• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that the Assistant Minister has promised to take action on that particular road, could he also promise to open a number of roads along the beach in my constituency? view

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it appears to me that most of the candidates or the people who were employed came from a particular area of the country. I have looked through the list and I have seen that there is only one candidate from the whole of Coast Province. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether this is the policy of the Government to marginalize certain areas of this country? view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House by saying that the road from Nairobi to Mazeras is in good condition when he knows very well that the good road ends at Bachuma, and not at Mazeras? view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank Mr. Kimeto for bring this very important Motion. A lot has been said about roads and airstrips. But very little has been said about ferry transportation. I would like to dwell on that for the few minutes that I have been given. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, only a few years ago, we had a very serious accident at Mtongwe. It was as a result of the poor serviceability of the equipment being used. Today, the ferry operating on Likoni Channel is a disaster in waiting. I appeal to the Government ... view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Lands the following Question by Private Notice:- (a) Is the Minister aware that a golf course and hotel facilities are being developed at April 25, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 625 Mango Farm at Vipingo in Bahari? (b) Could he assure the House that no squatters will be displaced in the neighbouring villages as a result of the project? view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am really surprised that the Minister is not aware of this project, which is being implemented on land formerly belonging to Vipingo Estates, and whose authority must have been obtained from the Ministry. Is he saying that he is not aware of the transfer of the ownership from Vipingo Estates to a company called Sunsail Limited? view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the construction of the wall of this project has already begun. My worry is that the local people in that area are already concerned that their dwellings may be interfered with. Could the Minister assure this House that, now that he knows that this project is going on, he will ensure that those squatters are not displaced from that area? view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Roads and Public Works the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister confirm that the Government has received graders, tippers, loaders and other vehicles for road construction work in districts around the country? (b) Which districts are to benefit from the equipment? view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I find it very strange indeed that this Government could again establish 16 regional centres with no actual basis for that. However, since the Assistant Minister has said that he has 216 pieces of road maintenance and construction equipment could he possibly list those items and tell us exactly what kind of equipment is being brought into this country from Korea? view
