• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can assure the hon. Member that plans are in place to finish these 15 kilometres of pipeline and we expect some help from the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) which he is doing. The Ministry is planning to provide a water pump as an interim measure pending the implementation of the general project. view
• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the project is being implemented in phases and once this 15-kilometre section is over, the next phase will be started and the 11 kilometres that he is referring to will be implemented in the subsequent phases. Secondly, as for the pumps, as I had earlier indicated, we are liaising with the hon. Member and we are providing one water pump. As for the other one that he has just mentioned, maybe we will need to consult and find out how we can alleviate that problem too. view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to seek the indulgence of the House. After going through this answer, there are certain aspects of the project which I need to personally verify on the ground before I bring a comprehensive answer to the House. So, I request that we defer this particular Question until I visit the ground. I have consulted the hon. Member and we have made arrangements to visit the project. view
• 2 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. It is long over-due to put in place some legal framework to address drought problems in this country. I thank the Mover for identifying herself with the problems of the drought-stricken people of this country, particularly in the ASAL areas. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are quite a number of things which the Government has done, but we have come from very far and there is a lot more that needs to be done. The KMC has recently been opened, but it is not going to be effective ... view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support the Budget as presented by the Minister for Finance. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him for presenting a Budget that is geared towards the growth of this economy. This country has been experiencing economic growth for the last two years. This is commendable effort and the challenge to us, as a Government, is to ensure that we implement the Budget proposals. This Budget has been dismissed by some of our colleagues as being a populist Budget geared towards election campaigns, therefore, we can only disapprove them by ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the reconstruction of Munina Dam was undertaken in January, 2005, after the original dam constructed in the 1950s breached. The major components of the dam were funded by the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) while the community was required to provide materials and labour for construction of the spill-way protection. The spill-way is yet to be undertaken. This may cause dam failure in case of heavy floods. (b) My Ministry is liaising with the local community and the donor to raise the required funds so that the outstanding ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this project had two components. There was DANIDA which was to pay for earth works excavation, auxiliary structures; that is, the cattle trough, community water point and fencing costing Kshs3 million. There was also the community contributions which was part of the agreement between the community and the donor. It was to provide the land, provide and lay hardcore for rip-rap along the spill-way bed. This was to cost about Kshs200,000. It is this contribution from the community side that never came and hence the part of the project that this money was supposed to implement, which ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most of those projects have problems but they are not necessarily design or technical problems. Most of these projects are community projects where there is a component from the community side in terms of contribution in the form of either unskilled labour or even funds. When these funds do not come, no matter how well you plan or design a project, it becomes very difficult to implement it as per the standards. It is these particular projects, and not projects wholly owned by the Government, that are posing danger. view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry intends to put in place projects which will be shared between the community, the donor and the Ministry to ensure that implementation goes hand in hand. This will ensure that standards are always met so that even if communities do not meet their part--- view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the distribution pipes at Busia Hills Water Supply experience frequent bursts due to old age and their sizes and are inadequate to satisfy the water demand in the supply area. The pipes were laid during the period 1976/77 to carry 300 cubic metres of water per day against the current water demand of about 600 cubic metres per day. (b) My Ministry recognises that the storage facilities for the water supply are inadequate. At present, only one tank of 90 cubic metres capacity is in use as ... view
