Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me first thank the Assistant Minister for the work he is doing on the Nyahururu-Nyeri Road. However, I would like him to clarify a few points.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, part âaâ of my Question was whether the two roads are earmarked for tarmacking. The Assistant Minister gave me a very clear answer. However, he did not clarify when the designing of the Kanyagia-Talau- Endarasha-Watuka-Bellevue-Githura-Nairutia Road will be done. Secondly, most of the people in Nyeri have to pass Nairobi to go to the Rift Valley and the people in Embu and Kirinyaga do the same. Could the Assistant Minister find a way of making the road a bit shorter?

9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Assistant Minister for answering my Question, there are several questions arising out of his answer. First of all, this work was done without the knowledge of the leaders and the community on the ground. The people who did the work went into the forest, did shoddy work, came out and disappeared without uttering a word to the Member of Parliament, the District Commissioner, the District Officer, the councillor or members of the public. Secondly, we are told that the work was done to completion. Could the Assistant Minister tell us how much money ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, who is more powerful between the District Forest Officer and the Assistant Minister? How can an officer stop such a project that will benefit members of the public? In fact, it is a big joke to hear that the District Forest Officer can stop such a project which has been funded to benefit the community.
