• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: (b) I have already provided funds for repair of the damaged culverts, drifts and spot gravelling of the road. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: (c) My Ministry has envisaged carrying out the design to bitumen standards of the said road in the next financial year; that is, 2011/2012, after which it will be considered for tarmacking. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my Ministry, through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA), has set aside Kshs5 million in this financial year and, indeed, the work will commence in the next few weeks. We have already sent the contractor there. view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Member that a lot of time and focus has been given to the rural roads. Therefore, ownership of the highway roads has been in doubt. I want to assure the hon. Member that we have officers on the ground. What we need to ensure is that, at any one time, whenever we have the work plan for the highways, hon. Members from that region should get a copy of the work plan for the roads to be done. They should be involved at every stage. We have a work ... view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the hon. Member may not have got it well. I said that we have them on the ground. I did not mean at the district or constituency level, but actually at the provincial headquarters. That is because highways are long and they traverse huge distances. So, what we will do, like I said, is to send a copy of the work plan for each region to the Members of Parliament so that they can also be our eyes on the ground. Once the work is done, they will be in a position to appreciate, ... view
• 29 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, roads serve people and with the change of settlements and settlement patterns, before you do any actual construction, there is need to do design review to ensure that the roads serves the needs of the people at a given time. The design we are talking about is a design review that will ensure that all the settlement patterns and new features are taken into account. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: (a) The European Union (EU) had identified the road for possible funding, but it was later omitted because it was already included for funding under the African Development Bank (ADB) with the East African Community (EAC) infrastructure development framework. (b) As stated above, there was no re-allocation of funds meant for the above mentioned road. (c) My Ministry is carrying out a design review of the entire road with a view of upgrading it to bitumen standard. In the meantime, I have set aside a total of Kshs800 million for rehabilitation of the road section from Voi to Mwatate to ... view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Member that, indeed, the EU had identified the road for possible funding, but it was later discovered that the EAC had a regional road network that is to be funded by the ADB. The road connecting Kenya to Tanzania through Namanga is under that programme. If you look at the Merile Road, it is also under the ADB programme. The ADB had specifically requested to fund roads that are connecting Kenya to her immediate neighbouring countries. When the EU saw this, it used the money for other projects within the ... view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are at the design review stage. Until we complete the design and sign the agreements with the financing authorities, it may not be possible for me to give a specific date when work will commence. However, I want to assure the hon. Member that we hope to complete the design review within the current financial year and sign the financing agreements. view
