• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have started doing so. I had the same case in my own constituency where a contractor has taken two-and-a-half years to complete a project that was not worth even Kshs4 million. I would like to receive all those complaints. We are deregistering them. view
• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are organising an inspection tour. We will start from North Eastern Kenya. I will be consulting hon. Members to accompany us in the tour of these projects. We will practically visit each province, sample out some of these projects and see how we can speed them up. view
• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Contracts for construction works for Kikoko, Kalongo and Kaumoni markets have already been awarded to M/s Guy Contractors and M/s ABB Kenya who are expected to be at the sites within the course of this month. I want to confirm that they are already on site. The expected date of completion is 30th June, 2007. Kisyani Market will be considered for financing by the Ministry during 2007/2008 Financial Year. view
• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like the hon. Members to understand April 17, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 643 that, as a Ministry, we have done our level best. We have provided the contractors with materials, but the problem is that they took more projects than they could handle. That is the problem we are experiencing now. We are now taking away contracts from those contractors who have more projects than they can handle and giving them out to other contractors. Also, we have already interviewed more contractors and we are awarding additional contracts. But in the hon. Member's ... view
• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have tabled that information many times. Any hon. Member of Parliament who would like to know what is going on in his or her constituency can always come to our office, and he or she will be given the list of what is going on in his or her constituency. view
• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the age of performance contracts. Even those people who work with the KPLC are under performance contracts. Ministers and Assistant Ministers are also under performance contracts. The issue is not about the contractors coming because they are doing a favour to us; it is because they must perform. We will use every possible way and means to ensure that they are properly facilitated and that they are on the ground working. view
• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the tradition of this House is that whenever a Minister lays a document on the Table of this House, it is now the initiative of the hon. Members of Parliament, who would like to get more information, to get copies of that document from the Clerk. view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to continue attacking my Ministry while he knows for sure that we are undertaking equal distribution of power in all the 170 constituencies. He cannot substantiate to the contrary and say that we are not working. It is only one project that was taken over in his constituency and others are already going on. view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. For the record of the House, if I mention the word "hummer" I will mean the "hammer" that is used by carpenters. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the President's Speech. It contains issues that are relevant to this country. We were used to President's Speeches being repeated over the years, but nothing used to happen. However, it is in the records that what the President promised in 2003, 2004 and 2005 has been achieved by over 70 per cent. We cannot deny ... view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: goes through. How many years do they spend in courts seeking justice? We know our judges are over-worked. Some of us with cases in court are very happy. As long as they remain there for ten or 20 years, we shall continue making sure that the wheels of justice are not in motion. We can, therefore, spend our time in public rallies complaining that we are being persecuted if we are taken to court. However, we know the courts cannot move because of the few numbers of judges. Secondly, if you look at the economic implications of this, the people ... view
