• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that, indeed, the rain patterns in Kenya are known. However, you will agree with me that in the last two years we have had unusual rains that have caused havoc. In certain places like Narok there was a complete wash out of roads. We need to appreciate that. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: I wish to reiterate that the Ministry is very keen in ensuring that the completion date of all projects is strictly adhered to. We have projects that were meant to be completed two or three years ago, but they are still going on. Before the Ministry awards any contract, we look at what the contractor has done in previous contracts. If they were not able to finish on time, that would work against the possibility of getting any future contracts with the Government. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree with the hon. Member that, indeed, a team from the Ministry visited the road in question and the work was found to be deficient. The Ministry does not pay until the work is done satisfactorily. I want to assure the hon. Member that we will not pay that contractor until we are satisfied that the work is done as per the terms of the contract. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of that position. However, the terms of the contract included drainage works for the roads. I will ensure that the work is done per the contract which definitely will not involve directing the water to people’s homes and, therefore causing the discomfort. I will intervene and work will be done as agreed. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that the survey and detailed design of Sigalagala-Butere-Sidindi Road (D260) has been carried out at a cost of Kshs22,517,000. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: (b) I am unable to confirm at this time that the construction of the road will be accommodated in the 2010/2011 Financial Year Budget. This is because my Ministry is in the process of finalising the Roads Sector Investment Plan, which will provide the framework for prioritising roads for construction, including the Sigalagala-Butere-Sidindi Road. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: (c)The Roads Sector Investment Plan also includes a proposal for review of the classification of the road network. I, therefore, plead with the hon. Member to be patient and wait for the outcome of the Roads Sector Investment Plan Report. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is in possession of a letter, which I do not dispute. However, the Ministry has previously undertaken road investments without a clear programme, where roads were built without any planning view
