• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as a matter of fact, the question asked by my friend Hon. Millie regarding the roads that we supported in Mfangano Island through the emergency funding... Mfangano Island is one of the marginalised places with no single road and no access to the island. We thought it is one of the places that should have emergency support. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: The plans were done in the previous administration but were not supported. When I got into office, I had the choice to sign for allocation of those resources or to go back to the political cocoons of saying that the Member of Parliament for that area is from this political party and withdraw signing of those resources. Instead, being a public servant, I did what is right by making sure that Mfangano Island gets its rightful share. It is not Mfangano Island only. Hon. Millie knows that there are further resources supporting roads in Homa Bay County. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: I agree that the report which was a question from Hon. Omboko Milemba and Hon. Millie Odhiambo is that the information is with the Budget and Appropriations Committee where Hon. Millie sits but I do not want to say that. In fact, they passed that budget themselves. If the Budget Policy Office was to be asked today to bring it and print for every Member of Parliament, we would have it in this House. I would struggle more to get that report than yourselves but nevertheless, and since I respect the orders of this House and has been requested by ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: The Whip of the Majority Party has said that some roads in some places are ongoing under the RMLF. It is not allowed for RMLF to fully support development. What happens is that there is a process called ‘stage improvement’ that we try to support and sometimes it is for the roads that are worn out that are being maintained. It rarely happens that you start from zero using RMLF. There are cases like the one I said of Lamu where, because of outright marginalisation, we end up doing it. We want to make sure that those people and areas ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: On the question of Hon. Sarah Korere, it is true. I am very aware about the road from Churo-Mukie-Amaya-Tangulbei up to Chemalingot-Loruk requested by Hon. Sarah Korere and Hon. Kamket. This is a very strategic road. Between that road and the one that goes to Kapedo then Lokichar, we should ask our development partners to support us. If we do those two roads, we would have dealt a big blow to banditry and bandits in this Republic. I will be submitting this proposal to our development partners to try and support us in the same project that I have been ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: On the question of Dol Dol Road, it is true. We will do everything as I have explained to the Member elsewhere to see how we can support. Hon. Kiunjuri was also one of the Members who asked this question in my office earlier on. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: On the question of Kombere-Maseno Road, there was no deliberate decision to separate the people of Nyanza and western by doing only Kisumu and supporting the other side. It is just that the contractors stopped somewhere near the border to Emuhaya. As soon as we get the resources, it is part of the rubric of the roads we support. He will continue to complete the road to its logical end. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Regarding Wajir Constituency, I assure the Member that the contractors for most of the Horn of Africa projects have been identified and they are going to the site. For the remaining, one we re-advertise and the one that is about to be advertised, will change the north eastern parts of the country. Hon. Cynthia Muge has raised a very important issue as far as emergency funds are concerned. It is true that in one of the projects in her county, we supported through emergency funding particularly in a place where there is a Teachers Training College (TTC) and a Medical ... view
• 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
