• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, let me give my apologies to the House and also on behalf of my Minister for failing to attend to a Parliamentary Question last week. We were attending the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of all local authorities and we realized that the business of the House takes precedence. We had written a letter which somehow did not get to the Table and we assumed that there was going to be consent that we would be excused on that material day. On behalf of my Minister and myself, I must say that I am very ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)The funds allocated for the construction of Kitui Municipal Council Bus Park were Kshs46,129,577.70. The Ministry has paid Kshs14,431,310 as at December, 2008 leaving a balance of Kshs31,698,267.70 during the financial year of 2008/2009. The contractor has done 31 per cent of the works. (b) The contractor has significantly delayed the completion of the bus park and my Ministry is planning to terminate the current construction contract with a view of procuring another contractor for the completion of the remaining works. I wish, therefore, to assure this House that it is my Ministry’s ... view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I speak, we have had quite a number of project management meetings and we have come to the conclusion that the contractor does not have the capacity or is incapable of moving on with the contract. We are now engaging what we call the termination clause and that takes a bit of time. As soon as we have finalized with the termination, we will then proceed to give out another tender for contract. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before engaging the contractor, the due diligence was done and the normal procurement process went through. It is when the contractor was unable to meet the specific benchmarks in terms of certificate that we realized that he was unable to carry on with the contract. Then we engaged the municipal council and officers from the Ministry. From that point on, we have been monitoring to ensure that we are able to proceed ahead. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you realize, this was an ongoing contract. The funds had been allocated and had been put into the project account, so it is not one of the ones that would suffer in case this particular instance was to happen. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just wondering whether the hon. Member is reading from the same script. If you look at the payment made, it is Kshs14,431,000 versus Kshs46 million. We have paid exactly 31 per cent. I am wondering where he is getting other imaginary figures from. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those considerations will be put in once the tenders are taken out and we see the price that will come in. Then we will be able to sufficiently factor for that. view

• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the letter that I have here is dated 15th June, 2009. I just want to confirm if it is the same letter. This letter is reference number: Termination of Lease LR 1102. If you look at the contents of the letter, it gives notice in which compliance is meant to be done and once it is done the termination is not effected. So, there are conditions that have been put in place. Those conditions are special and require the land to be kept fenced and secured and a minimum number of livestock to be kept. There are ... view
