• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The construction of Mbagathi Way began on 19th August, 2005 and the programmed completion date was 18th August, 2006. This being the first major concrete pavement project in the country, some technical and operational problems were experienced, which in turn delayed the project's completion. The expected date of completion is now 30th June, 2007. (b) The road is being constructed at a contract sum of Kshs445,363,927.20. Payments made to the contractor as at 31st March, 2007 amount to Kshs318,627,140.02. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Kenya Charity Sweepstake has a total of 100 kiosks in Nairobi. (b) Kenya Charity Sweepstake is a private company. It is the responsibility of the company to intensify its marketing and sales strategy in order to compete with other private lotteries.

Kenya Charity Sweepstake is, therefore, accorded the same treatment as other private lottery operators. view

• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya Charity Sweepstake has a long history. In the past, the line between private sector and Government was grey. It was almost blurred. However, it is a private company. I know that the Managing Director is called Maj. David Vauden. He has a Board of Directors. This information can be made available to the House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I volunteer further information? We are in the process of starting a national lottery. The discussions and arrangements are at a very advanced stage. Of course, when that comes about, many operators will be asked to ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the normal circumstances, a national lottery, and I am here not referring to Kenya Charity Sweepstake which operate slightly differently, would allocate, say, 12 per cent to the operator as the expenses, 50 per cent to prizes for the winners and 25 per cent to good causes. Normally, that is how national lotteries operate. I can get the information as far as the Kenya Charity Sweepstake is concerned, but it runs more or less on the same level. There was also a question which was asked about disbursement of cheques through the Provincial Adminstration. This ... view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have in our Ministry the Betting Control and Licensing Board and any undisposed of prizes are surrendered to it. It then uses the money like Appropriation-in-Aid (A-in-A). view
• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my written answer, I mentioned that organisations, including Celtel, Safaricom and any other industrial organisation can use a lottery to promote their products. That is exactly what Safaricom and Celtel are doing. They are not in the lottery business; they are in the communication business. view
