• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The Municipal Engineer, in collaboration with the District Roads Engineer and the Provincial Engineer, have provided a technical report which was forwarded by the Council to the Kenya Roads Board for financial assistance. A survey and a primary design had already been undertaken by the council. The Bill of Quantities for the box culvert, including massive back-sealing is estimated to cost Kshs112 million. My Ministry has, through the council, liaised with the Kenya Urban Roads Authority for possible funding because this project is far beyond the financial capability of Kitale Municipal Council. view

• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a classic case of the African disease. This bridge was constructed in 1989. A few years down the line, it collapsed. This is one of the reasons Africa continues to be underdeveloped. We do shoddy jobs which require even more money to be rectified. As I speak, even the estimates we received last year of Kshs11 million--- view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that boils down to exactly what I had said. This situation is embarrassing in Africa. We should start putting our House in order. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I explained, this bridge is far beyond the financial capability of Kitale Municipal Council. As a Ministry, we have taken it as a matter of urgency. We are liaising with the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) to see whether they can assist the council to build the bridge. Regarding the cost, initially, it was about Kshs11.2 million. But we are now being informed that it is going to cost more money due to soil erosion by the river. I sympathise with the people of view

• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Kitale and the school children who are forced to use a very long route. We are doing all that we can. We are talking to KRB to allocate some money. That is the best that we can do. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since the new broom in the Ministry started working, we have put the engineers on notice. No shoddy job will, henceforth, be accepted. Any engineer who does not properly supervise the job will not be transferred. He or she will be dismissed so that we can eradicate that problem once and for all. So, things are beginning to look very bright in this Ministry. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he has said that he has disagreed with me. I also disagree with him. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really sympathise with the residents of that area. We are doing all that we can to make sure that Kitale Municipal Council gets money from the Kenya Roads Board. That is because they are the only ones in a position to do the work. The assessment was done about one and half years ago, when the cost was estimated to be Kshs11 million. When this Question was asked to find out whether the cost was varied, I said that the estimate has not been varied. That is because the bridge will require a longer ... view
