• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: (b) I want to assure the hon. Member that I am committed to repairing the said road. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Indeed, I have already made a visit to the area and directed that the road be repaired. My Ministry, through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KNHA) has procured a contract for the repair of the said road at a cost of Kshs300 million, starting from Maili Tisa to Nangili Section and the contractor is already on site. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have divided the contract into two sections. The first section is Maili Tisa to Nangili, which is 20 kilometres. The other section is Nangili to Moi’s Bridge which is another 20 kilometres. The first section has already been awarded to a contractor by the name Laman Enterprises at a total sum of Kshs176 million. The contract was signed on 16th July, 2010, and the contractor was expected on site 14 days thereafter. Our engineers indicate that he is already on site mobilizing and we expect the work to commence immediately. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member that maybe, what he is looking for is not what we mean by mobilization. Before the contractor will be seen patching, it will take some time because he has to acquire the site where he will store his machinery. The contract started on 16th July and is valid for a period of 12 months. As far as we are concerned as a Ministry, the contract is on course. So, it is not late and we have no reason to be worried. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to say that we have no problem with the contractor being on site. However, the procedure that was there previously, where a contractor was automatically given money to start the work was discouraged partly because we would give money and some of them would never get to start the work. So, it is our belief that when you tender for this work, you have the necessary capital for you to be able to work until such a time when you can be paid. But on a needful basis, we are able to ... view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the scope of the works includes heavy patching, regulating and re-carpeting with asphaltic concretes. But in the meantime, as this is being done, we will be able to create good diversions that will be able to allow passage of the sections that are particularly very bad. But I want to assure this House that in another two weeks, the hon. Member will be thanking my Ministry. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once again, I wish to apologize for not being here to answer this Question the first time it was asked. However, I beg to reply. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to correct the hon. Member that, I indicated that there were two reasons. One of them was the weather and the other one was cash flow related problems. However, the contract details he has requested are as follows: view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: The contractor is Kay Construction Company. The time of completion was 30 months and the contract sum is Kshs1,885,694,927. The commencement date was to be 24th March, 2008 and the completion date was 24th September, 2010. The time expired to date is 94 per cent and the works completed to date is about 60.81 per cent. The amount certified to date is 46.63 per cent and this is as per 30th June, 2010. I have indicated that the contractor has requested for extension of time and my Ministry is processing the request. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are various considerations; some of them technical and others financial, but we will have to review the whole contract before we can give a clear answer on this, also bearing in mind who is to blame for the delays. view
