• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: I thank some banks that, as a result of our interventions, they have been kind to contractors because a number of them could easily have lost their properties through auctions.

• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have not answered the Question. It would be good for good record to proceed and respond to the Question by the Hon. Member.

• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if you allow me, I will start with the question asked by Hon. Cynthia Muge about what we are doing concerning the roads. This will help in answering all the questions that have been asked. As I had already said, I think I should table the list officially in the House. Once I do that, in the subsequent conversations in the near future, Members will have a reference point of all the contracts in the entire 800 projects. From there, if Hon. Members want to consult with the agency or the Ministry, we are available. Two, I have ... view

• 19 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: I will gladly wind up, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The boda boda motor cycles should not be used on highways. We are not supposed to see them on Kitale-Bungoma Road or Kitale-Eldoret Road, but they are there. We must work with the reality that they are there. We are working on a mechanism of regulation. In the statements I made earlier, you notice I did not focus on the boda boda . I will be coming back with boda boda regulations as a result of the same issue. On the road Hon.
