• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry has started the design of Lanet-Dondori Road C69 with the view of upgrading it to bitumen standards. I may also want to indicate there that I have extended the design work from Dondori to Oljororok so that it is one stretch of road. (b) My Ministry has allocated in this Budget, Kshs100 million for this road and the construction is expected to commence immediately the design and documentation is completed. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the road is extended to Oljororok because it is an agricultural area and those people of Oljororok need a road that is as good as that of Lanet to Dondori. Construction of a road does not take one day. I expect to consequently be planning to allocate more money to this road as construction continues in the years to come because it will be funded from our own Government resources. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very interesting proposal. I want to assure the hon. Member that at the right time, we will be able to procure a contractor in accordance with our tendering system. We cannot allocate that contractor that job just because he is on site. We would like to follow some procedures which are prescribed in the relevant laws of the country. view

• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: (a) I confirm that the access road between Orinie and Muserech measuring 1.8 kilometres is on private property, on private land. (b) My Ministry, therefore, has no plans to compensate the affected farmers since the road section in question was opened by those farmers for their own use. Therefore, it does not belong to the Ministry of Roads. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree, but they are not necessarily under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Roads. I pity the hon. Member. There is a loop under the control of the Ministry of Roads. That loop is three kilometres. The farmers abandoned that original loop and created a route for their own convenience. I want to assure this House that my Ministry has put aside Kshs700,000 to improve on the original loop. That view

• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: 2915 road will be more useful to more farmers than the shorter version which is only benefiting a few farmers. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I notice your concern. However, hon. Members are equally concerned with roads in their areas. I want to assure them that my Ministry will do everything possible within its financial limitations to upgrade roads in the whole Republic. I further urge them to properly budget money available to them in DRC and prioritise roads in their areas. Yes, for the specific section the Member of Parliament for Molo has mentioned; that is Kibunja Junction to Molo Town, I want to assure him and the House that my Ministry has allocated some money in the Budget to ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to indicate that I have a feeling that the hon. Member is misleading the House. He is a member of the DRC and that road was maintained by the DRC. I want to believe that maybe, he is talking of Kshs400,000 which could have been used to maintain that road. view
