• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, one of the reasons why my Committee agreed with the proposals and recommendations from the Ministry and the public is that the national Government… I was sitting here when the National Treasury came to present to the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) during the Supplementary Budget Estimates. The National Treasury declared that the national Government owes Kshs90 billion to the people of Kenya in terms of pending bills. Earlier, the Chairman of BAC was arguing about this matter. This Bill will not have come at a better time than now, the reason being that out of the Kshs90 billion ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: We were informed by the Ministry that the Kshs81 billion that we owe the people of Kenya through roads is attracting close to Kshs5 billion in terms of interest. We are losing as a people. We must think outside the box or without the box and perhaps, this is the Bill that will sort out these issues. It will help the people of Kenya to get their money. For instance, the Ministry now owes Kshs81 billion against a budget of Kshs65 billion. We can have engineers in roads doing nothing but earning salaries for the next 11 years and that ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Kshs200,000, it is simple logic. Take a loan, buy your car, enjoy and pay slowly what you owe. That is what this Bill is attempting to do, but it is not a simple thing. We will be helping ourselves and the people of Kenya and that is why we are pleading with the House and Members to make history together. Let us help our country together. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Nothing as this has happened in history and that is why we believe that the 12th Parliament will make history by accelerating the construction of our roads so that we can enjoy. Even we in Parliament, three years to come, we want to enjoy for those three years. Whatever happens with Kenyans in 2022 will be decided. If we do this, 90 per cent of Parliamentarians will be re-elected. Another thing that motivated us, as a Committee, was the floods all over the country. Roads have been destroyed and there is no better example of floods and weather changes … ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: As I conclude, one person may be asking if there has been any study to see whether the bond is viable and so on. Yes! The Kenya Roads Board has already done a survey and they presented the report to us yesterday and we were satisfied. They established that going this way is one of the fastest ways of securing a bond because the money to pay the bond is available. It means that we will get the bond at the lowest interest rates than any other because the money is available. The Kshs65 billion will be paid every year. ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: I beg to reply. In doing so, I want to thank the Members for agreeing with the Committee. What touch every constituency are roads. We can talk about other things and debate, but we can never debate about roads. You cannot debate about roads. Every constituency needs roads. I wish to thank the Members for agreeing with the Committee that we need to get out of the way and have a board. Finally, I want to assure the Members that I have taken note of all the contributions. They will build the Report, going forward. With those few remarks, I ... view

• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Application and use of New Builds Low Cost Construction Technology for a further period of 21 days with effect from 1st December, 2019. As I was giving notice yesterday, I further amended that to read that we are asking for 14 days after the resumption of the House in February. The reasons are two. One, the Committee was trying to prosecute the Supplementary Estimates in good time before we go for recess. Two, we also have the Roads Bill which was committed to the Committee and requires urgent attention so that we are able to complete, hopefully and God-willing, before ... view
