• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, over the period, there has been quite a number of variations in the contract. There has been a 15 per cent variation due to inflation and Kshs100,000 variation due to post-election violence. So, the project price increased. However, I would like to assure the hon. Member of Parliament for Subukia that the contract will be awarded afresh. We will do a tender and shortlisting of the works so that it is given to a totally new contractor. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 21st February 2008, the contractor wrote to the County Council of Nakuru requesting for an additional Kshs100,000 saying that his equipment had been stolen during the post-election violence. I think, probably, it was during the provision of some equipment. It might have been stolen but not necessarily within the constituency. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this was presented to a committee within the Ministry. The Committee then provided the minutes to give the additional Kshs100,000. That is what I have as post-election but, more importantly is the point of--- view

• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: We were not aware in the weekly programme that this Question would feature. So, I do not have the answer to the Question at present. However, I would request the Chair to defer this Question to tomorrow afternoon and I will answer it. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Government has put in place measures aimed at allocation of revenue to county governments in accordance with the Constitution. The Treasury is working towards ensuring that the funds are available in the year 2012/2013 once the counties are operational. (b) The Treasury has constituted a working committee to deal with all aspects of physical decentralization, amongst them being identifying the necessary capacity for the county governments to fully function. The recommendations of this committee will facilitate appropriate deployment of staff and proper utilization of funds within the counties. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would want your assistance, but as you know, there is collective responsibility. This has been done in conjunction with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and the Assistant Minister, who is out of the country and I am acting on his behalf. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, funds will be available in 2012/2013 Financial Year for operationalization of counties in the country. However, that does not necessarily mean that there are no funds available to create the necessary infrastructure to ensure that the physical structures of counties are there. The 2012 elections will be held on August. The Governors will come into place after August. By that time, the funds for running the counties will be available. view
