• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am actually shocked by the question from the hon. Member. Since Independence, we have been trying to get a tarmac road all the way to Moyale. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the first time, we are now funding a road to Moyale. We are already more than three-quarters of the way. When that is done, it will open up that area. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also have the Lamu Port Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor (LAPSSET) Project where, again, we are planning to do a road to open up that area. We now have funding for the Dongo Kundu project in Mombasa that will open up the area around Kwale and the Southern part of Kenya. These projects are evenly distributed. I would like somebody to challenge me because there is this feeling that there are certain regions which are being favoured. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to electricity, all constituencies get money for the Rural Electrification Programme (REP). So, I am surprised; where does that money go to in his constituency? I am surprised to know that there is no electricity in his constituency. This is very serious! We need an investigation to find out where the money allocated for REP in that constituency goes to. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these are current projects and so far, none has stalled. I think the hon. Members will recall that during the first five years of the administration of President Kibaki, he gave instructions that all the abandoned and stalled projects must be completed. So, for the first five years, President Kibaki did not begin any new project. Instead, he completed the famous Nyanza Provincial Headquarters, which was there 32 years. The National Youth Service (NYS) houses opposite Utalii Hotel, which were there for more than 25 years, have also been completed. So, most projects have been completed. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, speaking about Homa Bay, we went to the funeral of our dear friend, the late Orwa Ojode, by road and it was tarmacked. Regarding Homa Town, I have received a request that the road just passes through the town but there are no roads done inside the town. I have received that request and we are considering it. Surely, that shows that there is development. Imagine travelling by road from here all the way to the late Orwa Ojode’s house on tarmac road! Does that not really show that development is evenly spread out? view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that the Government got a loan from Japan and it was supposed to be used to modernize KBC. But KBC has never remitted a single cent to the lender. So, it is the Government of Kenya which has been paying for them. In fact, now we have received a request that we convert this into a grant, because KBC is not paying. It is really a waste of time trying to ask KBC to pay this loan, because it will never be able to pay. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The Government is doing it! view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is one of the very sad episodes in this country When countries were going FM, we were getting a loan from the Japanese for a medium wave facility. Basically, in my view, I think they just dumped all the equipment that they did not need. But, surely, we do not blame the lender. We blame the borrower for not being careful enough not to buy obsolete equipment. The KBC has been unable to pay a single cent. It is the Government of Kenya which has been paying and we have now received a request that ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, formally, we were not showing that county by county but from this year’s Budget, it is now possible to know how much will go to each county. However, previously it was not. For example, the Isiolo–Mandera–Moyale Road falls under a number of counties. Where do you assign it? The road from Isiolo to Turbi and then to Merille River is done. Surely, that is in North Eastern Province. We are fully funding this and we have received money from Kuwait for the Wajir–Modogashe Road. So, I would like to assure this House that we are now ... view
