• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: (ii) The KRA is also taking services closer to the people to reduce the cost of compliance as is the case with the current roll out of number plate issuance process to Nakuru and Kisumu. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as I understand, it should be clear that if any delay in clearing a motor vehicle is necessitated by the lack of a number plate, then the department or the Ministry concerned should be held responsible. In this case, the KRA should be responsible for any delay in case the number plates are not available when they are required. Secondly, there is no Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. The law is very clear. There is a Registrar of Motor Vehicles who is appointed by the Minister for Transport under Section 3 of the Traffic Act. ... view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kiringoti is the appointed Registrar of Motor Vehicles under Section 3 of the Traffic Act. It will be unfortunate if, at the same time, he is a Commissioner appointed under the Kenya Revenue Authority Act. That will be a contradiction and no person should hold two substantive offices at the same time. Secondly, it is clear that number plates are security documents. Currently, they are manufactured by the Prisons Department. However, the Ministry is in the process of trying to source for people who can manufacture the number plates outside the prison. view
• 20 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that if a vehicle does not leave the port because of lack of a number plate, KRA should be held responsible. So, any demurrage that would accrue, that should not be a problem. Secondly, the Registrar of Motor Vehicles is appointed under the Traffic Act. Mr. Kiringoti is the person appointed by the Minister for Transport as the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, if there is any, would be appointed by the Minister for Finance and not under the Ministry of Transport. Thirdly, if the log books issued by ... view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Government last allocated funds to Macalder Airstrip in Nyatike during the 2005/2006 financial year. The cost of work was Kshs1.3 million and the scope of works included bush clearing, runway repair and fencing with timber poles and barbed wire. The airstrip is currently unserviceable. (b) The airstrip will be considered among other airstrips during the rehabilitation programme. The Government has embarked on an exercise to rehabilitate the provincial headquarters’ airstrips before cascading to the districts’ airstrips and others that are utilized for tourism, security, communication and other purposes. Currently, 146 ... view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: funding; this particular year the Ministry has received sufficient funding to rehabilitate the airstrips. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the residents of Mbukani and Masamukye Sub-location of Nguu Settlement Scheme have no direct access to their farms as a result of lack of low level railway crossing between Simba Railway Station and Kiboko Railway Station. (b) The hon. Member wrote to the Kenya Railways Corporation on 25th February, 2010 requesting, on behalf of the residents, to be allowed to establish the low level crossing and an approval was granted on 5th March, 2010 subject to the following conditions:- (i) submission to Rift Valley Railways of a copy ... view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unfortunately for the hon. Member, the railway has already been concessioned to the Rift Valley Railways Kenya Limited and the concessionaire, who is the Rift Valley Railways, is the one who is responsible for the railway infrastructure development. Therefore, they are responsible and not the Ministry. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government cannot in any way interfere with the concession after the concessionaire was granted a 25 year concession to manage the railways. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already consulted with Mr. Anyanga and he seems not satisfied with the answer that he has been given and we have agreed to defer the Question until Thursday, next week. view
