to the people of this country the much needed document; the new Constitution. On the onset, I want to pay tribute of congratulations for a job well done to all the institutions and organs that have come before us. I want to thank the CoE. They may be 14 members, but they are people of integrity and knowledge. I also want to thank the (PSC), more so the Chairman and his Vice-Chairman. ... view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, every morning before 6.00 a.m., a friend of mine in Kericho sends me a text message or an inspirational note for the day. Today, he sent me one. It says: “Embrace this day with hope.” The operative word is “hope”. The people of this country have hope in us. They have placed their confidence in us. They believe in the minds that the Members of Parliament they elected shall give them this Constitution. Then I took time to look at the Holy Book and what it says about hope. I came across a statement by ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the hon. Member say that my Ministry is involved in Anglo Leasing and that we are preparing to be in it. I want to give an assurance to the House that my Ministry is not in any way--- I want to ask him to substantiate. view
