• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true my neighbour Sen. (Prof.) Kamar has captured a problem that has affected the Nyaru-Iten Road. I have had this conversation with the leaders of Elgeyo/Marakwet County because this road really abandoned the issue of access. There is the problem of access. In some places, there is pending compensation like the hon. Senator has said about the neighboring Kaptagat that links Kaptarakwa to the Uasin Gishu side. Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, the contractor is still owed a huge amount of money from that road. We have had a conversation with the contractor and agreed that ... view

• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to appear before this august House to answer these Questions. Indeed, we have nine Questions but as it will appear later, I will demonstrate that the nine Questions have sub shot to three topics. Therefore, the rest of the issues that are related to pending roads can be collapsed and answered together. Hon. Speaker, on this particular Question allow me to appreciate Hon. Joyce Kamene for it. I want to note for the good of the House that indeed we have a challenge in the country when dealing with matters related ... view
• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: All new roads being constructed will have in place footbridges, cycling paths and footpaths. Under the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) already 300 kilometres of footpaths have been done. In the last five years, 12 footbridges have been built, eight of them being in Outering Road in Nairobi and others spread in identified locations across Nairobi City. There is a policy to ensure road furniture and road markings - road furniture are the signage and materials used to protect road users - are in good conditions and where traffic calming measures are used, they are compliant with the stipulated standards. ... view
• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is true that during public participation there was request for more than five footbridges but we are working within budgetary constraints. If I got the Member right, she is suggesting there was a request for a footbridge at KAPPA around Nation and Mlolongo area. The truth is that the footbridge in Katani is a few metres from where the Member is mentioning. Of course, it will be a bit of a walk from the exact position where she is saying, but in our consideration, it was important to start with the one at Katani Junction. You can ... view
• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg your indulgence. The Question by Hon. Abuor is similar to other six Questions which are asking one question: to explain why roads have stalled. In the interest of time, for the benefit of Members and for good order, allow me to address the question raised by Hon. John Njuguna, which is like the mother question in the sense that nine questions are asking why all roads have stalled. When I give the global picture… view
• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg your indulgence to start with Hon. John Njuguna Kawanjiku’s Question. Once I answer that, the rest of the Questions will fall into place in terms of the consequence. I had earlier on requested you to start with that Question. view
• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: It is like the mother Question is Hon. Njuguna’s Question. I will start with Question 10, and then I will come to the rest. The State Department of Roads, through its three implementing agencies, has an ongoing roads portfolio of over 800 projects with an outstanding cost of approximately Ksh763 billion as at 28th February 2023. I am putting an emphasis on Ksh763 billion and 28th February 2023 because with interest, the figure keeps changing as time goes. Out of this outstanding figure, an amount of Ksh150 billion is related to certified works. It is Ksh145 billion related to certified ... view
• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: pending bills amounting to Ksh35 billion is owing to matters related to land acquisition. The actions we are taking are as follows. In line with the Kenya Kwanza Manifesto, we have committed ourselves to complete all ongoing projects. We are negotiating with contractors. Within the last six months, we were able to secure some amount of money. Given the magnitude of pending bills, this amount was spread thin amongst service providers and contractors could not go back to the sites to resume works. Remember that this spreading thin is not as a result of a decision by the Ministry of ... view
