• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead this House that the Ministry was undergoing institutional reforms whereas the issue of roads has been there? There is nothing about construction of roads and the NEMA requirements that required institutional reforms. This is simply a procedure. I have been in that Ministry and even before I left, it was just a procedure. So, you cannot say that your officers forgot because you were undergoing institutional reforms. I think he is misleading this House. view

• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 13th September this year, in answer to a Question regarding the same project, the Minister stated, having heard my request, that he was going to send a team of engineers to inspect, confirm and ensure that they restored confidence in the public. The usage of the section of the road which is currently not usable would be restored. He said this in this House. To this day, no officers have come and the section that he referred to is not passable. That means that the residents of Ndeiya, whole division, cannot get to the main road. ... view
• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second and in doing so, I will just use a few words. First and foremost, I would like to thank all the applicants who showed interest to work with the National Assembly, among them members of our staff. Secondly, I want to commend the managing partners of PricewaterhouseCoopers who did a thorough job. I saw that they were committed, brought us a comprehensive report and explained every step that they had taken. We were convinced that whatever they did merited our comments and recommendations. Thirdly, I want to congratulate my colleagues. I know ... view

• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) when the contract for Thogoto-Mutarakwa Road was awarded and when the contractor will commence work; (b) what the scope of work done on the section of the road between Mutarakwa and Thogoto Road is and how much has been paid so far; and, (c) when the contractor is supposed to complete the road works. view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer. However, from the onset, I would like to register my disappointment by the fact the Assistant Minister is only saying that the work will be finished in April, 2013; that is, seven months from now. This is a contract which is 18 months. So, 11 months which translate to 60 per cent has been expended. What has been paid roughly represents 10 per cent. What is the Assistant Minister going to do to ensure that in only seven months 90 per cent of the funds will ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the contractor took one section between Mutarakwa and Limuru. This section had tarmac. He removed that tarmac and brought loads of soil which he purports to be murram. That is not the issue because there is quality control and I expect that to come from the technocrats. The issue is that that particular section of the road has up to now been closed to the public. Therefore, the public cannot use the road between Mutarakwa and Limuru which is one of the busiest roads leading to the market. I am from the ground now and the ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also have farmers in Limuru who benefit from the sale of tea. The fact of the matter, just like Mr. Ruto has said is that the sales will definitely go down if the cess is increased. I have listened to the Assistant Minister say how they will share the additional tax, but I have not heard any benefits which you have passed to the farmer. If the sales go down, definitely, the most likely thing that will happen is that the price of tea for the farmer will be low. Can you tell us ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I made interjection even before hon. Yinda asked his question. view
