• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware that the KACC is investigating anybody in Limuru or Nairobi at this particular point in time. Secondly, I think when the KACC is undertaking any investigations, it does not announce that it is moving in on any particular person, unless it wishes to do so. They could or could not be investigating, but as of now, I am not aware that they are investigating any particular person as indicated by the Member for Makadara. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the information the hon. Member has presented to me is very important. It seems to be contradicting what has view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: been presented to me. I would wish to undertake to respond to that specific issue more categorically after further investigations. Be that as it may, let me state that in certain instances, we have had conflicts as to issues of the site. I may not address Ikolomani specifically but, in certain areas, we have had conflicts o the site; sometimes with the CDF committees and sometimes with the Ministry, when they are awarding specific sites to particular persons to construct. Those are some of the issues that have necessitated or caused delay and require reconciliation. But in the case of ... view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am prepared to give the response by Thursday this week. I also want to state that we shall not allow any process of double accounting in the construction. That is because we know very specifically the votes for the special produce markets. We also know what is earmarked for other projects by the various local authorities. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is sending out regular inspection teams in clusters, so that they can keep a tab on what is happening in those fresh produce markets. No certificates can be paid - and should not be paid - until work has been verified and the necessary counter signatures by the relevant technical officers are on that paper to qualify for payment. So, we are monitoring to make sure that nobody is getting money for no work done. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not avoided the question. First of all, the councillors are not supposed to be involved in that programme. There are technical officers who inspect and validate the certificates before they are paid. No payment will be made until the proper documentation accompanies that certificate. That is what I have said. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was dealing with the fresh produce market projects. But I am prepared to also table--- In fact, I think I have done so before. But I am prepared to table again the list of the other markets that are being constructed, which are not part of the Economic Stimulus Projects. I will be willing on Thursday, to also shed some light on the Kibuye Market. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is exactly what I said. I am prepared to table here a list of all other markets that are not part of the Economic Stimulus Programme on Thursday. view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I answered the Question that hon. Kones is referring to, I remember very well that I also indicated that the recommendation for these contractors were coming from the constituencies through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) committees. So, part of the dilemma that we got into in this particular case was that the initial--- view
• 14 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I dealt with that particular Question sometime back, and I do not know why we are going back to it. If it means that I reintroduce, from the HANSARD, the responses I gave for that particular Question, I think that will be valuable to the House; I am being made to go back to memory, but I know I am on record in the HANSARD dealing specifically with that particular contractor. view
