• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this road runs from Kisumu through Miwani, Muhoroni all the way to Fort Anam. That is the only tarmacked section of this road. Otherwise, the road goes all the way to Londiani. The tarmacked section of the road is about 60 kilometres, which is very badly damaged. Sometimes back, I was told by the Ministry that this road would be completely overhauled and re-tarmacked. I am wondering whether Kshs9 million is enough to do that kind of work. Otherwise, simply patching this road may not do. I would like the Assistant Minister to confirm whether this ... view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, I raised a concern about drainage along crossroads. Water is one of those things that mess up roads in this country. There is poor drainage along and across our roads. This particular road is one of those that has blocked culverts. The Ministry has allocated Kshs9.6 million to do patching of the same road. What about the work on culverts? Unless the drainage system is properly done, we will end up with the same problem. view

• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Nyanza Province, particularly Kisii, Bondo, Kisumu-Rural and Nyando district where I come from, we have a lot of good fruit trees going to waste. A few years back, we were promised that a fruit processing factory would be put up in Rarieda. When will it be set up in Nyanza Province, so that our fruits do not go to waste, particularly in Rarieda? view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) whether he is aware that the Chinga-Kibigori-Ombey Road (E248) is badly damaged between its junction with Kisumu-Muhoroni Road (E34) and Kibigori Centre; and, (b) what immediate plans he is taking to ensure that the road is repaired and safeguarded against further damage. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while it is true that some work is being done on the road, it is not very satisfactory. This is because one thing that messes up roads is water. That road was damaged by water. Parts that have been repaired will be damaged again. They did some work; however, the road will still be damaged because they did not construct culverts. Previously, a stretch of one kilometre of that road had about four culverts. They, however, just graded the road and forgot about the culverts which are blocked. That means that the road will be ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said he is not aware of the culverts on the stretch of the road in question. I travelled with his officers along that stretch, and we counted the blocked culverts. They know about them. This road is C34; it is tarmacked and several culverts constructed on it before it was re-done a few years back. When it was re-done, the culverts were blocked. Now, all the water flows on the murram road, E248. Now that I have told the Assistant Minister about the situation of the road, what is he going to ... view
