Mr. Temporary Deputy Minister, Sir, as we move along, I must admit that, indeed, there are some weaknesses in our local authorities across the country when it comes to the issue of enforcing by-laws; by-laws are there but we have had a major weakness either due to corrupt practices or through politicization at local levels. This has, indeed, had an impact on the efforts of local authorities to enforce the law. However, on record, we have been consulting with other relevant Ministries and as I speak now, we have already submitted a new set of regulations to the Attorney-Generalâs Chamber ...

On 20th January 2010, the Ministry of Local Government received the evaluation report from the CDF office in Limuru through the CDF secretariat and using the Report the tender was awarded to Top Plus Contractors on 7th April 2010. In spite of correspondences between both ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like at this stage to really apologize to the hon. Member for Limuru. As I said, there was the misplacement of the Bills of Quantities specifically for Limuru.

I have undertaken that the reconstruction of the Bills of Quantities is being undertaken so that the contract can be executed and work commenced in two weeks. I hope with that apology, this corrective action has been taken.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just tabled the list of the status of all the projects throughout the 210 constituencies. Indeed, there are some that are on schedule and others are behind schedule, if you look at the list. One of the things that I wish to point out is that the initial formatting of this project did generate some issues in terms of identifying the contactors, having the processes moving from the Treasury to the CDF office and then back to the Local Government. This definitely resulted in some delays to some of these projects. I wish to ...
