• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (a) The main building works were completed on 11th March, 2008 as more traders were allowed to use the facility. The substantial completion certificate was issued to the contractor on 11th March, 2008. The project is currently under defect liability period, which is due to end on 11th March, 2009. During this period, the contractor is correcting any notable defects on the works. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (b) My Ministry is aware that public vehicles are currently using the estate road to the bus park, as a diversion. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: The Ministry has already procured a contractor, under Contract No.MLC/01/10/2007-008, at a cost of Kshs51.8 million to undertake an extra two lane to the bus park, starting at the Jogoo Road/Landhies Road Roundabout. The works are scheduled to commence this month for a contract period of four months. Upon completion of the two lanes, the public vehicles will be routed to the newly constructed road. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, no shoddy work was done. The cause for the diversion, which is what I think is not quite right with the hon. Member, is that, at that time, the market had 426 parking bays, but currently, there are more than 3,000 matatus using the parking space. So, this was not foreseen. The moment this heavy traffic was noted, the Ministry started preparing for a two-lane road to connect the market with the roundabout. So, it is not that the work was shoddily done. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it would not have been possible to know the kind of traffic that would be entering the market. The other reason there is heavy traffic is because of the missing link between Mombasa Road and Jogoo Road, which has since been done. That has also diverted out some traffic.

• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was no variation. Mr. Mbugua alleged that the contractor has been paid about Kshs800 million, but the exact cost was Kshs720 million. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have, indeed, realised that markets are very important, if we are to eradicate poverty and create employment in this country. Therefore, my Ministry is in the process of developing markets in all the major towns in this country. The markets we are proposing to develop will actually give some livelihood to the people, so that hawkers are not seen as enemies, but rather as agents of development. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Concerning investment, it is true that local authorities have not been investing in market. They have just been collecting market fees without even cleaning those markets or ensuring that they have toilets. We have now instructed them that they must use a certain amount of the money they collect to invest in the markets. view
• 17 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: They must feed the cow that gives them milk. We are going to ensure that this is done. We have allowed them to use part of the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF) money to do this. We have said they must reduce the personnel costs on LATF money and invest, at least, 65 per cent of it on capital projects like markets. view
