• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. My Ministry is currently undertaking the repair works on the Kisii-Migori- Isebania Road. The works involve site clearance, cleaning of the drainage, gravelling of shoulders and pothole patching. The contract commenced on 7th April 2009, and is due to end in October 2009. view
• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It would be inappropriate for me to say that we will erect bumps on all roads so as to reduce accidents. That is just one of the ways to reduce accidents. However, we will send our officers on the ground and get the view
• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to concur with the Member that indeed, this road is narrow. However, in view of the finances available at the moment, we have set aside Kshs55, 706,000 for the repairs. We are in the process of securing more funds in the future to make sure that the road is expanded to accommodate the heavy traffic, especially the sugar cane area and the people going to Tanzania. view
• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not correct to say that we are doing nothing. Indeed, one of the biggest causes of such accidents is lack of pedestrian paths where pedestrians can walk and leave the road. Most of the roads that we are constructing in Nairobi and most urban centres have footpaths which pedestrians or cyclists can use and, therefore, leave the roads for motorists. view
• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, I have also stated earlier on that we are expanding the shoulders of the roads so that the people who are walking or using bicycles will not use the actual roads. Indeed, we have done a lot. We will also construct foot bridges where they are required so that people can use them to cross over roads. We are also sensitising people on road use and safety. view
• 9 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have ensured that road markings are on all the roads that are currently being rehabilitated. However, because they are normally made of metal, which has become very precious, many Kenyans have a habit of picking and selling them as scrap metal, which has, of course, endangered many Kenyans. However, we will ensure at all times that we mark the roads when we rehabilitate them. view
• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 3 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as to the issue of members of the public issuing threats with regard to this particular land, it would be in the interests of the affected people to report the matter to the police, so that appropriate investigations can be carried out. In the meantime my Ministry will, in the next 60 days, do the necessary notices to the people concerned in this area and appropriate action will be taken thereafter. view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 2 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: The Tenges-Kabarnet Road is a Class “D” Road – that is Road D350. It, therefore, falls under the jurisdiction of the District Roads Committee (DRC), which should prioritise it for maintenance in its annual work plans. However, the road is currently undergoing maintenance from the 12 per cent Fuel Levy Fund (FLF). view
