• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member. We will send our technical team out to assess the roads, and, thereafter, we will be able to take the necessary action. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The contractor who used Gacharage Community Field as a site office is not expected to repair it since he has already handed it over to the school management in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that the answer is short, but the Question was equally short. For now, I wish to table a copy of the hand-over documents between S.S. Mehta, who was the contractor, and the headteacher of Gacharage Primary School, which states as follows: “We have completed the works on the Thika-Gacharage Road as per our initial understanding, and we hereby hand over the site camp which was set up in your school playing field. An inventory was jointly made by our representative, Mr. Frederick Njoroge, and yourself, Mr. Wanyoike, on 1st April, ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have indicated, the contract that is in question is not between the Ministry of Roads and the School. It is between the contractor and the school. Therefore, it is a private arrangement. Upon completion of using that particular field as a site office, the two parties, that is the school and the contractor sat down and prepared an inventory, which I have attached; it includes the perimeter fence, pit latrine, store, kitchen and all the facilities that were being used. After inspection of all those, the school signed the document, which showed that they ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not too sure that the hon. Member has asked a question. He is asking: How come the community did all this? I cannot answer that. My responsibility is the section the part touches on the Ministry of Roads and with the contractor; they clearly have a letter that indicates that they were cleared to leave. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that the question that the hon. Member asked really, is not for me to answer. It does not relate to my Ministry. It does not relate to me or the contractor. That is where we have a contractual obligation. The contract that is there is between the school and the contractor and they were clearly paid. At the completion of the exercise, they have signed saying that they are happy with the way the contract has ended. I wish to assure the House and the hon. Member that with this copy--- If there is ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that we have the contract liability period and during that period, any defect that is found on the road will be repaired by the contractor. But the school was not part of the contract and, therefore, it cannot be considered under the defect liability period. However, under corporate social responsibility, we will request the contractor to consider repairing the school field to ensure that it is restored. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that, indeed, the contractors have superior manpower in terms of crafting leases and, therefore, the schools may be disadvantaged. But I think it would also be important, as leaders, to agree that any decision to lease part of the school or the school fields must go through the district education boards. That is because that is a public asset. It is a school asset and through the district education office, they would get better offers. However, I also wish to say that in our agreements or contracts, our contract is ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have said, we will try and talk to the contractor with the hope of getting him to restore the school to the way it was before. The issue, once again, of the contract between the school and the contractor, as I have said, is not a matter that is within the Ministry of Roads. However, I am sure that, under corporate social responsibility, the contractor will basically want to ensure that, that matter has been addressed once and for all. I want to assure the hon. Member that within no time, I will give ... view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Makutano/Machakos/Masii Road is classified as C97 and is approximately 63 kilometres. Due to increased quantities of works, the project was terminated at Kaseve since the funds that were available had been exhausted. The project was to cover up to Masii Town. (b) A total of Kshs53,730,000 has been allocated through the Kenya Roads Board surplus fund to fund the road markings. Advertisement for the works is to be done by the end of November, that is this week, and procurement will be complete before January. view
