• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the concerns raised by the hon. Member in respect of the accidents that have been experienced on this section of the road and in the country at large, I wish to say that it is not the Ministry’s policy to erect bumps at every place. The section of the road we are talking about is, indeed, steep. If you introduce bumps, trucks moving uphill will have to slow down and, will have challenges in terms of being able to ensure continuity and, therefore, probably result in even more accidents. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to state that my Ministry has embarked on a serious road awareness campaign. We will be targeting road users, especially regular road users like truck drivers, matatu drivers and bus drivers to ensure that they use the road in a manner that does not endanger their lives or the lives of other road users. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, the concern by the hon. Member is correct. We have been able to note that on sections of the road where the trucks park by the road side, especially in the area of Kikopey, Salgaa, and in many other parts in the country, there is obstruction. Therefore, through the Kenya National Highways Authority, we are in the process of acquiring parking space in Salgaa and other areas to ensure that we get the trucks off the road and ensure that there is no obstruction, especially at night. view

• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to state that there is no evidence to show that the state of the roads is the cause of the accidents, especially on the section that the hon. Member has mentioned. I also wish to state that my Ministry would probably do more with more funds. Therefore, I would agree with him to the extent that if we would be able to get more funds, our roads would be much better than they are today. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is indeed true that the section of the road that the hon. Member has cited was in deplorable condition. My Ministry is in the process of disbursing funds to ensure that we restore that section of the road to motorable condition. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what has been said by the hon. Member is true, but he is also aware that there were concerns from the community and objections were raised. Therefore, my Ministry is reviewing the whole process of acquisition to ensure that all interests are taken care of, including the neighbourhood and the requirements set out by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Gatubia crossing on rural access road 28 was washed away a month ago. The crossing comprised of three lanes of culverts, the backfill of which was washed away by the recent rains. Temporary reinstatement of the washed out area has been carried out by back-filling of the crossing with hardcore and gravel. The reinstatement is planned to be completed by 24th December, 2010 at a cost of Kshs155,000. The works are being carried out by Rungare Contractors. The work is contracted by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA). (b) As ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate what the hon. Member has said because, indeed, the two communities from the opposite sides were not able to communicate for the said period. However, as the House is aware, my Ministry does not do the actual construction. It has to procure works from the eligible contractors. Therefore, we have to follow the laid down procurement procedure, which took the one month period the hon. Member has talked about. However, the contractor is under clear instructions to ensure that the work is completed as soon as possible. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
