• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister. He has acknowledged the importance of this road which serves a major tea producing area. Tea earns this country a lot of foreign exchange. What criteria does the Ministry use in deciding which roads should be tarmacked and which ones should be gravelled? view
• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Roads and Public Works does not put into consideration the economic importance of roads in this country. The other day, the Government announced that the economy has grown by 5.8 per cent. However, that growth is not reflected in the lives of the rural ordinary Kenyans. Could the Ministry focus more on areas of high economic activities, so that the economic gains are felt at the ground level? view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) whether he is aware that Murang'a-Gitugi Road (D427) was designed to bitumen standard in the early 1980s and a contract worth Kshs99,410,842 awarded to Firoze Construction Company Ltd. on 4 April, 1988 for a period of 18 months but was abandoned on 19th August, 1991 after undertaking only the earthworks and installation of culverts; (b) whether he is further aware that after the contactor abandoned the road, the Ministry started tarmacking it, but abandoned the project after only three kilometres; (c) how much money was paid to the contractor and how ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised by what the Assistant Minister is telling us because the road was earmarked and designed for construction almost 20 years ago. The Assistant Minister agrees with that. However, currently, the road the Assistant Minister is referring to as Saint Mary-Nyakahura Road is a diversion of that road which is categorised as an "E" class, E358. Could the Assistant Minister tell us the rationale of diverting the construction of Murang'a-Gitugi Road, D427 to construct a lower class road which has not even been recommended by the DDC or DRC? Is that being done because of ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister aware of the answer they gave to this House in November, 2003 regarding the same road? At that time, they said that they were allocating Kshs30 million for the redesigning of that road. How can he then tell us now that they have allocated Kshs10 million to design the same road? view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am shocked to hear the Assistant Minister say that, that road is not a diversion. If he has not been there, I am ready to take him there tomorrow. The road he is talking about, that is E538, is a diversion from Murang'a-Gitugi Road, D427. So, what he is talking about is something that has been cooked. I do not even think that they have read the District Development Committee's (DDC's) minutes or those of the District Roads Committee (DRC) to see the recommendations that were made. view

• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering the fact that there are over 4,000 secondary schools in this country, and that quite a large number of young people mature at the end of their final year in secondary school, could the Assistant Minister consider making available application forms to every secondary school in the country, so that those who mature while in school can apply for their identity cards? view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my Question, together with the reply from the Office of the President, was discussed on the Floor of the House on 4th April, 2006. I had put the Question to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first, but it was treated as a "hot potato". It was moved from one Ministry to another. It moved from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Minister of State for Administration and National Security, and then to the Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs. Finally, the Minister of State for Administration and National Security gave an ... view
