• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that the condition of the road section between Changamwe and Miritini in Mombasa has deteriorated and is impeding vehicle movements. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: (b) I am also aware that some sections of the road are too narrow as a result of tearing off of the road shoulders. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: (c) My Ministry, through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), has procured a contractor to carry out emergency maintenance of the road. During the repair of the carriageway, the shoulders will be reinstated to seven metres and the shoulders will be given 1.5 metre wide length. The contract details are Telewa Roads Construction Limited and the sum contract is Kshs341,180,000. The contract period is eight months. The contract has already commenced. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we expect the construction to be complete before August this year. But unfortunately, the rains have been going on and this has affected the progress of the work. However, we have not had a request for extension, therefore, I believe by August, it will be completed. We should be able to complete on schedule. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is, indeed, true that the ongoing rains have had a major impact on our roads. We will be carrying out a survey of the condition of the roads as soon as the rains are over. This is because even if we did a survey right now, the rains are still going on and we expect roads to get worse with time. We have requested our regional engineers at the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) to give us a status update as soon as the rains are over, so that we can request Treasury to give us ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you appreciate that is an entirely different question but we appreciate the need to expand that road, and more so, because it leads to the airport. We also know that when there is congestion, our visitors are not able to get to the airport in good time. Some of the traffic using that particular road is not actually headed for the airport. We are trying to come up with a by-pass. This is the city southern by-pass which is expected to be completed by 2015. We are also planning to do the connecting roads or the missing ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, primarily drainage would fall under a different Ministry, but we are only concerned about drainage to the extent that it affects the roads. I want to say that we have a serious challenge, especially here in Nairobi, sections of Eastleigh and other parts where we are unable to move from one place to another because of drainage. In the fullness of time, we may require a full design of this town because when it rains, we are unable to move. We are currently studying that and together with the City Council of Nairobi, we will be able ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Holo Bridge along the Kisii Road was damaged by the ongoing rains. I am also aware that the damaged bridge is posing danger to the road users and, therefore, my Ministry has closed that section and has diverted traffic. In addition, we made several warning announcements to the road users through the local media. (b) My Ministry, through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA), has procured a contractor for the reconstruction of the bridge at a contract sum of Kshs39 million. The contractor has already reported on ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to assure the hon. Member that the money allocated – which is Kshs39 million - will be able to do the work required. I just wish to quickly go through what will be done with the Kshs39 million. The crossing will comprise three lines of Amco steel culverts on the collapsed bridge. It will also include walkways on both sides to ensure that the pedestrians are accommodated. We will also ensure that it has a 12 meter long reinforcement concrete bridge to ensure that it is able to withstand traffic on that road. Lastly, ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are currently undertaking a survey across the country to assess the damage caused by rains. We are also looking at some of the bridges especially in areas where we have relief food. We have realized that in areas of Samburu and parts of Maralal, the relief food that is carried from Mombasa to that place is often overloaded. That is because the relief food is taken through areas where we do not have weighbridges. As a result, some of the bridges that were designed to carry only 20 tonnes now carry 60 tonnes or 70 ... view
