• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to say once again that, indeed, that particular policy was contained in the 2009/2010 Budget and, subsequently, in the following year - that is, 2010/2011. The thinking is that, as you will recall, about Kshs5 million was set aside to buy a vehicle upfront. If it was leasing, you would have been required to pay the same amount over the period that you are going to use that same vehicle. After we have received specific proposals from the 15 firms, we will compare that cost against the already existing cost structure that we have when ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to request the hon. Member to repeat the question. I did not get his question. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have indicated, the Ministry will bear in mind the public procurement laws. I also wish to state that the 15 bidders who have expressed interest have already been evaluated. For the benefit of hon. Members, I wish to read the 15 firms. They are Simba Colt Motors, Africa Freight Solutions Limited, DT Dobie Company Limited, Rental Works EA Limited, CMC Motors Group, Ryce EA Limited, General Motors, Marshalls, Associated Motors, Fleet Africa--- view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member. But I wish to inform him that we are talking of a big fleet of vehicles. Those are the companies that can lease fleets; a high number of vehicles to the Government. But, maybe, at another level, that is a matter that we could consider. However, allow me also to indicate that the Government will only consider those who have applied. An advertisement was put forth for Kenyans from across the country to express their interest. Only 15 firms have expressed their interest and they have already been evaluated positively. It ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the request by the hon. Member will come at another time. But leasing vehicles is the way companies in the private sector go today. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government has the option of buying new vehicles or leasing from the already existing companies. That is what I have stated. At this stage, we are merely evaluating and we have not received any actual proposals from the bidders. Only when we have received those bids would we be able to demonstrate that we have a better offer than the other. But it is, indeed, an acknowledged fact that leasing is a better form of transport - especially for the Government - than owning the vehicles. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to remind hon. Member that, as I have indicated, that particular policy went through the Cabinet and the Budget for 2009/2010. It was also contained in the Budget which was debated and passed by this very same House. In this current Financial Year, 2010/2011, the same proposals were contained there. They were discussed and debated by this House and passed. Therefore, I wish to request the hon. Member and the House at large to look at the leasing policy from a broader perspective and as a means through which the Government stands to have extra ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you! I undertake to oblige. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that poor design has been the cause of accidents at Salgaa/Sachangwan on the Nakuru-Eldoret Road. Indeed, majority of the accidents on our roads are being attributed to human error. (b) Previously, there was a concern that a tight curve on the above mentioned spot was the cause of the accidents. During the reconstruction of the Njoro Turn-Off to Timboroa section, my Ministry realigned the section of the road and removed the tight curve. We have also significantly widened the road to enhance safety of the motorists. I ... view
