• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Ministry, through the KeRRA, upgraded to bitumen standards a section of the Lwakhakha-Chwele-Kimilili-Kamukuywa road, namely the Lwakhakha- Korosiondet-Tulienge-Sirisia-Namwela-Chwele road (C815) as part of the Low Volume Seal Roads (LVSR) Programme. If the Senator was to go even further in his Question, he will notice that the Road is wearing out. It is one of the LVSR I was talking about, the Low Volume Seal Roads. The 30-kilometre section, which is under the KeRRA was completed in 2019 providing access to the Lwakhakha border point, thereby offering an alternative route to Uganda. The completion of ... view

The land acquisition process ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I share the same concerns with the hon. Senator and Deputy Speaker. If there is any interest, then for his record, it is Kshs6 billion in the KeRRA), Kshs4 billion in the KeNHA and Kshs19 million in the KURA. That is interest only. There is something else to be added – claims. We cannot define them at the moment because a contractor will claim that machines are on site and they need more mobilisation money to go there or that the fuel prices have changed as well. Mr. Speaker, Sir, protracted pending bills like the ones we ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: I wish I brought this example here of one contractor who by going to court, we had paid eight-point-something billion over a bill of Kshs9 billion. The balance was about Kshs300 million, but he was awarded by the court, another extra Kshs 3 billion. I then ask myself when a judge is sitting there and awarding an extra Kshs3 billion, where does that judge think the money will come from and how are we going to build the roads? Mr. Speaker, Sir, there must be legislative guidance and it is incumbent upon the Ministry to provide this. Secondly, we should ... view
