• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the decision to erect the bumps has not yet been arrived at. However, we are liaising with the Police Department to be able to decide on the appropriate sections where we can erect the bumps and, more importantly, to be able to put up road signs to warn the road users. view

• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the section around Kagumo Market along the Kutus-Karatina Road is in urgent need of repair. However, we have not received any reports of accidents in that section. (b) The contractor did not abandon the works but moved in order to address critical areas that required urgent attention in view of limited funds. (c) My Ministry through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) has made a provision of Kshs144 million this financial year for routine maintenance works of the Kutus-Karatina Road. Tenders have already been advertised and the ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the contract that we awarded was for Kshs49 million in 2010/2011 Financial Year. That was the initial sum but upon evaluation, a variation order was done to increase the amount to Kshs53.9 million to cater for other sections that had already deteriorated very fast. The entire section of the road was seen to have varying degrees of failure and, therefore, we requested the contractor to start with areas where there were very big potholes and posed a major risk not only in terms of accidents but also in terms of safety as motorists slow down to ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to correct the hon. Member that the fact that roads are being repaired every now and then, is indeed, the process all over the world. As roads are used, they also get worn out and have to be repaired from time to time. Therefore, the fact that we are repairing roads is a natural process that must take place. However, as you know, the procurement process in Government sometimes takes long. As you have seen, we advertised in September and we have the funds. Before we advertise, give the relevant period for people to ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you agree with me that that is an entirely different Question. In the meantime, as I have said, we have already advertised and have opened the bids. As soon as we are sure, there will be no appeal upon awarding the contract to whoever wins, then I will give that. As of now, we do not have a particular contractor who has won this contract. This is what I would have used before the House to say when it will start and exactly who will be doing the contract. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: newspaper of 23rd September, among many other roads in central and other places in the country. As soon as we finish the evaluation, I will be able to give the information that has been sought. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that the Ministry of Roads is working hard to ensure that we enlighten the public on areas that require extra caution partly arising from the number of accidents we have had in those sections. Popularly, we have come to call these areas the black spots. The best area in way of an example would be the section called Salgaa. Many of you will recall that before we realigned the road, we had a steep road and then at the tip, you had to do a corner. You will recall that five years back, ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no such thing as good design. Designing and engineering keep on improving every now and then. Even what we call good today, in a few years’ time, it may not be the best. Therefore, the design of the road by itself cannot cause an accident. view
