• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do agree that the design of these roads was not meant to carry the weight of the construction work that is currently going on in the three projects that I have already stated. However, we intend to encourage the contractors to ensure that they do not overload the haulage that they have to carry from the quarries to the sites. In the meantime, we are in the process of considering erecting a mobile weighbridge on this particular road to ensure that we do not have this excess carriage on the roads.

• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Bw. Spika, wiki jana tulijibu Swali hilo hapa Bungeni. Nilisema tayari maofisa wetu wameanza kukarabati barabara hii. Jana jambo hili liliripotiwa katika runinga zetu. Ninamhakikishia mhe. Leshomo kuwa tayari tumetenga pesa za kukarabati barabara hii. Kama nilivyosema tayari kuna maofisa mashinani ambao wanajishughulisha na ukarabati huu ili wananchi wa sehemu hiyo wapate chakula.

• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that the Mosoriot-Chepterwai Road is in urgent need of repair due to the heavy rains currently being experienced in the region.

However, due to the ongoing rains he could not commence the works. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (b) I am also aware that the Government had promised in 2007 that the road would be upgraded to bitumen standard.

• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (c) the road has been programmed for improvement to bitumen standard in the 2011/2012 Financial Year and the advertisement of the procurement of the works will appear in the newspapers by the end of August, 2011. The road has been allocated Kshs80 million to start the project and is available for immediate use. view
