• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not misleading the House. What I said was that the re-voted amounts are amounts allocated to ensure that those programmes continue. I was basically trying to say that we have no intention of retaining those funds. Those funds will be made available to the line Ministries to ensure that these projects are complete. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, there is that component and we are in the process of ensuring that we do conduct that particular evaluation. In many areas, we have had good reports especially from a number of Ministries like the Ministry of Fisheries Development, the Ministry of Education, the recruitment of teachers and nurses, and the public health institutions that are being built. Ultimately, when these projects are completed in various parts of the country, we intend to produce a report to show the full impact of this particular programme. That report will be brought before this House. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason we came up with that framework was because we wanted the involvement of local leaders, especially in the process of identifying areas where these projects were to be built. We wanted monitoring of the tendering and awarding process so as to bring greater accountability at the grassroots level. If the hon.

• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue that the hon. Member is raising is part of an overall Government programme where we are trying to move from outright purchasing to leasing. The framework is being developed. This framework is for leasing not only ambulances, but also other Government vehicles. The idea was to, first and foremost, try to reduce the cost of operating vehicles in various Ministries, while at the same time being able to extend services. Once the framework is ready, we will begin the process of leasing. So, no company has been identified at all. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have said, this is part of an overall Government programme in terms of shifting the manner in which we provide transport services for the Government. We are developing that framework which will include ambulances as well. The framework is being prepared and the idea is for us to be able to have as many vehicles as possible within the resources that we have. If we were to go on and possibly say that we are going to purchase these vehicles, the amount available would probably not allow every constituency to be provided, which is ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the hon. Member and assure him that it is the intention of the Ministry of Finance and, indeed, the Government as a whole, to ensure that these projects are fast-tracked and completed within this particular fiscal year. I take note of the delays and do apologize. But the issues revolving around the delay are being tackled and handled and we are sure that we will be able to complete these projects as was originally envisioned. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologise for coming late. The hon. Member is correct in what he has said. He has not received a copy of the written answer because this was a Question that required us to consult another Ministry and we are yet to complete that. So, I request for your indulgence to have this Question deferred until we are ready to answer it. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can give me another week. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
