20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I confirm that the Minister, Mr. Bett, visited this area and it was good that when we went with him we got stuck because the road was very bad. The reason this road is so bad is because it has been neglected; it has not been tarmacked and the story has been that we are approaching donors. That was seven months ago. Have they not got a firm commitment so that he can tell me when this road will be tarmacked?

20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me say that I am very disappointed with the Assistant Minister because he knows very well that the Kshs20 million he has given is only for a section of the road. This road is over 140 kilometers. If you maintain a road halfway, that road still remains impassable. So could the Assistant Minister look for more funds to do repair works for this road in the meantime as he looks for donor funding for tarmacking? My Question was covering other roads in Kitui County. We have the road from Kitui to Tana River which ...

20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I am in that committee and I am the Vice-Chairman but you will agree with me that the Ministry of Roads has been given a lot of money, next to the Ministry of Education. So, if he had his priorities right, he would have this road funded. So, the Assistant Minister is not in order to give that one as an excuse. He should give us the right answer.

7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the main issue I had with the Ministry was when the project would be completed, as a matter of urgency. Does the Ministry have funds and time-frame for completion of this particular project?

7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am really worried because the Assistant Minister has said that the project has been done up to the slab level. At the same time he has said that, that is 45 per cent of the project which, of course, is very doubtful. Could the Assistant Minister assure me that he will provide enough funds? If he does the advertisement for the 55 per cent then, of course, that will not complete the project. Could he assure me that the project will be done to completion and speedily?

31 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that, indeed, the project had actually stopped and as a follow up, I visited the Ministry and as the Assistant Minister has said, we consulted with the Permanent Secretary and the Director of Aquaculture and we agreed on the mode of reviving this programme and I am satisfied. However, could the Assistant Minister ensure that what we discussed about reviving the project takes place as soon as possible?
