• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, tenders for the design to bitumen standard have been received and will be evaluated in the next month. Once they are evaluated, we will prioritise it in the next financial year. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that probably the road deserved more allocation but the Ministry of Roads works on a budget which is allocated by the Office of the Deputy Minister and Ministry of Finance. Therefore, we are able to work with what we have. I want to assure the House that we will prioritise this road and ensure that we have a long-term solution. The Kshs200 million that we are giving is for periodic maintenance and not for the rehabilitation of the road to what we would want it to be. I assure this ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that in the last three weeks, my technical team through the National Highways Authority was able to visit the area and on the basis of their visit, we were able to package what we now call an emergency rescue for the road. But, also, within the last five days, my Minister has also visited this particular area and like I said, we are also in communication with the two operators to ensure that we incorporate their demands as we move forward. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to say that we are free and that we will definitely want to visit the area. However, we will visit it once it has started. Therefore, in the next one month, I will be able to visit the area. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of that contractor and, therefore, I will neither deny nor confirm the allegations. It is also good to note that some of the roads within that particular area are also under the Narok County Council. It may well be that, that road which the hon. Member is talking about falls within that category. However, on the road in question which is Road C12, there is clearly no contractor from my Ministry and the contractor who will be coming there will do so within the next three weeks and he will specifically be ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not denied. I have categorically said that I will require time to confirm and, therefore, I would neither deny nor confirm until I have the information. I have, therefore, not denied. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is, indeed, true that we have some of the road agencies in the country that include, for example, roads within the national parks that are actually done by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and we do not supervise them. What we do is to audit once the works have been done. As hon. Members know, about 1 per cent of our resources go directly to the KWS and, also within the county councils, there are certain roads that are earmarked to be developed. This also includes the Local Authority Transfer Fund (LATF) because we give ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have talked with the hon. Member. We have looked at the answer given and we feel that we might require more time to get more information. Therefore, I beg the indulgence of the House to answer this Question next week so that I can furnish the hon. Member with the information that he requires. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the shoulders of the road failed during construction on some sections of Nyahururu-Gilgil Road due to usage of mixed nitrate gravel and not because of the red soil excavated from the side of the road. (b) The contractor has been stopped from using the gravel and was instructed to remedy the defected areas and, at the same time, use materials with the specifications as allowed by the Ministry. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the scope of the works in the contract indicated as follows: That the contractor would do site clearance and top soil stepping, earthworks; removal and reinstatement of all the failed road pavements to the inserted depth; repair of base using stabilized gravel material; repair of potholes, regulation and resurfacing using asphalt concrete; overlay and application of double sealing using size 14, 20 and 6:10 millimeter pilocated chippings; installation of new drainage structures and the cleaning of existing drainage structures, and: the repair of the shoulders that is the subject of this Question. view
