• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is need for the Government to work together with the private sector on incentive packages for corporations to support youth employment, entrepreneurship and employability. Both the Government and the private sector should dedicate, at least, 30 per cent of their procurement to youth enterprises. The wages payable to the youth under the KKV are regulated by minimum wage guidelines issued by the Ministry of Labour. The assets and social benefits created under the KKV Programme such as expanded forest cover, water supply, sanitation facilities, small scale irrigation projects and job skills are for the long term. ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will undertake to follow up on the issue of outstanding payments. I will take Imenti Central as an example. Indeed, it has to be made clear that, as we move to Phase II, all the outstanding issues in Phase I need to be dealt view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: with. I will take up the issue raised by Mr. Benjamin Langat with regard to enslaving our youth. In the Statement, I said that KKV II has been designed for a longer period and it has a very specific component which will involve internship, training and enhancing the skills of the youth. This is the first step to make sure that they get the necessary skills and make them marketable once they have the skills. The issue of labour intensive jobs is one component but there is more emphasis now on internship. I have noted the concerns that, that programme ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the audit process for the first phase is definitely being undertaken. I would like to point out that normally in a programme like this, an institution like the World Bank would not want to support it, if there is no clear mechanism of ensuring that we will institute an audit process. This is also being intensified so that the audit process can be made much better. This, of course, will also deal with the issues raised by Mr. Warugongo and hon. Dr. Nuh, when it comes to either embezzlement, or the high cost of administration. ... view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these were largely supervisory costs incurred by people who were doing supervision in this area. It entailed things like transportation cost and so forth. view
• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I was saying that this can be improved. I may not have a complete array of all the administrative costs, but definitely there were people who were designated to supervise and oversee the running of the various programmes. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Konoin Constituency was one of the 210 constituencies that were to benefit from the ESP Market component. The delay in construction of the fresh produce market in Konoin Constituency was caused by three main factors. One is that the project was advertized by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance on 25th September, 2009 and handled through the CDF framework. However, the implementation framework was changed on 13th January, 2010. The tender document and minutes of the CDF were forwarded to my Ministry for validation, award and ... view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Two, the Ministerial Tender Committee awarded the tender on 7th April, 2010. However, the necessary pre-contract documents; the performance bonds, programme of works and cash flows were presented on 28th September and the contract signed with Messrs. Wenkori Building and Civil Engineering Contractors Limited the same day. (b) The order to commence works was issued on 4th October, 2010. I, however, wish to make some correction here. You will recall that when I answered this Question on Wednesday, last week, I had said that one of the delays in the construction of the Kaptebengwet Fresh Produce Market in Konoin District ... view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to, very candidly, admit that the whole initiation of the ESP markets generated some confusion because the first tendering process was under the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance. It advertised first and then the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government took over. I want to acknowledge that, indeed, there were some errors and, in fact, the first advertisement by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance which was published - I can produce that advert here - was for ... view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will repeat exactly what I said. We will consult with the remaining areas where we have clearly identified issues such as lack of land. We want to have a Committee from the Ministry working with the respective constituencies that have been identified so that we can complete that aspect by the end of March. The contractors will then go on site to prevent the resources from being returned to the Treasury. view
