• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: The survey showed that the project was viable only that there was a big delay from the time the project started up to now. That is what resulted in escalation of costs. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that a general survey was done and not a full feasibility study. From that general survey, it is clear that the project is viable. The council will be in a position to receive Kshs7.3 million a year if they were to charge each of the 200 lorries parking there at night, Kshs100 per night as parking fees. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: The problem is that the initial cost was Kshs28 million and the council did not have the full Ja nuary 29, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a problem we have observed in the councils. However, we are doing certain things to ensure that they give services to wananchi. After all, that is the main purpose of their creation. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: All the town clerks and treasurers who mismanage their councils will, henceforth, not be transferred to other local authorities. They will, instead, be sacked and surcharged. We have realised that when you transfer them to another place, you are just transferring the same problem. view

• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thirdly, the councils have been instructed not to incur any expenditure on a project unless they have the full amount required to complete the project. In this particular project, they did not have the full amount of money to complete the project. They did not even make alternative arrangements to look for extra money. They just proceeded with the project on the basis of faith and hope. We have told councils that if they start a project and they are unable to complete it, that will be deemed to be abuse of office. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Fourthly, councils have been told that by 2011, all debts must be paid. Any local authority which will not have cleared its debts by 2011 will not receive a single penny from LATF. view

• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that, that project is about 2 kilometres from the main town. But that is not a big issue. There are many boda bodas in that place. The truck drivers can use that road to travel from the parking area to town. So, that is not the issue. view
