• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the contractor has not gone away. In fact, he is still on site. The problem has to do with his capacity to undertake the job that we have given him within the time stipulated in the contract. Therefore, he is not able to keep within our schedule which would also raise a few questions on his capacity. We are not willing to give him more work. If anything, we hope to terminate his contract and get a contractor who can deliver on time and within the specified parameters of the contract. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have not given him a time extension because that has not even been sought. What we have given him is a warning letter to show cause why we should not terminate his work. The answer that has been given does not satisfy the Ministry. After the stipulated time is over, we will terminate this contract. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not true that the contract was given four years ago. It is true that he is late, but it is not four years. Again, it is not only 25 kilometers that have been done. However, if the hon. Member wants me to table the progress of work vis-à-vis the time taken, I will be glad to do that. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would consider that if the problem was on the side of the Ministry in terms of fulfilling the contract. However, in this case, the delay has been on the side of the contractor. We are, therefore, unlikely to consider that. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the termination of any contract is clearly stipulated on the contract itself which is a legal document. Therefore, before we terminate, we have to give the relevant notices and the contractor must be given time to respond. We have done all that and I am convinced that the final termination letter should be coming out soon. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Repair of most of the roads in Lolan was undertaken and completed in accordance with the plan of the Constituency Roads Committee (CRC). However, some delays were experienced due to the long distances for haulage of gravel materials as well as the rains. (b) The contract for repair of Kapsangar-Sekuton Road was awarded in March, 2011, and as at June, 2011, money spent and the completed works was valued at Kshs476,000. The repair works are still ongoing. (c) Allocation of more funds on the roads is the prerogative of the CRC ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to repeat that the Sigor CRC has allocated a total of Kshs1,977,500 and a further Kshs1,225,000 to the Kapsangar-Sekuton Road in the Financial Year 2009/2010. The CRC is constituted with the help of the area Member of Parliament. Therefore, the work plan that emanates from the CRC is a product of the people on the ground. You will recall--- view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just laying the background, but I wish to repeat once again that this Parliament in 2009 amended the Roads Act. It made all maintenance funds to all constituencies the same irrespective of the number of kilometres we have and the state of the roads in every constituency. Therefore, when the House passed that Bill, in essence what we meant is that Sigor, among many other constituencies would be getting the same amount of money and it was up to the hon. Members of Parliament, through the CRCs to do the best they could with ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the El Nino is not a permanent feature. Therefore, we could not retain that kitty when the problem was not there. However, we have an emergency kitty and when we have sudden downpour and some roads are cut off, we are able to address such challenges using the emergency kitty. However, it is not enough to be able to take care of all the roads that we have in the country. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have not received any formal request from Sigor Constituency, both from the CRC or the regional manager. But once we receive it, we will evaluate it alongside others. view
