• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: December 10, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3985 (c) I wish to inform the House that the Ministry of Regional Development Authorities has put the LBDA under a performance contract, in which these programmes, projects and activities form part and parcel of the performance targets that the Board and management of the Authority are expected to implement within the stipulated timeframe. In addition, the Ministry has put in place a monitoring and evaluation system that will carry out regular progress status review of the projects for effective and timely implementation. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, of course, it has and that is why it exists. I have just tabled a list of many projects which have been undertaken in Nyakach for a long time. If we get support from the hon. Members to get more money from the Treasury, then we can do more projects. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is unfortunate that the people who managed these authorities before, really mismanaged them. We have come up with projects in almost every region. We are now soliciting for funds so that we can revive most of these authorities. I am sure that with assistance from the Government, by next year, there will be more projects in most parts of this country. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are in the process of doing so. As you know, it is not only the LBDA which was mismanaged, but many authorities were mismanaged before. I am sure that if we go through this process, thousands of people will be taken to court. With regard to this particular Question, we are trying to follow up whatever happened in this particular Authority. If we manage to get any culprit, we shall take action. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, while answering a similar question earlier on, I said that we now have projects which are supposed to be implemented by the LBDA. I have identified a number of projects. We are now looking for investors, to be assisted by the Government of Kenya, so that we implement most of these projects, maybe, by the next financial year. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will be visiting Nyakach early in January, because everybody is now going for Christmas. I will visit that particular project and make sure that we get funds, so that it can be implemented immediately. view
• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to speak on this matter. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya is in a very bad state at the moment. This year has been a very bad year. Crop production has not been as good as it was expected. It was very early in the year when we started having a shortage of maize. By this time, we would be having a lot of maize and there would be no problem at all. But I am surprised that when we have a problem at this time ... view

• 6 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to issue a Ministerial Statement requested by hon. Were, the Member for Matungu. First, the Tana Delta Sugar Project is an initiative of the Tana and Athi River Development Authority (TARDA), a body corporate created by an Act of Parliament in 1974.
