• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: The reason for the barriers as we said earlier is to ensure that the vehicles that are moving on the opposite direction do not come into contact or to separate the areas that have actually been excavated, failure to which we will have very serious accidents. So, we will ensure that we hasten the issue of reflectors. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry is committed to improving Kirima- Ndinda and Kirima- Engineer roads to bitumen standard. However, the award for the design contract of the road was delayed due to budgetary constraints. The design will be factored in the coming Financial Year, 2010/2011. (b) As for the award of the contract, this can only be handled in line with the provisions of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: I want to agree with the hon. Member that my Ministry expresses its desire to ensure that the road is done. But as I had said earlier, the completion of this road or any other road must be backed by available finances. But I want to assure the hon. Member that we would set aside the Kshs15 million required to do the design upon which we will be able to get the total amount required and work will be tendered as soon as funds are available. view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the project actually starts at Kirima junction, that is, D393 up to D391, which in effect means that it is a D road. From Kirima to Ndinda its is D391 up to D392. So, if I got the Member right, the class of the Road is D. From D392 to a C69 at Ndinda. So, the roads are between C and D. The reason why we have not been able to tarmac this area is not because of the grade. As I said earlier, my Ministry had already expressed its commitment to ensuring that the road is ... view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I indicated that we would not be able to procure the contactor to do the road before the design has been done. To that effect, I have said that a detailed design contract of about Kshs15 million will have to be completed so that we would know how much we will have to seek to do the road. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not the only road that is being designed or has been designed and is waiting for funding for it to be constructed to bitumen standards. The road that the hon. Member has stated is ... view
• 8 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that when you do the main highways and do not address the feeder roads, the utility of the road is, indeed, compromised. Therefore, we will look at the roads we have already stated. I would like to say that the road from Engineer to Njabini which is in a deplorable condition, will indeed, be looked into. We will look for immediate remedial action to address the potholes. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The construction of Stand Kisa-Khumusalaba Road, C39, has been affected by various factors that have delayed its scheduled completion as follows. (i) The contractor was not able to work during the months of January, February and March, 2008 due to post-election violence which took place in the area. (ii) The contractor was barred from accessing gravel sites for sourcing of materials for construction by the District Environment Officer (DEO). (iii) Heavy rains in the project area during the months of March, April, May and June, 2008 also affected the work ... view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware, as the hon. Member has said that on 13th August, 2008, the District Environment Officer for Butere/Mumias gave a stop order to the contractor from carrying out excavation of gravel until an impact assessment report was done and license issued. This order affected the excavation of sub-base and base materials of the project. The impact assessment report was given and work commenced thereafter. I am aware that there was, indeed, an issue and it is at that point that the DEO for Butere-Mumias intervened. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to assure the hon. Member that before any contract is given, the contract document includes performance contract. This means that the contractor must do the work as per the specifications. After completion of the work there is a Defects Liability Period (DLP) upon which any defects arising from the works view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: 3 Wednesday, 7th April, 2010(A) will be done by the contractor. There is a certain percentage which is normally retained by the Ministry until that period is over. view
