• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member is asking multiple questions. He has asked 664 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 24, 2008 three questions. May I seek the guidance of the Chair to have the hon. Member to be specific and ask a particular question, so that the Assistant Minister can answer? view
• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Motion that was moved by the Minister. The formation of this Board is long overdue. We were hoping that before we went for the previous recess, that this Motion would have been brought. Had that happened, we would not be talking about money lying in accounts. Right now, nearly all the previous committees have been replaced and they need to be approved or ratified by the Board that is pending. However, better later than never. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister, just as my colleagues ... view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Immediately Mr. Deputy Speaker left the Chair, I saw him consulting you and you immediately gave him a chance! I do not know what transpired, and why you have given him priority. view

• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity, first of all, to introduce myself, so that our new colleagues will know me. We are still knowing each other. My name is Maj. Sugow, the Member of Parliament for Fafi Constituency. In the morning when I started my contribution, I had taken about two minutes thanking the President and the Prime Minister designate for the leadership that they have provided in taking this country out of the quagmire that it has been in. The onus is on us now, as parliamentarians, to ensure that we maintain the pace, so ... view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support this Motion on the Presidential Speech. I would like, first of all, to thank God for returning 90 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 12, 2008 peace to this country. We are all human beings, but it is only God who can save us from the problems that we have faced. We thank God for that. Secondly, I would like to thank the President for maintaining that same impetus with which he signed the Accord with his counterpart, hon. Raila Odinga. We all need to support them as hon. Members of this House ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that personnel from the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation sent to sink a borehole to supply water to Hara Trading Centre in Ijara District were recently evicted from a site near the Tana River. (b) My Ministry is constructing a water supply scheme for Hara Trading Centre. The water supply has a river source and a pump house, and the rising main pipelines were constructed during the last financial year. In the current financial year, 2007/2008, the remaining works for this water supply, which include the construction ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I understand the hon. Member's problems. The River Tana, administratively, up to three miles on the side of North Eastern Province falls under Tana River District. But as far as a Government, and water being what it is, this is a State property and the river is a resource for the nation. It does not belong to any particular district. The exploitation of that is for every Kenyan. Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, I would like to assure the hon. Member that all the projects along the Tana River, be they in Tana River District or in North ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have details as to whether Tana River will continue for 50 years. It all depends on how we actually exploit and preserve our catchment areas in the years to come. However, I would like to assure the hon. Member that we have control over water extraction and we seriously monitor water levels where the ground water is being exploited anywhere in the country, be they areas where we rely wholly on ground water or areas where we use river water. view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, water exploitation for irrigation or any other use is regulated at the Ministry level. It is not controlled at the regional, provincial or district level. Water extraction, therefore, for any use, will be based on priorities at the national level. Where water for irrigation use will interfere with probably, the basic livelihood of obtaining water for domestic use, definitely, there will be control. There will be no any other control for that matter, other than the regulatory framework that has been put in place by the Ministry.
