• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that we have consulted with the Member together with the Assistant Minister and I will answer that Question on Tuesday afternoon. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to inform the Deputy Leader of Government Business that it is, indeed, true that this contract has been awarded, but it so happened that at the time when the quantities were taken and when the contract went to tender, it took such a long time that by the time the contractor was on the ground, the road had deteriorated remarkably. Therefore, the amount that had been set aside could only do the work that the contractor actually did. However, the work has already been re-tendered – that was on 29th September – and there ... view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It does not mean that if hon. Kimunya does not give an undertaking he ceases to be the Deputy Leader of Government Business. What he is saying is that he does not have the full facts, other than the statement presented by the honourable Member. How can he assure a stay when he has no facts? So, we also need to be fair to the hon. Minister. Thank you. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is, indeed, true that the Gilgil-Nyahururu Road has been under construction and the contractor is behind schedule. We have issued the contractor with the first warning but the progress has still not been satisfactory. I want to assure the hon. Member that we will not involve him in the other contract to upgrade the bridge. If anything, we intend to terminate his contract as soon as the period of the notice expires. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have indicated that the Railway Bridge is not within the mandate of the Ministry of Roads. It is within the mandate of the Ministry of Transport. My Ministry does not construct railway bridges. However, whenever we construct a road and there is an intersection between the road and a railway line, the two Ministries come together. There are specific measurements, especially the height, upon which we have agreed. We have realised that this particular bridge is slightly lower than the height stipulated in the Traffic Act. The height of this particular bridge is 3.6 ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the design existing so far does not necessarily include a detour. However, it requires us to excavate and ensure that the road goes lower by about a metre thereby accommodating the height. The relief trucks should be able to pass there. This was not the case before. So, we do not need to detour the road. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I concur with the hon. Member that, indeed, we have alternative routes that can be used to go to the same destination. The remaining section of the road which is about 15 kilometres is not impassable. It is only that the potholes there have emerged sooner than we expected. However, we have a budget for repairing that road. We believe we should be in a position to undertake the repairs within the coming financial year. Most of the relief trucks that take relief supplies to the upper parts of the country are always overloaded. Therefore, ... view
