• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have already allocated some funds under the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) funding for some sections of this road to be done in the next Financial Year. The section between Kambi ya Moto and Marigat is in a very good condition. The section between Kambi ya Moto and Nakuru has deteriorated because most of the vehicles have diverted to this route. This is where the bulk of the deterioration of the road has taken place. From Kambi ya Moto to Marigat, the road is fairly in good condition. So, in the next Financial Year, we will ... view

• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the contractor has so far submitted the performance bond to the Ministry and the Ministry has already appointed a resident engineer. So, the contractor is now mobilising, and I am sure within a month's time, construction work will start. The construction is scheduled to be finished by October next year. view
• 29 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have done a lot of improvement in supervising the works. One of the measures we have put in place is to ease the over-loading of the Ministry's engineers in the supervision of contractual works. Currently, we have engaged consulting engineers from the private sector to supervise contractual works. As for the blacklisted contractors, the hon. Member is a lawyer and he knows that even when the Law Society of Kenya blacklists lawyers, eventually, they apply for reinstatement and they are reinstated. So, even the contractors who were blacklisted sometime ago, have been cleared to ... view

The repairs have been prioritized for routine maintenance in the next financial year, under the constituency's 16 per cent of the Road Maintenance Fuel Levy Fund. (c) The road will be considered for improvement to bitumen standards when it is ... view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the road suffered a lot of damage when there were heavy rains from November last year to January this year. We have not been able to get extra funds from the Treasury to cope with the damage that was caused by the floods in December last year and early this year. It is not that we do not know the condition of the road. It is because, at the moment, we do not have money to inject into that road. view
