• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: instead of wahandisi. I want it to go on record that the Swahili word for engineers is “ wahandisi”. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I want to look back at the road we have walked from the time of Independence to date. When we made some reforms in the transport sector with all the Authorities created, a lot has been achieved by the Kenya Government. On top of that, this Bill will clear and make the way better for the implementation of the road network in our country. There is no country which advances economically or develops if its road network is wanting. We have been all over the world and we have seen what a good road network can do. Investors can only ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: President Kibaki‟s Government did a lot in the roads sector, but I believe even the Jubilee Government is doing a lot, more so with the cleaning of the law and implementing most of the projects that had been started by President Kibaki‟s Government. We are starting new roads and Taveta is a beneficiary. We have a road which has been done by the Jubilee Government. Apart from that, I know several roads all over the country are being constructed by the Jubilee Government, of course, not mentioning the completion of works on roads which had been started during the Kibaki ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill clears the naughtiness which has been there. Governors have been taking advantage of that grey area. Roads which were being allocated funds by KeRRA in our rural areas were supposedly being redone by the county governments. Even when they are in a hurry pretending that they are working, in some instances, they have brought down electricity poles. The want to look like they are working yet the national Government through KeRRA had implemented the murraming of roads. They come in with their graders and destroy even what had been done. I have seen this in my county and ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: As we have done the division of revenue between the national Government and county governments, there is quite some amount of money that goes to county governments which is supposedly allocated to the roads sector yet it does not seem to do what it ought to. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Most of our roads become impassable when it rains. Sometime last year, 27 governors out of 47, went to court. Unfortunately, my governor was one of them. They sought to block the implementation of the road network especially Class “D” and “E” roads. This Bill brings to rest the confusion that was there. There is no country which can talk about development if it has not improved its road network. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: At this juncture, I take this opportunity to thank the Jubilee Government for ending the confusion between the national Government and county governments and for coming up with two strong Authorities. The KeNHA is already there, but we intend to add it more work and establish KeNSRA to cater for what the other Authorities have been catering for. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: It is not enough to have these big names if we are not going to give them enough money. I am worried about one issue. This is the long time it takes to send money from the Exchequer to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and finally to the Authorities. I hope the national The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Government will look into it to see means and ways of making sure that the delays are removed and the grey areas in terms of transfer of funding for implementation of these projects is made as smooth as possible. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill is long overdue. It is now time for us to move on and do our road network and invite investors. Our President has been travelling all over the world to impress upon other people to come and invest in Kenya and entice tourists to visit our country. But it will not be good enough if the road network is not improved. We need a good road network and this will only be possible once we remove all these grey areas. I urge all my colleagues to move with speed and pass this Bill, so that it can be ... view
