• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: There are people who are so selfish that they affect the flow of water and set up their green houses or flower farms. We are telling them that if they disrupt the flow of water... This is good for the Member for Mwea because there are bourgeois business people in Mwea. We want to make sure that the poor people of Mwea, in the settlement schemes, get water throughout the year. So, this is a very good safeguard. Food security is national security and we must protect it. I support the amendment. view
• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, clause 2 deals with definitions. So, I am dealing with definitions and that is why I was not sure what the Chairman of the Committee was saying. I am redefining object, authority, irrigation, large scale irrigation scheme and storage. view

• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I propose, in the first one, to delete the object of memorandum and replace it with the following: “An Act of Parliament to provide for the development, management and regulation of irrigation to support sustainable food security and socio-economic development in Kenya and for connected purposes”. The rationale is just to approach this legislation from a very positive angle. That is the whole thing. view

• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: “Authority” means “National Irrigation Authority established under Section 7.” On the definition of “irrigation”, I am replacing what is in the Bill with ““irrigation” means any hydraulic engineering process which abstracts, stores and supplies water to crops or any other cultivated plans, livestock, aquaculture and desired forest trees” so that we increase the scope. On the definition of “large scale irrigation”, I am replacing what is in the Bill with the following: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: “Large scale irrigation scheme” means a scheme whose acreage size covers over three thousand acres, and is developed and managed by the Authority, and is established for national strategic purposes, or such schemes as implemented by the private sector”. We are talking of Galana and other Government or private-owned irrigation schemes. I have redefined what a large scale irrigation scheme is. This is to secure the national strategic interest as a country and provide avenues for strategic interventions on account of irrigation. Where we have food deficit, the government can come in. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the last one is ... view
