• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The total budget for the ESP for the 2009/2010 Financial Year was Kshs22 billion and in the 2010/2011 Financial Year, an additional allocation of Kshs24.7 billion was made in the Budget under the Economic Recovery and Poverty Alleviation and Regional Development Programme. (b) I am aware that there are some delays in the implementation of ESP. That has been occasioned by a number of factors, among them land issues, National Environment Management Agency (NEMA) issues and delay in the re-vote of the amounts of the previous year. (c) The issues that ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we stand now, we have already had meetings with the various line Ministries that are involved. We are also meeting with the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Committee. We started our meetings on Monday and Mr. Nyamai is a member of that Committee. I believe we are making tremendous progress because even the funds that had been delayed as a result of re- voting, the line Ministries have now the authority to expend those resources and we are, indeed, well underway. The issues relating to NEMA have also been resolved and so I believe that we ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, as I indicated, there were some original teething problems which I think hon. Members are aware of. We were developing the framework from the very beginning. So, as I even indicated in my Budget Speech, there were delays before we could start the programme. However, that said and done, we are co-ordinating with line Ministries and I am happy to say that even as we met with the Departmental Committee that is supervising that particular project, the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Fisheries Development and the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation are reporting good ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that, again, is an issue that has been raised by the Departmental Committee and this is an issue that has to do with the bill of quantities that are produced by the Ministry of Public Works. In some instances, there are some contradictions between the amounts that are paid per classroom, for example, under the CDF and the bills of quantities that are produced by the Ministry of Public Works. That is an issue that is being dealt with and handled by the Ministry of Public Works. We acknowledge that there is that difference and, indeed, ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika, mfumo ambao tulitumia ni mfumo ambao ulikuwa unalenga kuhakikisha ya kwamba, haswa, upande wa afya ya umma, hospitali zitajengwa katika maeneo ya rural areas. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Najua kulikuwa na shida--- view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Nashukuru. Tuna mipango ya kuhakikisha kwamba tumejenga hospitali kubwa katika miji yetu mikubwa ili huo mpango ukiingia uwe wa kufaidi miji mikubwa kama Mombasa, Nairobi, Kisumu na kwingineko. Kwa hivyo, huu mradi ulikuwa wa kusaidia kwa kujenga hospitali katika maeneo ya mashinani. Huo ndio utaratibu ambao tulitumia. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Nataka kumhakikishia Mbunge wa Kisauni kwamba tutahakikisha tumetembea katika eneo ambalo ametaja tukiwa pamoja na Waziri ambaye anahusika na jambo hilo. Tutahakikisha kwamba tutakuwa na mradi kama huu katika eneo la Kisauni. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have the exact details but, as I said, all the amounts that were in the last financial year have been re-voted. Ministries have confirmed that they now have the authority to start expending those resources. As of Monday, when we had our consultative meeting with all line Ministries and the relevant departmental committee there was confirmation that they have began the process of releasing those funds to ensure that the projects are ongoing. So, I do not have the exact figure with me, but I can furnish the hon. Member with the information. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the intention of re-voting was to ensure that Ministries are allowed to retain that money in order for this particular programme to be complete. So, I can assure the hon. Member that these funds are with the Ministries; we have no intention of claiming back those funds back to the Treasury because they were set aside specifically for these particular projects. view
