I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. On behalf of the Committee, I want to support this amendment. I want to plead with the Members of the Committee to join the Budget and Appropriations Committee which proposed the amendment. The reason of the amendment is to rationalise the money that is going to build county headquarters. There are counties which were not even district headquarters. They did not have a small structure where the governor’s office would be. The counties which have been mentioned were considered. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified ...

What happened in this Budget was abnormal. How can you allocate, in your own reasoning, one county headquarter to be completed with Kshs3million? Tharaka Nithi was allocated that amount and then another county was given more than Kshs300million. That is why we want to support this rationale from the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It is not marginalisation. Every county headquarter is getting more than Kshs100million. That is equitable share of resources. An Hon. Member has said that we should monitor implementation of those projects. It is the responsibility of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing to monitor ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this golden opportunity. I am happy and I would like to join my colleagues in appreciating the work done by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Of course, we all worked very hard because we were prosecuting two items Supplementary Estimates II and the Budget. I want to thank everyone. Further, in their Report, they agreed with our proposals in this manner: They agreed to allocate Ksh186.4 billion to the Department for Infrastructure Road Transport; Kshs93.8 billion to the State Department of Transport, State Department for Shipping and Maritime - Kshs2.38 billion and State ...

people misunderstand the infrastructure bond because it includes other things like water. For this one, I want to plead with the House to agree with the Committee the need to float a roads bond under the KRB of between Kshs200 and Kshs500 billion. This will really transform this country and in less than three or four years, we would have done the 10,000 kilometers of roads and ensure every part of this country gets a “black top” road. The question that comes is how the securities and bonds pay. As a Committee we have thought on behalf of the House ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It was awarded under the annuity program and it is the most expensive in the world. Therefore, working on behalf of the House as a Committee, we want the House to agree with us that we take that money rather than give some few individuals under annuity to securitise our roads to bond and build more roads. We can get between Kshs200 and Kshs500 billion and build roads in the whole country in less than three or five years.

How do we measure our roads in terms of construction? Low volume of roads per kilometer at Kshs40 million; conventional roads in rural areas at Kshs80 million; and highways between Kshs90 million and Kshs120 million. This is Uhuru Highway and other big ones used by big lorries. Why are we spending Kshs240 million on a road going to somewhere even though it will be used by people? I think we should spend our money in a good way which is what I am proposing. Secondly, in terms of roads going forward, there is something which was brought by the National ...
