• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, quite clearly that is a different Question. We have all the records, from 1970, of all the land that was acquired by the Government for the purposes of expansion of the bypass. This will be availed at the appropriate time. Members of the public can access this information at the Ministry of Roads Headquarters. view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The design used for contracting out these works was carried out between 2006 and 2007. (b) China Roads and Bridges Construction Company has carried out major works in Kenya for the last 20 years and was selected due to their previous record of work in Kenya. The Nairobi eastern and northern bypass project is an engineer-procure and contract project, what we call a turnkey project financed by the Chinese Government who appointed the China Roads and Bridges Construction Company as the contractor, in consultation with the Government of Kenya, in line with ... view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what the hon. Member is asking are the terms of contract and under what circumstances we were able to take up the loan. But that is an entirely different Question. The Question sought to find out why the Kenya Government gave the China Roads and Bridges Construction Company the contract, which I have clearly answered. Nevertheless, the terms of the loan are available at the Ministry. They can be made available on request. However, under the Public Procurement Act passed in this House, whenever we have a concessional loan, the interest of the country that is giving ... view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, about 70 per cent of the funds for doing this bypass is coming from the Chinese Government. One of the conditions set out is that the company that would undertake this particular project would be a Chinese company. In this case, the Chinese company, in consultation with the Government of Kenya, arrived at the China Roads and Bridges Construction Company. This was one of the key conditions given by the financier that the China Roads and Bridges Construction Company should be contracted for the loan to be given to Kenya. It is given at very extraordinary terms, ... view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not so sure I have understood the question, but if I may answer, it is not the first such project that we have undertaken. The project from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Gigiri is one such project that we have undertaken under very similar terms. I want to assure the hon. Member that this is exactly as is stipulated in the Public Procurement and Ethics Bill. view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to clearly state that the bypass project is not a World Bank project. When China Roads and Bridges Construction Company was blacklisted in another foreign country, Kenya was not party to that contract. Therefore, the terms of the contract in this particular case included the Kenya Government, the China Government and the China Roads and Bridges Construction Company. We are not interested parties in the contracts--- view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is important that we clearly distinguish contracts awarded by the Ministry which are not subject to the World Bank procedures. The issue in question is about China Roads and Bridges Construction Company in another foreign country. They are incorporated here in Kenya and therefore, the troubles out there cannot be extended to the situation here in Kenya. I want to assure Members that China Roads and Bridges Company has undertaken major projects including the Construction of Mombasa – Nairobi Road and the Gigiri – JKIA project, many of which have been very successful projects. view
