• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with Mr. J. Nyagah. He is the one who can tells this House why it never worked when he was a Minister then. However, I can assure him that now it is going to work. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are various development partners who are financing Roads 2000 Programme. This particular programme is financed by the AFD. We have other development partners financing the Roads 2000 Programme projects in the Rift Valley and Nyanza provinces. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that we are going to hold another consultative meeting with the donor and those sentiments will be raised by the hon. Members so that the AFD can decide whether to change what is contained in the loan agreement or not. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could I request Mr. Biwott to speak a bit louder, so that our officials could hear and take notes? view
• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) A total of Kshs26,369,120 has been spent to repair the 13.5-kilometre dual carriageway stretch of Mombasa Road between the diversion--- view
• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) A total of Kshs26,369,120 has been spent to repair the 13.5-kilometre dual carriageway stretch of Mombasa Road between the diversion to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Nyayo Stadium. (b) The Government of the People's Republic of China has given a grant of Kshs1.5 billion to the Kenya Government for improvement of the road from the JKIA to the United Nations Environmental Programmes (UNEP) Headquarters in Gigiri. China Road and Bridge Corporation has been commissioned to carry out the works which will include construction of an additional lane on each carriageway ... view
• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that one feels uncomfortable when travelling along the repaired section of Mombasa Road. However, those sections required repairs. Unfortunately when the repairs were done, it was not possible to make them smooth. That is why there is discomfort. However, it is far much better than when the road had potholes. With the Kshs1.5 billion grant from the People's Republic of China, the Government will add another lane from the JKIA to Nyayo Stadium so that we can have three lanes on either carriageway. There will be an overlay on Uhuru Highway to end the ... view
• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a programme to ensure there is easy access to the JKIA. The money we will use to upgrade the road from the JKIA to the UNEP Headquarters in Gigiri falls under that programme. The other programme the Ministry is implementing, which hon. Members will witness soon, is the building of an over-pass from Bunyala roundabout to Westlands. This means that the people who will be travelling from Mombasa or the JKIA will not be held along Uhuru Highway. The Southern by-pass will also be constructed. The same concessionaire will charge toll fee from the ... view
• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this one will start latest, in mid-September. The addition of the extra lane between the airport and Nyayo Stadium will take up to December. The rest of the works will be from Nyayo Stadium through Museum Hill to UNEP where we will have expansion of the carriageway to about seven metres. The design is underway. Unfortunately, the design is being done in China and we have to send our comments once it is done and that will take a bit longer than we had stated. view
• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these were local contractors who did the work. It is only that it is uncomfortable to drive along those sections. Otherwise, the work was done properly and that is why, unlike before, where you could see patches being done and they would wear off after about a month or two, those patches are permanent. They will not wear off. It is only that it is uncomfortable to drive on that road, but the work was done to the best standard. view
