19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly:
This is the chairperson of the new National Irrigation Authority (NIA). In the Bill it says those who qualify are those with education only relevant to irrigation. The chairperson must be somebody who has done irrigation in college. I am saying no. We need to open up. Yes, preference will be given to anybody with agriculture as the background, but those with educational backgrounds related to irrigation, agriculture, finance, law or business should fit to be chairpersons. We are not dealing with the CEO. We are dealing with the policy level at the board. If we go that route, we ...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not want to go the extreme end of Moses Kuria. Doctors can do better in KNH. We have now taken a cop, a police officer. We were better off with the former Chair because he was one time the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Public Health, now we have taken a police officer to deal with health matters. He can only deal with the security aspect of it. Having listened to friends and Hon. Mbarire, she decided that the Chair of the National Irrigation Board can even be a guy who has a degree ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 14 be amended by deleting subclause (1) and substituting therefor the following new subclause— (1) Each county government may, within its area of jurisdiction, establish a county irrigation development unit for the better carrying out an irrigation function delegated by the Cabinet Secretary as may be prescribed in the Regulations. One of the reasons is to conform to the distribution of functions as provided for in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution and the provisions of Article 6(2). Two, irrigation is not agriculture, hence it is not a devolved function ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 19 be amended by deleting subclause (1) and substituting therefor the following new subclause— (1) The Cabinet Secretary shall, through the Authority, oversee management of existing and new national or public schemes, except those under county governments, and particularly storage dams, intake, main and secondary systems as necessary. The rationale for this, one, is to conform with the distribution of functions as provided for in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution and the provisions of Article 6(2) that that is a function given to the CS. Two, the CS, having ...

19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, to my very good friend, the Member for Mwea, I want say that we do not legislate for current issues. The House legislates for posterity. So, kindly, you cannot use a legislation to solve your constituency issues. The previous amendment was broader and it took care of your issues. I really indulge you, Hon. Member. Just drop this one so that we move faster.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I hope that my good friend, the Chairman of the Committee, will agree with me because my amendment is more specific. Hon.
