• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: The sum contract for the entire construction was Kshs931, 216,000. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concerns by the hon. Member and wish to assure this House that no payments will be made before work is certified to be of the right quality and as per the specifications of the contract. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can confirm to this House that eleven months have already elapsed out of the 18 months that were allowed, and only 16 per cent of the work has actually been done. In effect, the contractor is behind schedule and as far as my Ministry is concerned, we have not had a convincing reason why this is so. Therefore, I want to assure this House that we will not extend the time for the contractor and that we are expecting to complete the works at the specified time. On the second part of the question; on the ... view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm to the hon. Member that the contract did not specify the types of materials to be used in the shoulders because the question is about the shoulders. However, I also want to assure this House that all the big excavations that are there besides the road will be filled before the end of the contract and therefore, the issue of the forensic audit may not be relevant. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that the contractor is behind schedule, but I have also informed this House that there is still time before the lapse of the 18 months contract that has been given to him. We have actually written to the contractor and instructed him to mobilize equipment and all the resources to ensure that the contract is finished in good time. Until the time has elapsed, it would be inappropriate to term the contractor as shoddy or the work done as being shoddy. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate if the contractor continues to do what we have clearly, as a Ministry, instructed him to stop doing. If that is indeed found to be the case, my Ministry will take appropriate action immediately. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Member that the question raised is indeed valid and we want to go to what I had said earlier; that, the contract did not specify the materials to be used in the shoulders. However, my Ministry will take appropriate action to ensure that Government funds are not used in useless projects. view
• 5 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not sure the Member got my point but what I said is that the specific materials to be used for the shoulders were not specified in the contract and therefore, the resident engineer had a whole range upon which he would actually pick from. I have also said that we will take appropriate action if it is found that the resident engineer did not do his work as specified. view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek your guidance on the validity of Motion No.8 that seeks to create the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee. The Sixth Schedule, Fourth Section clearly states the purpose of the Committee, but does not state how that will be done. The Standing Order No.159 states as follows:- “Unless otherwise provided by any written law or these Standing Orders, the House Business Committee shall, in consultation with parliamentary parties, nominate, for approval by the House, Members who shall serve on any select committee.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is where we are. ... view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the Emali – Ukia Road, that is, C99, is currently in a state of disrepair. view
