• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the right Ministry and Minister is answering this Question. Until the Nairobi Metropolitan Act has been enacted by this House, all these listed issues must be referred to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government. view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the completed works are not shoddy. The main problem was that the contractor had failed to complete the works. In fact, even as a Ministry, we are embarrassed by the delay. We have already taken drastic action! We have charged him liquidated damages at the rate of Kshs15,000 per day up to a maximum of 5 per cent of the contractual work. The Ministry has now made a decision. We are going to terminate it and re-tender the works because we cannot keep on hoping that, that contractor is going to finish the work. Even if we ... view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that, even as a Ministry, we are embarrassed by the speed at which this contractor has worked. That is why we have been charging him liquidated damages of Kshs15,000 per day. Our patience is now over and we are going to cancel the contract and re-tender it. However, I would like to assure this House that the City Council of Nairobi will not lose any money, because he has been paid only 85 per cent of the contract sum, but the works done on average constitute 90 per cent. So, we are not going ... view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that we can endeavour to give this Ministerial Statement on Tuesday next week. view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Much obliged! SUSPENSION OF KENYAN DELEGATION TO THE UN FORUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. A few minutes ago, Mr. Kamama raised a very fundamental point of order and asked whether this Bill has been approved by the Cabinet; it is a Government-sponsored Bill, and the Minister is here. Is the Assistant Minister in order to totally oppose and dismiss the Bill? You did not give a ruling. Without first resigning, he has said that he is totalling opposed to it; he dismissed it and said that it has nothing to offer. I think you need to give a ruling! view
• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: I think he needs to resign first, so that we can allow him to oppose and dismiss the Bill. view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that there are some matatus from Eastlands still sneaking into the CBD. However, the City Council has noticed this anomaly and has informed a senior traffic police officer to take responsibility as required by the law. The City Council has also instructed its enforcement officers to intercept and impound any matatu from Eastlands found in the CBD looking for business. For example, 174 and 90 matatus were impounded in the months of August and September respectively. In October, we impounded 870 matatus that had sneaked into the ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the law is crystal clear. Matatus from Eastlands must pick and drop passengers at Muthurwa Bus Stop. All the other operators are adhering to this rule. The ones from Thika Road are operating from the Globe Cinema Roundabout, and those from Dagoretti are operating from the Railway Bus Stop. What is so special about matatus from Eastlands, so that they cannot adhere to the law? This has not failed. It is the matatus that are sneaking into the CBD. When the operators know that the policemen are at Muthurwa Market, they use Mombasa Road to sneak ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to differ with the hon. Member. Matatus are not a nuisance. They are providing a fundamental and important service to this nation. Many wananchi depend on matatus. They do not have personal vehicles. They are not a nuisance but they must adhere to the law. view
