• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, this is a substantive amount of money for this area. We will do gravelling on the Turbo side of the road. However, we will put bitumen for a distance of 20 kilometres on the Chepterit side of the road. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the repair works on Kakamega-Kisumu Road, at the section between Lukose River Bridge and Muraka Shopping Centre are temporarily stopped. (b) The reason for the temporary stoppage was because the funds from the original contract were not adequate to complete the works. The implementing agency KeNHA, effected a variation order of Kshs33, 844,116. The works resumed early this year and were completed in February, 2012. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very much aware of that situation on the ground, but it has been left like that because I have awarded another Kshs4 billion through the World Bank for the proper reconstruction of that road starting June, 2012. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware of that situation on the ground. From my earlier response, I indicated that there was less money for the repair of this road and hence the addendum. That addendum was not enough to complete the works of clearance and shoulder repairs. I have also said despite that situation, we are still revisiting that road with proper reconstruction. I think that is good enough. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, actually, I have divided that road into three sections; each section has been given to a contractor: M/s Covet, for the section between Kisumu and Kakamega for a cost of Kshs4 billion; the rest is BVA Limited and J. Young X1 for the section between Kakamega-Webuye-Kitale. That is how I have divided that road. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the contractors are going to construct the road to the specifications that they signed for. I will make sure that I have full value for the money awarded for that project. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the contractor will be supervised by my own engineers from the Ministry to make sure that the road is constructed to the specifications signed for. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I announce that the works will be starting at the beginning of June this year. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there have been a number of accidents in Kagwe-Gachoire Bridge. (b) I have instructed the regional manager in Kiambu to liaise with Lari Constituency Roads Committee and prioritize the widening of the bridge to accommodate a two lane carriageway and also widen the bridge as it approaches the river. The works will also include installation of road signs and guard rails to enhance safety of the road users. view
• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, all the construction is estimated to cost Kshs10 million which will be subsequently carried out using the 1 per cent Roads Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF). view
