19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no contract that can go on when the Resident Engineer is not there. He is the one who certifies all the payments. So, to say that our Resident Engineer has never been there is incorrect.

7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry has put in place the following measures to ensure that all county roads are kept to motorable standard:- (i) We have established a dedicated Constituencies Roads Fund which draws its money from the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund and I think every constituency already has that. (ii) We have also established three roads authorities to own and be responsible for the planning, construction and maintenance of all roads in the county on behalf of the Government and to implement the same in a businesslike manner. (iii) We have also ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the Hola-Garsen Road, I have already indicated that it is being constructed by the NYS and the completion date is 30th November, 2012. As for the bridge, as requested by the hon. Member, we are in the process of getting Bills of Quantities and we should be able to procure that as soon as possible because it is within our programme. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that indeed it is true that the last time we visited this section of the road, those concerns were raised and we are already in consultations with Treasury to ensure that the progress on this road is not hampered by lack of funds. I am confident that he will not be disappointed. So, we are already in discussions with Treasury to ensure the continuity of this project.

7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, our allocation of funds is not on a proper county basis. We have specific projects like what we call the Northern Corridor which would basically mean from Mombasa all the way to Busia and that is seen as one project. The LAPSSET is one such project and the Government has identified and prioritized these projects. I want to assure the hon. Member that the entire section from Lamu to the end of the country connecting to South Sudan and Ethiopia will be looked into. If you look at sections of Marsabit, we have actually started the construction ...

7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, those are two questions in one but nevertheless, I wish to answer and I want to start with the one on Hola-Garsen Road. I want to assure the hon. Member that indeed we will complete it in good time despite the slash and also to indicate that from the section that we call the Malindi to Kikoneni, that is the end of the tarmac section of B8, we have already awarded a contract of Kshs58 million and the contractor is already on site. As to the question of whether we prioritise roads that are in areas that ...

7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that ruling. I want to appreciate the point of order raised by Dr. Nuh because indeed, a lot of times we go out there in the constituency and find a matter that has been burning in the village and they have tried to get a solution without success. Finally, that Question comes through one of the Members. Therefore, I appreciate that when Questions come here, they are indeed very important. But it is also important to remember that it is not once that we have come here to answer Questions and the Members were ...

7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, I believe it is important that we do not generalize all the Ministries or all the Ministers. Indeed, the Executive consists of those who are probably performing and those who are not. The few cases of the Ministry of Education and the others should not be generalized. The Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security landed this morning and he was here to answer all the Questions. Therefore, if the Members have any question, it should be specific to a Ministry and not generalized to the whole Executive. Problems should be addressed ...
