• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have indicated that the KERRA is undertaking an urgent assessment of the roads. I may not be able to give definite dates as to when that will be done, but “urgent” means it is already going on. As soon as that exercise is completed, we will prioritise it. view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: I also wish to draw the hon. Member’s attention to the fact that, that section of the road has worsened because of the Elgeyo Marakwet Forest. Loggers have been using that road to escape the Eldoret Weigh Bridge. That has made the state of that road very bad. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: (a) A feasibility study carried out between 1989 and 1994 by a consultant commissioned by the Government noted that the construction of a bridge across Kilindini Harbour would have huge cost implications in view of the logistical challenges of providing adequate clearance for the passage of ships. In addition, the approach road would extend deep into the town. Accordingly, a bypass to the Likoni Ferry was considered more viable. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The Government is carrying out a detailed design for the construction of a bypass to Likoni from Miritini on the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway through the old explosive jetty to Tsunza Peninsula over water to Bombo and connecting the proposed Dongo Kundu Port and Likoni-Ukunda Road (A14) near Ng’ombeni. Another link will be constructed to connect the new road to the new Kipevu terminal built by the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). The project design is expected to be completed in May 2010, and thereafter my Ministry will source funding for the implementation of the project. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under “a”, the question is about what feasibility studies have been carried out. It did not specifically ask for the feasibility report, as the hon. Member is saying. However, more importantly, I want to say that the consultants who did the work clearly indicated that they had identified specific challenges; indeed they had even looked at the possibility of having a tunnel. You will realize that the tunnel would not be feasible because of the unreliable source of power, which is very necessary if you are doing a tunnel. Then there is the issue of disaster ... view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I undertake to Table the Report. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the question. Clearly, the mandate of the Ministry of Roads does not include the management of ferries and other forms of transport. Previously, the Ministry of Roads and Transport used to be one Ministry. Then, it would have applied, but now our mandate starts and ends with roads and bridges. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I may not be able to talk authoritatively about feasibility studies outside my Ministry. However, in 1989 and 1994, a feasibility study was done specifically on this particular bridge. But what we are currently doing is not a feasibility study, it is the design for the bypass to be able to take care of the problem that you have already indicated, and that will be completed by May, 2010, upon which we will be able now to provide funding to be able to ease the congestion view
