• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will do as much. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has allocated funds for repair of some sections along the Kisii-Kisumu Highway which require urgent intervention to make them motorable. The procurement process for the repair works has began. (b) My Ministry through the KeNHA has prioritized repairing and improving the road to motorable standards. We will consider erecting bumps on the mentioned centers once the road has been improved. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the first point, I want to agree with the hon. Member that this road was designed a long time ago, and since then the usage of the road has significantly changed, and so has the traffic. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, late last year – 30th November – we actually procured the services of a consulting firm to do the redesign of this particular road, so that we could expand it and address some of the issues that the hon. Member has raised. We awarded the contract to Kaz Consulting Engineers at a cost of Kshs54 million, and we expect the design to be complete on 7th of November, this year. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have also advertised the road and we have actually started to repair the sections that are bad. These sections are Rakori to Tabaka, which we have allocated about Kshs67 million; then we have Iaba-Suneka to the junction with Kisii, that is B3; that has about Kshs85 million. Then we have Ahero to Nyamataro at Kshs86million. The total allocation, therefore, comes to Kshs238 million. The quality issues that the hon. Member has raised--- view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe the hon. Member will speak for himself if he is not satisfied. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was laying the background--- view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason why I have stated the amounts that we have allocated is because the quality of the works done will depend on the amounts that have been allocated. If you provide little money, you do not expect the whole road to be re-carpeted. So, the allocation of funds has a direct impact on the quality. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: However, I want also to assure the hon. Member that we will send there our quality assurance team and we will be able to get a report. If the work is not satisfactory, we will be able to take the necessary action. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the first criteria we use is reports from the Traffic Department to confirm the number of accidents happening at any section of a road. But more importantly, we have requests from Mombasa up to Busia on the entire Road A. Therefore, we may not be able to meet all of them. But the first criteria is a report from the police to show that the number of accidents we have are, indeed, caused by over-speeding. view
