• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to admit to this House that, indeed, of all the roads that connect us to our neighbouring countries, this is the road which is in the worst condition. We appreciate the volume of business we do with Southern Tanzania, which will be greatly enhanced once this road is done. I want to assure the hon. Member that having done all the other major roads, including the roads connecting us to Ethiopia, Uganda and Tanzania, this is the next project. I am sure that we will be able to have something concrete before the end of ... view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not at any one time said that we diverted funds to other projects. I have only indicated that all the donor agencies specifically take certain projects. For instance, as I have said, the ADB is specifically interested in roads connecting us to the neighbouring countries. Therefore, they have taken up all those projects. When the European Union (EU) discovered that the ADB had already prioritised this project, they withdrew from it because there would have been double funding. No money from the donors would be transferred without the donor’s agreement. No agreement had actually been ... view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, by the time the EU came and expressed interest to fund this particular road, the ADB was already there. Therefore, it would be erroneous to state that the ADB came much later. I want to assure the hon. Members, whose concerns I appreciate--- That road serves a huge population and a huge economy; it will be prioritised and done. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the design I have said is about to be completed will give the scope of the works to be done and, therefore, the amount of money that will be required. Only then will we be able to know how much money to expect and how much money the Government of Kenya will have to provide as a component in the development of that road. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already said as much as relates to this project. Even if we have to give an answer here next week or the week after, we will give the same answer. I have already indicated that we have given Kshs800 million towards the rehabilitation of 25 kilometres of the 107 kilometres. This will ensure that the road is motorable even as we look for a long-term solution. I would want to invite the hon. Members from the region and, of course, all the other hon. Members from the larger Coast region, because we are at an ... view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the scope of the work that the hon. Member has touched on is a matter I will be able to table before this House to indicate exactly what the Kshs800 million is supposed to do. However, that is purely beyond the scope of the Question at hand, which is about the funding of the road in question. The Kshs800 million is for rehabilitation of the 25 kilometre section. I will be able to avail the details to ensure that hon. Members are satisfied. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: I am much obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I wish to apologize for not being here the first time the Question was asked. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: However, I beg to reply. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that the Eldoret-Kitale Road is in dire need of repair. view
