• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Municipal Reform Programme is also in Kisumu. Kisumu is one of the cities that will benefit under the Disaster Management Chapter. It talks about access. So, it will not only deal with the provision of fire engines, but also ensuring that all areas that could be prone to fires are accessed. More importantly, it is concerned with the training of personnel to ensure that they are prepared to deal with this nature of disasters. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, let me apologise for not being here when the Question was asked for the first time. I sincerely miscalculated. If I had come in ten minutes after the House convened, I would have been on time. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to ask for the indulgence of the House. I have consulted the Questioner, with whom we compared certain figures and facts stated in part “b” of the Question and concurred that, because this matter is before a Committee, where some work is being done, we give it four weeks to see whether the facts we have provided are sufficient. The hon. Member has agreed with me. So, I seek the indulgence of the House for the Question to be deferred. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we had agreed is that we defer it for four weeks. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry is constructing 211 markets under the Economic Stimulus Programme. The completion status is as follows: 100 markets are practically complete and are ready for use representing 47 per cent of all projects. Forty nine markets are in the final stages, representing 25.3 per cent of all projects. Fifty four markets have ongoing works representing 26 per cent of all projects and three markets are in the initial stages of development representing 1.4 per cent of all projects. Five markets are under the procurement process representing 2.3 per cent of ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, let me thank the hon. Member for his diligence. He has indicated that he received an apology from the Deputy Prime Minister, who was then the Minister for Local Government. The key issue, which is what I want to address, is ensuring that the project commences. All the documents he has brought as evidence to show that these documents were indeed forwarded to my Ministry can only be subjected to an investigation, which I will undertake to establish what went wrong and how they got lost. The most important thing is for the works on ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was very clear in saying that this is a matter which is obviously subject to investigation. The information I was given is that there were no documents. As such, I will need to look at those documents and address the issue in terms of finding out where the documents disappeared to. I do not have the tabled documents, but I am also looking at the bigger picture, which is the construction. For anything that may have gone wrong as far as our Ministry is concerned, I will take necessary disciplinary action against the particular officers ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I said I had been misled. My answer says that the documents were not forwarded by Limuru CDF, and that I did not have any of those documents. That is why I have undertaken to investigate the matter to find out exactly what happened and how the documents got lost, so that action can be taken to ensure that the people of Limuru, who have suffered, get services as remedial action is taken. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to concur with the Member for Mvita that as far as the market projects are concerned, the Economic Stimulus Package started on the wrong footing. It was initially advertised by the Ministry of Finance. Upon the programme’s transfer to our Ministry, we inherited quite a number of documents which were not in order, and some projects needed to be re-advertised. In the case of the Mvita project, I would like to be advised further by the hon. Member because from the report, I can see that a contractor has been awarded the contract. ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we tabled a report in this House, which indicates that 50 per cent of the markets have been completed, and that another 40 per cent are in the process of being completed. We have never interrogated that report sufficiently but each hon. Member has a copy of it. If there is any hon. Member who has not got a copy, I am sure that he or she can get it from Room 8. When the hon. Members stormed my office, none of the projects had been completed. I can, however, assure this House that, as of ... view
