• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Programme is Kshs800 million. Out of these, Kshs770 million was distributed equally to all the constituencies of this country and this constituency received Kshs2.4 million. Kshs30 million has been allocated to the Kenya Urban Roads Authority for the purposes of maintaining the urban roads. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other information that I was supposed to give to the House is on the amount of money used for administrative purposes. No money was removed from this Fund for the purposes of administrative costs. The officers on the ground used the normal revenue allocated to the districts to administer this Fund. So, all the funds that were allocated for this purpose went to the work. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I would be very much of the same opinion as the hon. Member to have more of this work in the constituency, there is no provision for funds for Kazi Kwa Vijana this Financial Year as he knows because he participated in the passing of the Budget. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) There are five general classifications of roads based on geographic criteria for end points being connected to a particular road and this is as follows:- Class A - Internal trunk roads – these are roads linking Kenya with neighbouring countries in the region. Class B - National trunk roads – these are roads linking the international trunk roads to provincial centres. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a fair question. I will endeavour to do that. After I receive a consultant report that will give me the road mapping for the whole country, I will consider that. I expect to get that report by the end of this year. I am sure the Member will be satisfied with the results. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have authorized an international consultant M/s M and Carlo Bros. to give me a study over the same. I have spent Kshs137 million for the same purpose, so that I can be able to reach out to the roads that the hon. Member has talked about. I am sure he will be happy when I discover his demands. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, I will. view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry repaired the Strabag-Gitwamba section of the Kasarani-Mwiki Road in the Financial Year 2005/06. The work was carried out according to the specifications contained in the contract at that time. However, the road is deteriorating very fast because of the many heavy trucks using it to ferry building materials from the quarries in the area, a situation that was not envisaged at that time. (b) About 124,000 litres of bitumen was used in repairing the road. The works involved a double seal surface dressing of a thickness of about 25 mm, ... view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at that time, the road was designed to last for about five to ten years under the load that it was specifically designed for. That is low traffic. We used about Kshs40 million for construction of the road at that time. view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member heard me well, which I do request that he does, I did say the contractor built the road according to the designs done at that time. However, the weight of the traffic increased due to the growth of Nairobi. That area has been seen as a site for excavation of materials for building. This is something I would not have known. I am not an archeologist. view
