• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Arising from studies undertaken earlier and which gave rise to the Kenya Urban Transport Infrastructure Project (KUTIP), various recommendations were made that, when implemented to the full, will alleviate the problems of traffic congestion in our major cities. Some of the recommendations include:- Road networking development, including the construction of missing links, bypasses, radial and circumvential road system and non-motorised transport facilities. Secondly, signalization of intersections within the Central Business District (CBD), improvement of public transport, including bus incentives and priority policies, restructuring of bus routes, introduction of shuttle bus systems as well ... view

• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very, very important question in the sense that Kenyans are really suffering, particularly in the morning and evening because of traffic jams. All those steps have started; some are on the way, some are ongoing and the others will be finished as soon as is practically possible. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need not mention that, for example, if you take Nairobi, we have already started on the missing bypasses and links. I am also aware that the Minister for Nairobi Metropolitan Development is also working on flyovers. So, those are ongoing projects. Some have ... view

• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already said that, about 20 percent of the works are ongoing and I have given examples of the missing bypasses and linkages, which are already under construction.

• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the Clerk to the Municipal Council of Lodwar forged minutes purporting that a meeting of the council held on 27th May, 2008, authorized the alteration of bank signatories. However, the council held a meeting on 26th May, 2008, and resolved to remove the name and signature of Mr. Festus Lothoi from the council's bank account since he was not the council's permanent employee. (b) I hereby table minutes of the special full council meeting held on 26th May, 2008; minutes of the special full council ... view

• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the letter sending the Town Clerk on leave has already been issued. It should be with him within the next two days. So, immediately he receives it, he will proceed on leave, but I can even do better. Once I go back to the office, I can actually inform the Town Clerk to proceed on leave while awaiting the letter, if that will expedite the issue. I appreciate what my friend, hon. Ethuro, is saying but it is not possible for the Ministry's officials to audit and inspect all the l75 local authorities in the ... view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a Ministry, we have made a decision that we will, as much as possible, co-operate with the Members of Parliament.

• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have also, as a Ministry, agreed that we shall not act in vain.

Therefore, as soon as I go back to the office, I will give instructions that, within a month, this report must be submitted to the Ministry. view
