• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Most of the projects undertaken in Wajir South have been funded through the Road Levy Maintenance Fund. Nevertheless, projects undertaken outside the Road Levy Maintenance Fund include: designing of the Isiolo-Modogashe-Elwak-Mandera section of Road B9. (b) The classification of roads in Kenya was done in the 1960s where this road was classified as B9. My Ministry has embarked on an exercise to review the classification of roads in Kenya. The report is being finalized and will be tabled in the House within the next 30 days as per the ruling of the ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (c) The project to tarmac Modika-Nunu-Modogashe is on course. Currently, the Government has obtained funds from various development partners and the procurement of the works will be done in the course of this year - 2011. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Part (a) of the Question reads: “What projects, aside from the Road Levy Maintenance Fund---” The Road Levy Maintenance Fund is also from the Government. It is administered by the Ministry. So, to claim that the Government has not done anything in the last three years is completely misleading. As I have indicated, other than the maintenance through the Road Levy Maintenance Fund, we have also undertaken the designing of those particular roads and I have the details. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am unable to give a definite date because the stage at which we are in the negotiations, we have already completed the design work. We have approached several development partners who include the Kuwaiti and Saudi funds, the Oil Producing and Exporting Countries (OPEC), the Arab Bank for Economic Development of Africa (BADEA), Abu Dhabi and Government of Kenya (GoK). We are very confident that within the next six months, we will be able to come up with a firm commitment to start the procurement. However, as it is right now, without a firm commitment on ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I indicated, my Ministry, through KENHA, has set aside a total of Kshs185.5 million for B9 and a total of Kshs38.4 million for C116. The money set aside for B9 will cover the entire B9, which is the Isiolo-Modogashe section. The road is actually located in Isiolo and Garissa counties. The project starts in Isiolo with the junction at A2 and passes through Garbatulla and ends in Modogashe. It will also incorporate the Modogashe-Wajir-Elwak Road. That is still part of B9 and this section is located in the Isiolo, Wajir and Mandera counties. Still on B9, ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would be reluctant to talk about the money acquired. But, maybe, I can talk about the pledges in connection to those particular projects. The GoK has sourced funds for the construction of those road as follows:- I had talked about the Kuwaiti Fund. We are talking about US$20 million. With the Saudi Fund, we are talking about US$25 million. With OPEC, we are talking about US$12 million. With BADEA, we are talking about US$10 million. With Abu Dhabi, we are talking about US$10million and with GOK, we are talking about a total ofUS$23 million. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to acknowledge that, indeed, it is true that the hon. Member has visited our offices and actually forwarded the request. We are considering that request and we will be able to avail funds as soon as the same is availed to us by the Treasury. We also take note that the road in question is very useful in terms of relief supply and we will prioritize it as soon as the funds come. But, clearly, we have not declined. It is only that we do not have funds for emergency response. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for granting me the opportunity to participate in this very useful debate. Allow me to say that I am very disappointed. It has been the case in this country and we know, as politicians, when we go to any funeral, the first thing is to hijack the funeral, take charge and it becomes a political gathering. Today in Kenya, families are going hungry. Children are going to sleep without food. As the schools open next term, because food is a key component, especially in boarding schools, we expect the fees to go up. Kenyans ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a country, we must agree to make long- term sacrifices, so that we can be able to address the issue of fuel. We should purchase it when the prices are low and when the prices go up, we will not be required to purchase anything. As we speak now, Kenya is a leading manufacturer in East and Central Africa. Oil or energy for that particular matter is a key component as a factor of production. Our commodities will not be able to sell both in the local and regional markets when the prices go up. view
