• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concerns raised by the hon. Member. I want to appreciate the various economic activities that take place in Eastleigh and the neighbouring areas. In recognition of that, we have come up with a package that will restore the roads in Eastleigh, so that business people can be able to undertake their business activities without fear of the infrastructure collapsing. Therefore, in connection to that, the Government has engaged Northern Construction Company, as I said, to rehabilitate Second Avenue and Fifteenth Street at a contract sum of Kshs173,360,000.

• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that would never be the intention of my Ministry. I wish to also confirm that until about two years ago, the responsibility of maintaining roads in urban centres lay with the municipal council and the city councils. The Ministry would forward the funds to the local authorities and then the local authorities would undertake the work but since we took up roads in urban centres under the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), I have already detailed what we have done in only two years. I am sure that within three years, we will have corrected all ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the roads in Nairobi today are in a very despicable condition. In fact, even as we speak, the main street in Westlands is completely worn out. We have requested Treasury to allocate sufficient funds for us to improve especially the business areas, which include Eastleigh, among others. Once those funds are allocated, we will put them into proper use and address the roads that have been mentioned. view

However, if the hon. Member wants me to provide him with all the information about all roads within Kamkunji Constituency, I will provide the same and give him a work plan that indicates which road is allocated what amount and at what stage we are in the procurement process. view
