• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was Kabuito Contractors and S.S.S. Mehta, just to name two contractors who were working on that road. view
• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that those are the ones who were working. The hon. Member wanted to know whether there are some contractors who have been doing bad work. Those are contractors who are already doing other works for the Government. RETRENCHMENT OF STAFF BY KBC view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the Kiriani-Kiambuthia-Kairo Road which also serves Kiru Tea Factory was last gravelled in 2003 under the El-Nino Emergency Project. (b) The 10 kilometre road is classified as Class D. The road, therefore, falls under the District Roads Committee (DRC). In this regard, therefore, the DRC needs to prioritize it in its work-plan so that it is considered for design and improvement to bitumen standard. view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, due to the economic importance of the area that this road serves, it was found important to gravel it and make it an all-weather road. Whereas bitumen lasts longer than gravel, both of them serve the same purpose and roads become all-weather and vehicles do not get stuck anywhere throughout the year. view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have already realised that roads serving the high attitude agricultural area, especially the tea zones, cannot be managed by gravelling alone. However, since all the roads cannot be up graded to bitumen standards, we are up grading as many roads as possible to gravel standards to arrest the situation at the moment. The policy is that eventually we should bitumenise all the roads. view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, DRCs all over the Republic are making recommendations. The DDCs also make their recommendations. However, all the recommendations cannot be implemented because of the scarcity of funds. This also happened when Mr. Kamotho was a Minister in the former KANU Government. He can bear me witness that the recommendations of the DDCs were never actualised. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) A total of Kshs9,466,957,000 was collected during the financial year 2004/2005. A total of Kshs7,177,107 was disbursed to each constituency. (b) It is estimated that a total of Kshs9,300,000 will be collected this financial year. Each constituency has been allocated Kshs6.5 million. (c) This financial year, Kshs6.5 million has already been disbursed to all the constituencies. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in answering part "b" of the Question, I said that the amount of money that was sent to each constituency in the last financial year was about Kshs7.1 million. This financial year, we have not completed the collection, and the Kenya Revenue Authority has also not completed remittance of the amount of money. That is why we said that approximately, Kshs9.3 billion will be collected. So, once the Kenya Revenue Authority completes remittance of the money, the Kenya Roads Board will work out the actual entitlement for each constituency. The figure could be about Kshs7.2 million, ... view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kenya Roads Board has been pursuing that issue although it has not been concluded to date. However, although the DRCs are not autonomous and not acting independently, they are still functioning. Members of Parliament still participate in making decisions on the roads that should be graded or gravelled. view
• 28 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, Kshs6.5 million has already been disbursed to all the constituencies. What is left is the computation of the final figure by the Kenya Roads Board. Any balance will be remitted to the constituencies in the next financial year. view
