• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am ably guided and, indeed, I have substantially read the whole Committee Report. The amendment of the Chair seeks to change the name ‘Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA)’ to a new one, purely to adopt the issue of PPP and this is already captured in the Bill. We are talking about a national road, which is going to be affected by the causal effect of the amendments in Clause 53 to Clause 56. We ought to be very careful. We do not want litigious points which will make the House look like it ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you have to be seen to be an independent arbiter. There are very few Members in the House. We are raising substantive issues. If you rush it over and we are trying to address ourselves to a certain Clause…It can be passed but I will make this point. When you exclude the PPP programmes from an annual work plan by the Ministry, this is what you are inviting - if you have a stretch of road which is for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: instance, 200 kilometres and in between you have segments of 20 kilometres that the Ministry says that there will be PPP frameworks to cater to those particular roads and open them up to tolling, this particular amendment which we have passed right now - and you are not giving us discourse to express ourselves… view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: It is important that we say it because as we move forward, we need to be heard. I invite for that particular Clause to be recommitted at some point. view

• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I think for congruence and I stand guided, for me to move Part 11A we need to introduce the whole definition of a private road. Otherwise, the import is… view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: The import of this is to introduce private roads and bring congruence. What we have been trying to do with the introduction of PPP frameworks is to address the issue of scarce resources to enable us to develop roads and indeed infrastructure for the public good. This is with precedence because within the water sector we have private water suppliers and in the security sector we have private security suppliers despite this being a Government function. Within the wildlife area we have wildlife sanctuaries which are indeed private but are there to boost the public good in terms of preservation ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: More importantly, when we have emergencies you would want to know the fastest way you can move say a victim of an accident from Point A to Point B and we realise that the traditional road network that was set in the colonial time traverses vast areas which are held by private land owners. The population has now grown. At Independence we were less than five million people. Now we are dealing with an expanded population in excess of 45 million that have encroached into these areas. Indeed, even when we were discussing the Nairobi Metropolitan Bill it was trying ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: identifies that this is a particular route that needs to be followed, it will not have the money to have compulsory acquisition of those particular properties. As such if we allowed privateers… It is already within practice. When I pass through Ngong Road and I want to access the road to Makini, you will find yourself passing through a mall and you already pay for it. When I go to the airport, which is a public road, we still pay at the point of entrance. So, this is not a new issue. That is why I want to move. Hon. ... view
