• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could he repeat the question? view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are in touch with the Treasury. I can undertake that we will definitely work very closely with the Treasury, so that where there is any delay, for whatever reason, the resources can then be re-voted in the next financial year. The issue of creating a Fund may take slightly longer and would also view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: require further consultation with the Treasury. As of now, the understanding is that, the funds, if not utilized, would be re-voted. We shall make sure that the Treasury does that. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have here with me the minutes of a meeting of the Konoin Constituency Development Committee held on 16th February, 2010. The Chairperson was Ms. Susan Rono Chepkairor. In the minutes, they are the ones who awarded the tender to Wilkori. So, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government was just validating. The decision, choice, and evaluation were done by the constituency. Really, if this contractor had a problem, this Committee should have been able to detect it! However, the hon. Member, Mr. Koech, has already raised this issue with me ... view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was answering the Question, I did not say that the contractor will complete work by March. I said that, in the case of the market, the contractor is being awarded the site on 2nd March, 2011, that is, tomorrow. I am not, therefore, avoiding answering the question whatsoever. With regard to the one that relates to Mr. Koech’s constituency, that becomes a different subject which we need to follow and get details of that specific contract. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, where there is a double award of contracts--- I said that there was some confusion. There was migration from the Treasury tendering process to the CDF process, and finally to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government. Indeed, some mischief transpired in some of these areas – let me not be specific about the numbers. We are, however, following the matter closely and we shall definitely hold to account those who ended up signing more than one contract. That is clearly a very serious mistake. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have guidelines with me at the moment, but it is clear that upon awarding the contract we are working together with the District Works Officers. This is because the Ministry of Government itself does not have the capacity of having all these officers there. The District Works Officers are helping us in the process of monitoring and evaluating the performance of these contractors before any payment is made. Indeed, before payments are released, the signature of the District Works Officer in that given area is necessary so that it can be used in ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to make a Statement on the current drought situation in the country. It is fairly detailed, so I would like the House to bear with me on this. I am issuing this Statement on behalf of the Prime Minister. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I recently made a tour of parts of eastern--- view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are going by the issue of what appears on the Order Paper today. I think what is listed is a report on the drought situation. But I take note that the hon. Member would like the House to be appraised on the issue of Ivory Coast and I will undertake to do so at the next Prime Minister’s Time. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I recently made a tour of parts of Eastern and North Eastern counties to assess the negative effects of the droughts currently ravaging parts of the country. The worst affected larger districts include Garissa, Marsabit, Isiolo, Tana River, Tharaka, Wajir, Mandera, West Pokot, Samburu, Baringo, Kajiado, Makueni, Kwale, Kilifi and Turkana. The Government’s response to the drought crisis is being co-ordinated by the Crisis Response Centre (CRC) and the National Disaster Operation Centre (NDOC). The CRC and the NDOC carry out frequent assessments of the drought situation on the ground, design mitigation measures and co-ordinate the interventions ... view
