• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that there have been several attempts to have the road tarmacked previously but I may not be able to give the exact figures because the Question did not entail that. I want to assure the hon. Member that we are committed to ensuring that the road is done because it connects Nakuru to Narok which is part of the tourism circuit. The Ministry has started work from Elementaita and we shall ensure that it is completed this Financial Year. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to once again repeat that we are committed to ensuring that the road is done and we are not evading the Question regarding how much money has been used. It is only that the Question did not specifically ask for that. If the hon. Member feels that it is important to get that information, then we will endeavor to ensure that it is done. view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The Maili Saba-Nzoia Water Supply Road (E328) was improved under the Roads 2000 Programme, jointly funded by the Government of Kenya and the ADB. The project implementation under the programme makes use of labour-based method where applicable in order to create jobs for the youth. Since gravelling was done using manual labor, the resulting riding surface was not even. However, increased use of the road by vehicle traffic is expected to enhance compaction and improve the road surface. Nevertheless, our technical officers are monitoring the situation in order to make necessary intervention ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the Roads 2000 Programme, we have different consultants. In this particular case, we had Deep Africa Consulting Engineers who were procured by the Government of Kenya to supervise the works. view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that the road was done to standards that do not meet the expectations of the Member and the general public. However, we are doing everything possible by using private consultants. Previously, when we were using some of the Government consultants, the reports they gave were particularly not impressive. So, we have resorted to using private consultants to ensure that we get supervision or monitoring that will make sure that the money is used well. Given that part of the money is from the ADB and some from other donors, then it is necessary ... view

• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have given the contractor the order to commence and there are preparatory works required, including making sure that the quarry is there and mobilizing the equipment. I think that is the stage we are in right now. I am confident, and I want to assure the hon. Member that in the next three or four weeks, the contractor will be on site and work will have commenced. view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that we keep monitoring our roads so that we do not incur so much expenses in reconstructing them as it is the case with the Nyeri-Nyahururu Road. However, due to financial constraints, we cannot always do that. However, my Ministry is in the process of ensuring that through the newly created Boards of the Kenya National Highways Authority and the Rural Roads Authority, these roads are clearly demarcated and responsibilities are allocated to those specific authorities for maintenance. However, with regard to this road, the massive deterioration has come about because of the ... view
