• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I want to confirm that this is a class “C” road; it is, indeed, a very important road linking two very important areas.

With Kshs400,000, it would not have been possible for us to start the project. Indeed, we had put it in as a line item to make the Treasury pump in more money, so that we could commence the contract. view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is, indeed, true that there are certain roads of class “B” that have not been upgraded to bitumen standard. I want to assure the hon.

This was an old colonial structure that was overdue for replacement. (b) Estimates for the above bridge have been forwarded to the Ministry and it is estimated that a total of Kshs9 million will be required to be able to restore the bridge. Further, we have allocated a similar amount and within the next one month we should be able to complete the tendering process so that we can be able to commence the construction of this ... view
