• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On the question of cost, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale wanted to be given a comparative study on how the combined cost of Kshs44.5 billion was arrived at. My concern here is when we are doing a project, we do not start by answering questions that are anticipated. Any engineer would sign a project depending on the parameters of that particular project and after the design, the project is tendered. After the tender, we expect there to have been competitive tendering process done and thereafter the implementation. Since we know that implementation started in 2012, the documentation ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I answer that we need to do another study on comparative study on the amount of rainwater that falls in Nairobi, I think that goes beyond the answer to the Murang’a tunnel. I will request the Senator to bring this as a substantive Motion so that we urge the Government to carry out the study and the findings would be brought to the House. Furthermore, it should be noted that when we talk about inter-basin water transfers mainly we talk about rain water collection. All the flood water that goes to the Indian Ocean actually is ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you know, I do not make a lot of noise when people insult me. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that is a supplementary request from Sen. (Dr.) Machage. With your permission, I may repeat the questions that were asked and give the answers. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have respect for Sen. (Dr.) Machage. However, I do not understand why he would rise on a point of order to say that questions have not been answered, yet I have given straight answers. For example, I have given the date when the project was started. With your permission, I will proceed to give the rest of the answers. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding the question on the cost of the project going up, I do not know whether Sen. Boy Juma Boy was referring to the project of Mwache Dam, which is in his county. Which particular dam does he feel the cost could have gone up? I am ready to give any supplementary information when I bring the rest of the documents requested by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. (Dr.) Machage. The Jubilee Government is very open to give all the information. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the documents will come from various sources, I request for two weeks. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am trying to look at the particular part. The Northern Collector Tunnel is not a project by itself. view
• 8 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am ready with the statement and I beg to respond. view
• 8 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish you could allow me to read this statement because the interest on this matter was not only for Sen. Njoroge. It is a matter that has been discussed nationally as a matter of national interest. The statement I have here touches not on the interest of Sen. Njoroge alone. If I read it, it will inform the entire House on a very important matter of my Committee about why this kind of water works are necessary to be done where they have been done, elsewhere in the world and how Kenya stands to benefit. ... view
