• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologize to the hon. Member if she has not received a written answer. I will ensure that I give her a copy of the answer. However, I beg to reply. (a) Following the completion of the Masalani-Hola Bridge, the Ministry recognizes the need to improve the Hola-Masalani Road in order to make it accessible throughout the year, especially, during the rainy season. That has, however, not been possible due to budgetary constraints. (b) The approach road on both sides of the bridge will be prioritized for improvement in the financial year 2010/2011. Tenders for the design ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to repeat the answer, given that the hon. Member has indicated that she did not hear it. (a) Following the completion of the Masalani-Hola Bridge, the Ministry recognizes the need to improve the Hola-Masalani Road in order to make it accessible throughout the year, especially, during the rainy season. That has, however, not been possible due to budgetary constraints. (b) The approach roads on both sides of the bridge will be prioritized for financing in the financial year 2010/2011. Tenders for the design to build Masalani Bridge approaches were advertized in the year 2008. Bids ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to the best of my knowledge, we had not set aside any money for the completion of the road. It was a bridge. I have already indicated that we have finished with the design work and opened the tenders. We will be prioritizing it in the next financial year. My Ministry considers that section of the road to be an important link to North Eastern. I want to assure hon. Members that, indeed, we will factor it in next year’s budget. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I welcome the request from the hon. Member to visit that project and, indeed, at the Ministry level, we will ensure that we dispatch a team to visit the site. But, I am not able to give a clear date. But at least, within sixty days that can be done. view

(a) The Kisumu-Chavakali section of the road was awarded to M/s Wallukat Investments, while the Chavakali-Webuye section was awarded to M/s Tai Enterprises Limited. The criteria used in the selection of contractors was post-qualification of Regional Term Contracts (PQRTC). (b) The contractor sum for the Kisumu-Chavakali section is Kshs84,680,615, while the sum for the Chavakali-Webuye section is Kshs122,976,498. (c) The two contractors were procured to undertake emergency repair because the road was in a deteriorating state. The contractors carried out the works as specified in the contract. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I share the concerns raised by the hon. Member. But I wish to state clearly that the contract clearly specified that we were doing emergency repair to make the road motorable. We were not reconstructing the roads and I want to--- view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member that the report we have clearly states and, I would like to say that, the work which was specifically given to the contractor, included the following: Excavation and cleaning of drains of the existing culverts, grading, processing and gravelling of shoulders; base and sub-base repairs, and patching with asphalt concrete. That does not include reconstruction of the road. I want to clearly note that, I have stated the different amounts for the specific roads; and if you look at the amounts and the distance we are talking about, this money ... view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reports that we have are that, the time when we gave out the work, like I have said, it included patching up with asphalt concretes where the potholes were. But, since then many others have emerged. I want to assure the House that our team of engineers has clearly said that what we gave out as work to be done has, indeed, been done. But, if that report is not accurate, I will send another team of officers to verify that position as stated by the hon. Members. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have indicated that the report that we have from the resident engineer is that the works, as I have read them out, were actually done. However, as indicated to this House, if indeed, there is a contradiction between the report we have and what is on the ground, as hon. Members have indicated; we will be able to report to this House and, indeed, communicate to the hon. Members. view
• 1 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not have any problem visiting that part of the country and, as I have indicated, we will indeed, be able to do that. view
