• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The Mover has talked about some of the disadvantageous circumstances in those areas that cannot make the people of those areas to fairly compete with other Kenyans in the sharing of our national resources. Some of them are attributed to lack of quality education. When we talk about education, the kind of infrastructure that is in those arid and semi arid lands and other marginalised areas cannot really allow them compete with their counterparts in other regions of the country. There are schools which have shaky physical structures. There is no electricity and water in those areas. The ratio of ... view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Even quality educational institutions are not found in those areas. When we talk about private Fe bruary 11, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (a) It is the wish of the LBDA and, therefore, my Ministry, that the stalled project be completed to serve the purpose for which it was intended. We have requested the Ministry of Public Works to list this project under "stalled projects", so that it is revived and completed under the National Reconstruction Programme (NRP). view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The total amount of money spent on the project before it stalled was Kshs190,148,670. view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (c) The Ministry is sourcing funds to complete the LBDA Headquarters Complex, and has also requested the Ministry of Public Works to list it under the "stalled projects" that should be revived and completed under the NRP. view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that one of the ways to actually undertake development projects, especially in this region, is through these regional development authorities which are in the country. The problem they are facing is lack of finances, because they totally depend on money from the Treasury. If they are not allocated money from the Treasury, they have very little to do. If you look at this project, the negotiated contract sum in 1990 was Kshs396,650,283. So far, the Ministry through the Lake Basin Development Authority has only paid Kshs34 million and the total cost has actually ... view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with the hon. Member that this is a very important project not only for Kisumu Town, but also the region. The objectives of this project when it was initiated were very good. One of them was to put the staff of the regional development authority in one building as opposed to renting offices all over. That would have brought down the recurrent expenditure. It was also supposed to take Kisumu as a regional conference centre, being strategic in the region and the East African Community. Again, Kisumu was going to benefit from conference ... view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I do agree that the total sum of the project is very huge. The idea by the hon. Member that we should look beyond the public coffers and go to the private sector to out-source for the completion of this project is good and it would help a lot. view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only other payments that are pending--- I want to assure the hon. Member that we are not incurring any more costs other than the cost in the Treasury as part of the pending bill. We hope the Government will offset this pending bill to the tune of Kshs124 million, that is owed to the contractor for the job that had been done before the contract was stopped in 1993. view
