• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you can give me only two hours, I will go and bring the letter now. I have the letter. view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I answered this Question last week. What was left was for me to table the list under part “b” because I had forgotten the list in my office. The list indicates the amounts allocated to each district. I do hereby table the list showing districts under normal allocation of Government funds and districts under allocation of the Economic Stimulus Programme Fund (ESPF). view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the figures for the stimulus package came from the Treasury. The Kshs30 million were estimates. In Phase I, the Treasury gave 36 districts the funds in the last financial year. In this financial year, they gave 39 districts. If there are any variations, they could be arising out of funding of districts as I stated earlier. view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had answered this Question. I think I am answering it for the third time. I do not know whether I should continue. It is true that the ESPF in phases I and II covered 75 districts as indicated by the Treasury. We cannot fund all the 284 districts. The resources are simply not adequate. There have been ongoing projects in the past. The Question asked by the Member for view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, now I appreciate why Standing Orders prohibit repetition. The hon. Member could read the HANSARD. The Question was not about all stimulus packages. Even in my own constituency, I received funds from the ESPF for constructing a dispensary and a primary school. I was not coming here to answer questions about all ESP funded projects. I was coming specifically for funds allocated by the Treasury for the construction of district headquarters. Now, he is talking about construction of other things. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have dealt with this matter-- view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if indeed the district has not received funds, then it means that we are still waiting for bills of quantities and drawings. In fact, the funds are there. view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are two sets of funds as I had indicated earlier. There are funds through normal allocation through the Ministry. Districts are allocated funds on an annual basis. They could be allocated Kshs5 million or Kshs10 million over a period of two or three years. Then there are funds which were set aside in the last two financial years from the ESPF, to be given to 75 districts in two phases. So, the fact that we have given one district Kshs10 million through the Ministry allocation and another Kshs5 million through the Ministry allocation means that the ... view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will have to check again whether the figures for Narok South are correct. But when we start a project, we do it over a period of three years. I am not very sure whether the funds were given earlier on, but clearly Kshs5 million cannot complete a district headquarters. view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: I will do so, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Assistant’s Chief Office, Harambee Sub-location was set up in 1998 after relocating the Assistant Chief from the District Officer’s office in Makadara to Plot Nos.C29 and C31 in Harambee Estate, Infield. In May, 2010, Mr. Moses Ndung’u, a private developer claimed ownership of the land. The Government wrote to the Town Clerk, Nairobi City Council on 12th May, 2010 to verify the ownership of the said parcels of land. On 17th May, 2010, the Town Clerk confirmed that Plot Nos.C29 and C31 belonged to Mr. Moses Ndung’u of P.O. Box 795, ... view
