• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Budget Estimates given this year. Maybe, before I start, I would like to pay tribute to Kenyans who, for the first time, during a very troubled year, have been able to get enough funds to finance our Budget. In connection to that, it is worth noting that about 87 per cent of our Budget will now be financed through local funds that will be accessed through our taxes. So, I wish to recognize and, indeed, congratulate Kenyans who, through their hard work, have been able to contribute and ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, First of all, I would like to apologise to the hon. Member for not having received a written answer. There are copies which have already been sent to him and I will also give him a copy as soon as I have answered the Question. I beg to reply. My Ministry is aware that sections of the Nyeri-Nyahururu Highway require repair and, indeed, work is already being carried out there. Repair works will continue during the next financial year, including resurfacing of some sections using the Fuel Levy road maintenance funds. There is a provision of Kshs100 ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to repeat that my Ministry has allocated Kshs100 million from the Fuel Levy budget, specifically for this section of the road. We do recognise that Kshs100 million may not be sufficient to do the road. However, in view of the many years of under-allocation of funds to the road sector, it may not be possible to do everything. So, the Kshs100 million represents what we will allocate under the Fuel Levy budget for the next financial year. I mentioned that the rains might have contributed significantly to the deterioration of that section of the ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, we recognise that our roads need urgent repairs. However, the availability of funds stands out as the biggest obstacle towards achieving this. In order to do the necessary repairs, it is necessary that the Ministry does the repairs before the damage has gone to a high extent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, The Ministry is currently focusing on roads which require urgent repairs instead of waiting until we have to re-do the roads afresh. We have also come up with several authorities that will specifically deal with specific roads. Category A, B and C roads will be dealt ... view
• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I indicated, repair works are already going on and the Kshs10 million was specifically for repairing that particular section of the road and that is ongoing as we speak. We have no problem with large trucks on that road. The problem is overloading. Trucks that would not want to go through the Gilgil route would rather use that road and, therefore, do two times the tonnage that is expected. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I mentioned, my Ministry is trying to look at the possibility of having a weighbridge on that section not to deter the vehicles ... view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am very happy to get this opportunity to voice the concerns of thousands of Kenyans who are currently holed up in IDP camps, simply because there was an electoral dispute after the 2007 General Elections. It is unfortunate that most of the people who are held up in those camps are ordinary Kenyans who had no role to play whatsoever, other than belonging to certain communities. As a result of that, they were evicted from wherever they were living and thrown into the IDP camps. Having said that, I think it would be ... view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Accountants Bill and also to congratulate the Minister for Finance for bringing this Bill at this particular time when we have seen an increase in the number of Kenyans who are now willing to invest in alternative sectors, away from the traditional one, namely cattle keeping. It is true that more and more Kenyans are investing in the Stock Exchange by buying shares in companies. Most of the companies that have had their Initial Public Offers (IPOs) have been over-subscribed by over 100 per cent in most cases. It ... view
• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to address the House. I would like to start by congratulating my colleagues for having won one of the most hotly contested elections to be in this Tenth House. I am Lee Kinyanjui and I represent Nakuru Town in the Rift Valley. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the great people of Nakuru for giving me this opportunity to represent them in this Tenth Parliament. It was my first time to vie in a general election and I must say that I was really ... view
