• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: This phase of road construction which covers a distance of 17 kilometres was originally scheduled for completion by the end of October, 2009. However, due to the anticipated rains in the month of October, though we are not sure, the tarmacking of this section is expected to be completed by December. That is in case we experience the El- Nino rains we are anticipating. view

• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I can table it. So, that money totals to Kshs694,335,198. The balance of the money that has not been utilised is Kshs205,664,802 and this money is there. Commitments on the following services were made, but owing to the exchequer issues the same had not been cleared by the closure of the last financial year. The other details I can table them and Members can see. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: (c) The contract period for the construction of the road is 36 months or three years meaning that the contractor which is NYS is within the schedule. The apparent delay in view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm to this House that we are not using this road for training. I also want to say that the Ministry of Roads is providing professional advice through their engineers on the construction of this road. I toured this road together with the Minister for Roads who was then hon. Chris Obure. I agree that it has taken very long, but I want to say that before this money was allocated during the last financial year, the project had stalled because there was no proper arrangement. I appreciate that there are challenges, but ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have not implied that we are doing survey. I read out here as my response to part “a” of the Question that 16 kilometres has been surveyed. The construction work on this road has been ongoing. The hon. Member can be fair to me and inform the House that works on this road has been going on. It is not that we have gone to do survey now. Of course, this a road that has been done as the hon. Member has said for almost 20 years. I have said that the road ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not true. The hon. Member knows that even a Chinese private company was involved in doing this road. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I want to assure the hon. Member that, really, the National Youth Service (NYS) did not have enough equipment. But now that we are going to get equipment as early as next month or towards the end of this year, we will be able to complete this road within the specified time of 36 months. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we are all committed in this country to help the young people to participate--- I am not saying that we are using the road as a practice area or a learning area. We would like the NYS to have ... view

• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the contract that we are talking about now really was not awarded 20 years ago. We are saying that this road has been done for 20 years; but not by the NYS, as far as I am concerned. I am new in the Ministry but I do not think that, really, it has taken 20 years. I think they are talking about the whole road that extends all the way to Malindi. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the equipment, I want to say that when I was asked to table this answer, ... view
