• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is also a Statement sought by hon. Muluvi, Member for Kitui East, regarding a bridge which has taken too long.

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On hon. Benson Mulu’s issue on stalled projects, I want to say that in the 2013/2014 budgetary allocation of Development, the Ministry was allocated Kshs20.8 billion. In the Financial Year 2014/2015, I am happy to report that we have been allocated Kshs56 billion and Kshs41 billion is for the ongoing projects. That is part of what Mheshimiwa has raised. I do believe now those old projects are going to be completed on time now that, at least, we have some money to go to the ground. view
