• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, we had a major problem with Jera Secondary School. We even had to consult the Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs to 1772 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 4, 2006 know exactly why we were having the prison name being used by a secondary school and that took us a long time. However, we have established that Jera is a secondary school and not a prison. However, we have gone ahead and awarded a tender to Roy's Power Systems. That firm will start work from this month. view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is true. We have contractors who have won more than ten tenders. We had a shortage of contractors because not many people have ventured in this business. However, we have recruited 18 more contractors. We will follow the advise given to us by the hon. Member. Those contractors who have been awarded more tenders than they can handle can off-load them to other people. view
• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of those contractors are unable to do the work. However, the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) also could not supply the required materials at the right time. We have received that list and soon we will tender for pre-qualification for the contractors who will carry out construction work. view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I reply, yesterday I raised a question concerning the treatment of Questions meant to be answered by particular Ministries. Our Ministry has been receiving the same treatment, whereby Questions meant to be answered by our Ministry always appear second or last on the Order Paper. I raised this question earlier on and the Chair ruled that Ministries should be treated equally. view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I complained in the House that some Ministries receive preferential treatment over others. There are Ministries whose Questions appear first, second or third on the Order Paper, while Questions meant to be answered by my Ministry continue being deferred, especially at this time when we have Allotted Days. You ruled that all Ministries should be treated equally, but this has not been done. view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is because yesterday I complained bitterly and the Chair misunderstood my intentions. But that is why I am second today. view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: I am happy now, Mr. Speaker, Sir. June 29, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1725 I beg to reply. (a) The money collected under the Rural Electrification Programme through the 5 per cent Rural Electrification Levy in the last four years is Kshs4 billion. (b) A total of 965 projects, which are spread throughout the country and estimated to cost Kshs5.6 billion, have either benefited or are earmarked to benefit from those funds. In Kerugoya- Kutus, projects estimated to cost a total of Kshs24.2 million have been approved and payments made for their implementation in the last three years. Those are: Kangaita ... view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have answered that question on several occasions. I want to put the matter straight! The NARC Government has never collected a single cent from customers. We said that those groups which paid some money can come and claim it back, or wait for our new programmes. If they decide to wait, they will be covered accordingly. view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, all the natural resources belong to the Government. You do not benefit from a natural resource because it is generated in your own constituency. It is for all Kenyans. However, I am sure the hon. Member has benefited from the 965 projects. view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are implementing 965 projects throughout Kenya. If hon. Members would like to divide the money per each constituency, we can use the same system that is used in the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). It is for them to decide. view
