• 17 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The Ministry of Transport has no plans to rehabilitate the Habaswein Airstrip at its present site because of the fine sandy soil of its ground. It is proposed that the local county council identifies another site where a new airstrip can be constructed. view
• 17 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as I am concerned, the council must have been notified because the technical analysis indicated that the sand at the airstrip cannot sustain the reconstruction of the airstrip. view
• 17 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry has set up a team to re-evaluate all the airstrips in the country so that after the long rains, the Ministry will start rehabilitating them. view
• 17 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the result of a technical analysis that was done by a team that deals with airstrips. It would be difficult for us to argue on that matter. Maybe, then it was okay, and maybe, now it is not. view
• 17 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Question was whether the Ministry has plans to rehabilitate the airstrip.

(b) The number of vessels that delayed berthing because of the breakdown of the pilot boats was six. (c) The Government did not lose any revenue as a result of the delay because the pilot services were provided by patrol boats. (d) The Kenya Ports Authority has ordered a new set of generators to replace the faulty ones on the ... view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concern of the hon. Member. It is true that the Government is not supposed to lose revenue. It is also important that the ships that come into this country are given priority and do not delay in berthing. But, sometimes, there are some things that you call “acts of God”. That was a one-off case where two of the boats developed serious mechanical problems and, actually, the engine of one of them was overhauled. But I can confirm to this House that the Kenya Ports Authority has floated a tender to buy new mooring ... view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I only beg to differ a little bit with the hon. Member. An engine of a boat can be rebuilt and it is serviceable.
