• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if it does not pass through Kericho District, maybe, that is a mistake. But the road itself is not a mistake. The road exists and it is C22. Maybe, there is a mistake in placing it under Kericho. 2170 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 19, 2006 view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the fact of the matter is that roads are not like hospitals or schools. Roads traverse districts and constituencies. Sometimes, we do not know where to put the roads in the districts. They have to be put in a certain district. But where a road does not traverse a district and it is put there, that is a mistake which could be rectified. But the road, itself, wherever it is placed, is not a mistake. It will be constructed. view

• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member could care to listen to my answer, I said that the design work will be completed in March, next year! By March next year, we shall have gone through the Supplementary Estimates and if--- view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, we have been having a problem with the consulting engineer who is doing that design. If he pulls up his socks and finishes by March next year, we will be able to allocate more funds in the Supplementary Estimates. So, that is not the problem. He is now continuing with the design work and once he is through, we will commence the tendering process. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are designing that road to bitumen standards. There is no way we are going to put gravel on that road before we do the bitumenization. However, if the leaders in that area agree that they want the road to be gravelled, we will change the design and have it gravelled! view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the stakeholders in the roads sector who selected and prioritized the roads in Maragwa District to be improved under the Roads 2000 Programme held a seminar in July, 2005. (b) The implementation of the programme is set to commence this Financial Year, 2006/2007. Preparation for the programme was finalized in October, 2005 and was finally approved by the AFD Board in mid-January, 2006. The financing agreement was signed on 23rd May, 2006 while the procurement of the consultancy to assist in the implementation and supervision of the programme ... view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we held a consultative meeting with all the hon. Members from the three districts concerned. That issue was raised during the meeting and we agreed that, as soon as the representative of AFD is back in Kenya, because she was away in France, we will be able to get another consultative meeting with the AFD representative so that, that issue can be thrashed out. We will also find out the possibility of doing all gravel instead of gravel-patching. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am satisfied that the Roads 2000 Programme under the NARC Government is going to work unlike what was happening in the KANU Government. For the first time under the NARC Government, we are holding consultative meetings with hon. Members concerned. That never happened during the allocation of the previous funds to the Eastern Province. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, facts remain the same. Under the KANU Government, there was no consultative meeting between hon. Members for Roads 2000 Programme. Now it is happening. view
