• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The Ministry is planning to upgrade the road to bitumen standard. According to a consultancy design for this road that is to be completed in June, it will cost about Kshs16.5 million and the Ministry will immediately embark on financing of the programme. In the meantime, the Ministry will continue to carry out routine maintenance to ensure that the road is passable. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate that this, indeed, is an important road and that it passes through Iten to Kapsowar and goes through all the important districts like Marakwet District which is about 23 kilometres, I also wish to state that the Ministry recognises its importance. We have had a proposal from the District Roads Committee (DRC) to upgrade the road from Class "B" to Class "C" which also signifies the importance of the road. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: However, regarding previous pledges to do the road, we may not take responsibility at this particular time but I wish to assure the hon. Member that as soon as we get the consultancy report and the figures, then we will prioritise it. In the meantime, we have allocated Kshs1,056,000 for spot gravelling in the area to ensure that it is passable. So, my Ministry recognises the importance of this road. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to concur with the hon. Member that indeed there are times when we give undertakings in the House but because the Ministry does not do the actual construction and that we have to rely on contractors who act on a given contract, then sometimes there could be a variance between what we say and what is available. However, as a Ministry, we are doing everything possible to ensure that the contracts are done on time and within the specified contract period. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that, indeed, the road from Kenol to Murang'a, we had committed to do the work but there has been a delay. Nevertheless, we have actually issued instructions for the work to commence as soon as possible and through the Provincial Works Officer, I think it will be done within the next two weeks. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I may not be able to give a definite date because as I have said, we have a consultant who is already undertaking the design work and he expects that it will be done by June. However, as soon as that is done, I appreciate that we will prioritise that road and indeed, we recognise the role of the road in terms of development for the area. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Tenders for repair and resurfacing of Eldoret-Kapsabet-Chavakali Road C39, are being adjudicated and work will start in about two weeks. In order to enhance the speed of implementation, the work will be carried out in three simultaneous fronts as follows: Eldoret-Mutuot, Mutuot-Kapsabet and Kapsabet-Chavakali. The approximate cost of the repair work is estimated at Kshs1,085,192,175. A consultant has already been awarded a contract for the preliminary and detailed designs of the Eldoret-Kapsabet-Chavakali Road to enable the construction in the long term. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to repeat. The approximate cost of the repair work on the entire road is Kshs1,085,192,175. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you know we have had transition in the Ministry. We have a new Minister and we will soon be coming up with a programme on when we will be able to visit those roads. However, the Iten-Eldoret Road is under contract and is ongoing and the Chavakali Road contract will be awarded this week on Thursday. So we will come to see as soon as the work commences. Even Kitale Road is part of that schedule. view
