• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry respects the Kenyan Constitution on private ownership of land.

• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) It is true that the public invitation for tender for the Ndumberi-Kiawaroga Road Project inadvertently included a section from Ngorongo to Githunguri. (b) The project design and the tender documents that were used for bidding were for Ndumberi-Kiawaroga-Limuru Road (D409).

• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am completely unaware of the allegations made by the hon. Member. I will be happy if he sheds more light on this issue by all means of communication.

So, I may not be able to comment as to whether one road has a 95 per cent road use and the other one has 5 per cent road use. That was not part of the Question and I may not be able to comment on that. I have taken note of his concerns and I will look into the issue. view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already talked about the percentage use of that road. However, the interest of the Ministry of Roads is to construct every useful road in this country. Just because one road has been done before the other is not a reason to think that the other road will not be done. We will do it. Just be patient, hon. Member! view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with great sympathy, I beg the users of that road to bear with the Ministry. We will do it when funds are available. view

• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: My Ministry, in the interest of decongesting the Nairobi City, has carried out design for the expansion of the Nairobi-Thika Road from the current four lanes up to eight lanes which is being implemented in three separate contracts running concurrently. I beg to lay on the Table copies of the design drawings in three volumes. view
