• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer that I have just given here is in relation to the Question that was asked by the hon. Member for Nyando Constituency. However, the problem of floods is common and the Government is trying its best to construct dykes. The construction of dykes, considering the cost involve, is a continuous process, but also maintaining the ones that are already constructed on a yearly basis is another factor to put into consideration. We are, therefore, maintaining, on a yearly basis, the dykes that have been constructed and at the same time extending them. view
• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that flooding is a common problem in the western region of this country. The short-term measures that the May 9, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1231 Government is taking is the construction and maintenance of the dykes. However, the long-term solution only lies in trying to control the floods by constructing dams. This is being undertaken through the new initiative of the Western Kenya Community-driven Programme sponsored by the World Bank, which is being implemented through the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. We are liaising with that Ministry in terms of ... view

• 9 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I very much agree with the hon. Member that dykes are only a temporary solution. The long-term solution is being worked by the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. I had earlier indicated that I did not come with particular information from the Ministry of State for Special Programme to be able to give precise dates about the programme. However, the programme is at an advanced stage. All the designs and everything else has been done and it will kick of any time soon. view

I would like to congratulate the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs for this important Bill which marks a milestone in the political development of this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since 1992, this country has been struggling to develop politically. Every other year, I believe, we have been improving and we should accept that and congratulate ourselves, as a country, for the development that we have so far made.

• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, let us not try to oppose what we know is the reality on the ground in this country.

• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constitution allows me to be where I am. I need your protection according to the Standing Orders of this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, through this Bill, I believe this country will have an opportunity to fund fewer political parties that will take it forward. That way, I will be able to see a Mr. Weya, Mr. Ojwang and Mr. Odinga sitting on this side and a Mr. Odhiambo, Mr. Tuju and anybody else, sitting on the opposite side. We do not want to see a situation where all Ojwangs, Weyas and Odhiambos ... view

No budgetary provision was made for this project in this current Financial Year, 2006/2007. However, the board will include the rehabilitation of this project in the budgetary proposals ... view
