• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I assure the hon.Member that I am willing and ready to do the work he wants at a cost of Kshs16.8 million once this House allocates me that money. I have requested to be allocated the money so that I can do that work. view
• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek the indulgence of this House to answer this Question later on because I do not have adequate information. I have agreed with the hon. Member that the information sought is very important. I beg that I be given two weeks from now to get that information. view
• 21 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 21 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have taken cognizance of the fact that Tharaka has a poor road network system. I may not be able to cover the 100 kilometres so desired by the Member, but I will do my best to make sure that he is well catered for in road maintenance and building. view
• 21 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas that is a completely different Question, let me assure the hon. Member that I have not forgotten him. view
• 21 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have always said that construction of bumps is not a policy in my Ministry, but I will look into the request and deal with it if it requires that. My only appeal is for Kenyans to be aware of accident spots. We are building good roads now, but not death traps. We intend to have safety on our roads, and that is why we are constructing them. Mariakani is one of the places where I have done a very good job, and I expect Kenyans to observe law and order while driving. view
• 21 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas that is not in my current plan, I want the hon. Member to know that I have allocated, this financial year, Kshs51 million to routinely maintain the roads in his constituency. I am happy that he has very good roads and although not bitumenized, they are good roads for access to the area he is talking about. view
• 14 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The section of the road between Machakos Town and KARI Katumani Research Station was in good condition at the time Katumani-Wote Road was being constructed, hence it was not included in the contract. view
• 14 May 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The immediate steps to be taken by my Ministry will include erection of rumble strips and installation of guardrails along this stretch. (c) The Ministry has already erected bumps at Muumandu and Kola. The District Roads Engineer has been asked to evaluate the best safety precaution that can be installed at Katuaa Market, with the aim of improving road safety. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am, indeed, aware of the hon. Member’s complaints. I am as much concerned about this section of the road. I will give it priority in the next financial year, depending on the availability of funds. view
