• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is true that we have had several cases where contractors have taken extra long period than had actually been anticipated. As I had said, those are a few cases and they will be addressed. Nevertheless, we realize that the repair of ongoing works across the country for maintenance has somewhat been stalled because of the ongoing rains. It is extremely difficult for us to be able to maintain the roads when it is raining. That is because all the works that will be done will be carried away and it will be very difficult for ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the road in question was constructed according to the standards and we have no problems with the roads. The problem we have in Narok area all the way to Mai Mahiu is settlement patterns that have changed. There have been environmental factors that have continuously made flooding in those sections impossible to manage. In the days to come, we will improve the drainage in that area, plant more trees to ensure that the flooding that is being experienced particularly in Narok Town, is addressed. In the meantime, we are carrying out remedial works to expand all ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to confirm here that the sections of the road that will be used for the period when the bridge is under construction will be maintained to motorable standards. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The construction of Kisii-Keroka Road, that is B3, commenced on 27th July, 2010 and was completed within six months, in the period starting December 2010 and ended in June 2011. The construction of Daraja Moja Bridge commenced on 29th April, 2010 and was completed on 28th June, 2011. (b) The potholes emerging from some sections of the above road and the approaches to the bridge have been caused by a roadside carwash and leaking water pipes belonging to Lake Victoria South Water Services Board. As a result, Kenya National Highways ... view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I indicated earlier, we have instructed our technical team to inspect this particular bridge and confirm that indeed the position indicated by the hon. Member is correct. Otherwise the report that we were given at the point of completion of the works and after the defect liability period following completion, which is normally six months, was okay. However, in view of the complaints arising from the hon. Member, we will be having a technical visit, after which we will accordingly inform him of our findings and action will be taken. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the responsibility of re- routing the pipes does not belong to the Ministry. The problem that we currently have on this section of the road is that pipes are old and leaking. Moreover, we have people who have set up car wash facilities that do not have proper drainage. However, as we have said, this is only preliminary. Once we send our technical team to the ground, we will have the right report based on what is happening on the ground. Thereafter, we will take remedial action. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when my Ministry found that a particular contractor had done work in a manner that did not reflect the terms of the contract, we asked for a repeat of the works in terms of correction of where the mistakes had occurred. More importantly, we do not give such contractors any work thereafter. For contractors who have invested heavily in terms of equipment and all that, the fear of not being given any more work in future would really be a deterrent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the case of the road from Kisii to Gucha and ... view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had discussed that option with the Questioner – that we defer the Question until after we visit the site but we agreed that we execute the Question this far and that when we visit the site, we incorporate him and give him the technical report when we come back. Otherwise, I will be agreeable to whatever hon. Members think is right. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to second the Motion by the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs and also to urge hon. Members to contribute to this particular Speech. I know many have contributed but many others are yet to contribute. It raised very key and pertinent issues that will require deliberation by this House and also form the agenda in terms of the legislative agenda that is ahead of us. I beg to second. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I respect what the hon. Member is saying but I think it is good to recall that even as he criticizes the Speech, he was in the Ministry of Medical Services that was responsible for the Anti-Retroviral Virus drugs (ARVs), and he did not do anything! view
