• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am very much aware that Mulundu-Bukura section of the Sigalagala-Butere Road is not easily motorable. I am also aware that between Inaya and Sabatia, there are stacks of gravel that have not been spread out by the contractor. (b) Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to reassure the Member that, that road project has not been canceled nor abandoned by the contractor. Actually, Kshs328,687,955.09 has been paid to the contractor and the road is expected to be completed by December 2013. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I have already consulted Mr. Oparanya and, maybe, the little change you might see in the copy of the answer that you have got is the emergency basis. I give an order on the Floor of this House to the contractor that the gravel should be removed from that section of the road by 13th October. I further give instructions that no further payments will be made to the contractor until that is done in compliance to the contract that he signed. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my earlier answer, I talked about gravel stacks that are blocking that road. I want those gravel stacks to be removed by 13th of this month. If the hon. Member wishes that I do not remove them, then I will not. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this contractor has worked on only 27 per cent of this road. I expect him to have worked on about 60 per cent of this road. I have an issue with this contractor. Wherever he gets the gravel to make the road motorable is not my problem. What I want is this road to be motorable and the gravel stacks removed. If he will want to use these gravel stacks to prepare the rest of the road, that is up to him. He is on contract and the rest is not my issue. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not said that I am going to give this contractor any additional work. To the contrary, I will not. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I may not know who the Bull Fighter is, I know the other Members that I have been requested to accompany to inspect this road. It has come to my knowledge that this contractor employs mischief in the contracts that he has been given. Take it from me that it has come to my notice. Take it from me that this contractor is going to work on this road and if he does not, I will take it away from him. As per the contract, there are some obligations that he has to meet at specific ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that several roads in Nyakach Constituency are in need of urgent repair. My Ministry, through the respective road Authorities, has prepared the Annual Public Roads Programme (APRP), identifying the damaged roads, with the intent of repairing them. (b) I have already released Kshs7 million in the first quarter of the financial year to every Constituency Roads Committee (CRC). Each CRC is eventually expected to receive Kshs15.7 million from the 22 per cent Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) and Kshs7.1 million from the 10 per cent Roads Maintenance Levy Fund ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I confirm that when I get sufficient funds, I will give enough money to all the constituencies to repair and build their roads. As at now, I have been limited by what I receive from Treasury. What the Exchequer gives me is what I give out. view
