• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the Kilgoris-Nyanguso-Kisii Road is in a serious state of disrepair. (b) Arising out of "a" above, my Ministry has already awarded a contract for total rehabilitation of the road to M/s H. Young and Company Limited at a cost of Kshs1,873,743,671.81. The rehabilitation works have commenced and are expected to be completed by 28th June, 2009. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this road has been given priority in consideration of bananas and maize. It is quite a long road; it is 53 kilometres long and you can see that a large amount of money has been allocated towards this project. I am satisfied and confident that M/s H. Young who happens to be one of our best contractors will finish the road in exactly two years. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the first priority for a road contractor is to have a camp and have the resident engineer's premises and offices so that they can be able to finish with the preliminaries. At the moment, they have already started working. The engineer's office is about 80 per cent complete. Out of the total works, they have already done 1 per cent. This means that they are mobilised now and they have started working. The issue of the camp is history. They are already working. view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member started by saying that the Minister comes from that area. I do not come from that area. I come from Murang'a. Whatever works that will be done when this road is being constructed are contained in the tender document. If he cares to do so, he can check to find out exactly what is contained therein. When we are doing the construction, we 2766 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 25, 2007 make sure that all the shopping centres along the project are taken care of. We make sure that no marketplace is left in a dusty ... view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can confirm that it will be followed. This month, for the information of the hon. Member, our senior engineers, especially design engineers, have been undergoing a course mounted by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources so as to be in touch with what the environmentalists want when we are constructing roads. Most of our engineers have already undergone that course. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The tarmacking of Kapsoit Market-Sondu Road is complete. (b) Sondu-Kusa Road is under the jurisdiction of the District Roads Committee (DRD). The road should, therefore, be tarmacked once the respective DRC prioritises its tarmacking. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the section of the road which was tarmacked is complete and was done between 1997 and January 2002. From that time, after the completion of that section, nothing has been done up to date. The section, as I said, should be looked into by the DRC. If they think it is a priority, then they should actually minute it and send their minutes to the Ministry prioritising that section of the road. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question was whether that section of the road--- Those are two sections of the road under two classifications. One is a Class C road and the other is a Class D road. The question is whether the tarmacking is complete. I said that the completion of the tarmacking was in January, 2002. The award was in 1997. The question is not asking whether the road is full of potholes or not. It was asking about the completion of that section of the road. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know who discriminated against the area because the prioritisation was done long before this Government came to power. This was done during the period between 1997 to January 2002. So, whatever criteria was used, I do not 2054 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 27, 2007 know. Maybe the hon. Member might be knowing because they were in the Government at that time. The section that was done is classified as C25 and the section that was not done, for whatever reason I do not know, is classified as D218. Those are two different classifications ... view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that roads within Trans Nzoia District have not been repaired for the last ten years. (b) I beg to table a list of roads repaired in Trans Nzoia District for the last ten years, and the amount of money spent. view
