• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House approves the National Industrialization Policy, Sessional Paper No.9 laid on the Table of the House today, 5th December, 2012. view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. With your permission, let me deal with the Mathioya issue first because that is where we stopped. We will then go back to the supplementary questions. view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Mathioya Industrial Development Centre (CIDC) was started in February, 2011. It is located on a three- acre land at Wanjohi Youth Polytechnic in Kiambuthia Centre. The construction of the CIDC was completed on 6th November, 2011 and handed over to the Ministry on 29th November, 2011 after issuance of certificate of completion by the Ministry of Public Works. The CIDC comprises of three sheds installed with three-phase electrical connection and a water tank. I have a beautiful photograph of the CIDC which I will lay on the Table. Relevant to that was the supplementary question to ... view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, going back to the Chepalungu CIDC, it is true that it would appear that this CIDC was started by the Ministry of Public Works and my Ministry together with an officer who is a CDF Fund Manager. They went ahead, adjudicated and awarded this tender to All Garden Building and General Contractors. It so happened that somebody called Mr. Rono--- view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that it would appear that a section of the Stimulus Package Management Committee (SPMC) deliberated on the Chepalungu CIDC and awarded the tender without the full participation of the Members. However, there was one, Michael Kones, who is the Fund Manager and Mr. Rono whom I understand is a Personal Assistant to hon. Ruto who were present at some of the meetings. At subsequent meetings after the contractor had died, the full Committee including the Member for the area met and tried to salvage the project by suggesting that it could be awarded to ... view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was following the status of this CIDC from yesterday afternoon and early this morning. Unfortunately, I did not get Mr. Rono because he was somewhere. He would have actually sent that picture to me because he is the one who has the details. Mr. Rono is the Personal Assistant to hon. Ruto. The information I have is that this project was at the lintel level and that a bit for the toilet had been dug. Although I have not looked at that picture, it looks like the project is almost halfway through the walling. I undertake ... view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: You are right, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was coming to the payment of Kshs618,000 which seems not to have passed through the constituency committee. Apparently, the Works Officer together with the CDF Manager sitting with one of my officers, the District Industrial Development Officer certified that the certificate was authentic. The payment was made on the strength of the signature of the Public Works Officer because they were the ones who were supervising the project. That is the information I have and the area Member is correct because there was no committee that sat. But subsequent to that, when the ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Funds for Chepalungu Constituency Industrial Development Centre (CIDC) were provided for in 2009/2010. The project started off very well. The contractor erected four rooms up to lintel level and a toilet pit was dug. At the time of demise of the contractor, a sum of Kshs618,597.80 had been paid. However, before a new contractor was engaged the funds were returned to Treasury. (b) My Ministry will complete the project along with other pending projects awaiting allocation of funds. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member for Chepalungu is sympathizing with me. However, there is no need for sympathy. All the CIDCs were under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Works since it is the technical Ministry that supervises the projects. After the award of the contract, the Ministry of Public Works took over, supervised, and issued certificates and payments were made. There was an officer from the Ministry of Public Works and another one who was from my Ministry, a District Industrial Development Officer, who were very closely monitoring the project. There is no dispute that work was done. ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. The centers are complete. There are 55 of them. view
