• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Training College (MTC). Things were problematic in Mosoriot. I will make sure that this is not going to happen in other parts of the country, that funds will not be disbursed marginally. What we did in Mosoriot is exactly what we did in Mfangano Island to support places. Particularly in Nandi County, when I realised that they had not had any new projects for many years, we had to support Mosoriot Township roads to make sure we address the issue of marginalisation. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: For avoidance of doubt, since this debate has been going on for long, on Nandi County roads that have stalled since 2014 which are in Tinderet, Mosop and Chesumei Constituency, we have re-advertised them. We thank the Attorney-General for cooperating with my office to allow us to re-advertise those roads so as to get a good contractor who is going to deliver. Some of the leaders from those areas have said they do not want some contractors from certain countries. My business is to make sure that we get a contractor that has the capacity to deliver roads for the ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Finally, on the Sultan Hamud Road, I am reliably informed that this is also one of those roads that have waited for far too long to get the support of the Government. Let me inform Hon. Kimilu that all the letters from Members of Parliament are marked to the relevant office of the Principal Secretary and we put all the requests on a dashboard to make sure we track and implement. The only problem is that I get about 200 to 300 letters. Sometimes, a Member of Parliament writes a letter and writes a reminder. Maybe the mistake on our ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: If you watch the news today or get information from the social media, the road that connects Lamu to Mombasa has been destroyed by the rains. We will continue assessing it. Eventually, we will sit down and look at what is in the emergency fund, and what we can come back to this House to try and allocate for restoration of our roads. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to come here. I know The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: there was a specific question sent to me regarding Mau Mau roads which fall within all these roads that are pending across the country. We do not discriminate on any road, be it Mau Mau or any other. We will support all these roads as soon as we get the resources. No part of the country has received more consideration than the other. Hon. Mukunji has been pushing me. We will make sure that we compensate those who need to be compensated. We will also check on some counties like Embu. Although neighbouring counties have Mau Mau roads, it is ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I seriously beg you, because this is a formal setting, if you can set aside a day for an informal set up to discuss the future of our roads with Hon. Members next year. The Ministry will be very grateful. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Jared is my friend. I ably prosecuted part of the question. Members have agreed that we need to sit together and conduct public participation on resources. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: On the question of floods, we will not distribute resources equally. It will be based on the damage because it is a restoration fund. The roads that will be affected most must receive the highest resources. As you can see now, the North Eastern part, parts of Nyanza, Upper and Lower Eastern and the Coast are the most affected in the country. We hope that we will not have the highest damage on our roads in the western part of the country in the next one month. As I have told you, we cannot carry the burdens that come with ... view
