• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have noted the concern of the hon. Member concerning this road, and that is what is very important. I will consider putting up the bumps and that is what is important. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that since Kima-Emusutswi Road (D264) was tarmacked, it has not received periodic maintenance. (b) I am further aware that Majengo-Luanda Road (C38) is currently in a condition that cannot provide a satisfactory level of service. (c) My Ministry is taking the following urgent steps to ensure that these roads are repaired and maintained on a regular basis. (i) The rehabilitation of the Majengo-Luanda Road (C38) has been included under the project for the completion of outstanding works on Kisumu-Yala Road, which is classified as (B1) and Kshs8 million has ... view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I thank the Member for appreciating the work that we are doing in the Ministry. May I assure him that I intend to start the works immediately this House passes the Budget of the Ministry for 2008/2009. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am also investigating that. I want to know why he has not started his work. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an interesting issue where the Ministry usually goes to repair roads to minimise accidents, enhance transportation and shorten the time it takes one to move from point "A" to point "B". After we have maintained the roads, we are again made to erect road bumps in order to reduce that time. Anyway, I will look at this road on merit and see whether the observation the hon. Member has made warrants erection of road bumps. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I am not satisfied with this amount of money. I have, therefore, projected for a further funding of Kshs20 million in the 2009/2010 Budget. Thereafter, we shall require Kshs21 million for the same road. That comes to Kshs41 million. I believe that will be of good use. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will do my best. view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. A document has been laid on the Table and the Chair has not ruled on whether it is authentic or not. view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the Road from Chebiemit to Kapsowar (D329) is damaged by heavy traffic and becomes impassable during the rainy seasons. (b) The Government is currently preparing a roads sector investment programme which will generate a prioritisation list of roads for upgrading to bitumen standards, nationally. Due consideration, therefore, is now being contemplated for upgrading, and that road will be given priority based on the list and availability of funds. Thank you. view
• 14 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not underrated the importance of that road and all the roads in this country. I have specifically said, on the Floor of this House, that due consideration for upgrading that road will be given priority. But that will be dictated by the availability of funds. view
