• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concern by the hon. Member. But as I have said here, it is not that the Ministry lacks the funds. The true position is that we had to go through the normal procurement process and that is what we have started. By the end of January, we expect to be through with that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to assure the hon. Member that other than the road markings that are in question here, we also realized that the road will require more repairs to ensure that it is user friendly, and that ... view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concern by the hon. Member, but also wish to state here that our biggest concern as a Ministry is that even when the road has been completed and all the road markings have been put, especially the road markings that are made of iron and metal, most of them are vandalized even before the first year is over. We are in the process of looking for more innovative material that we can use for road markings to ensure that the vandalism that we have experienced in the past is done away with. On most ... view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware of the section of the road which the hon. Member is referring to. It is the section called Kikopey on your way to Naivasha. That section is under construction. As soon as we complete the construction, we will be able to put the markings. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is an entirely different matter and, indeed, it is the responsibility of the motorists to ensure that they are safe on the roads. They should also ensure that the other road users are equally safe as they use those roads. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I indicated, the original contract for Mombasa Road to Chumvi Market, all the way to Machakos Town included road markings. But because of the cost overruns, it was not possible for us to include that. Therefore, the contract was terminated because the funds were not enough to go up to the completion stage. But I have also indicated that my Ministry has set aside a total of Kshs57,730,000 specifically for that purpose. Indeed, that will be done before January. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Ministry is not aware of the situation concerning that particular bridge which the hon. Member is referring to. However, I wish to assure the House that we will send our technical team and we will get the appropriate report. If it is found that the contractor did a shoddy job, we will also take the necessary action. view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Mathatani - Kaloleni Road is classified as D527 and E1807 and starts at Mathatani on the Junction A104 just before the Machakos Turn-off and proceeds through the Mau Hills to end at Kaloleni which is the junction with C99, Kangundo – Machakos Road. The length of the road is approximately 22 kilometres. The reason for the fast- wearing out of the gravel is on account of the sharp gradients. Some of the sections have gradients in excess of 18 per cent. (b) Funding for the gravel section was under the ... view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware of the condition of the road as the hon. Member has stated. We are doing everything possible to make an assessment of view

• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concerns by the hon. Member. Indeed, my Ministry recognizes the importance of this section of the road. I want to undertake that within the next Financial Year 2011/2012, we will prioritize this section of the road. view
