• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there were certain cost estimates that had not been finalized to bring the final figure. The procedure normally is that the council brings the budget to our office and then the Minister approves it. I do not have that figure at present because the quantification has not been finalized. However, this morning I had a very extensive talk with the Town Clerk pertaining to this and I have given very explicit instructions that there has to be sufficient budgetary provisions.

• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that eateries along Bank Street in the City of Kisumu were constructed after contracts were signed between traders and Kenya Railways. I wish to mention that the land belongs to Kenya Railways Corporation. However, the City Council of Kisumu (CCK) did not approve any plans for temporary structures on the mentioned areas.

• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, those structures were constructed on the land belonging to the Railways.
