• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied with the amount of money given to Kirinyaga District because I know that Kirinyaga District requires a lot of water and we need to do a lot of conservation in that area. As I said earlier, the funds which are available to TARDA are not enough. Once we get adequate funds, we will definitely consider funding Kirinyaga District and other districts that serve TARDA. view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that question. In future, we will try to look into funding that particular constituency once funds are available. view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Coast Development Authority has funded and implemented the following projects in Wundanyi Constituency since 2002: Promotion of Farmers Initiatives in Farmers Field Schools. This project which is located in Mwanda, Mghange and Wundanyi was started in 2001/2002 financial year at a cost of Kshs2.5 million; Integrated Reproductive Health in Farmers Field Schools Project.

• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, all these projects are on the ground and if the hon. Member wishes us to go and see them together, we could plan and visit the area. view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with Mr. Y. Haji that Ijara Constituency was really under-funded. Generally the CDA was under-funded, except in certain areas like Wundanyi which was given over Kshs8 million. I know that Ijara Constituency was actually under-funded and we are doing something about it this financial year to improve the situation. view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, despite the fact that the Coast Development Authority was under-funded it had undertaken a number of projects particularly in Mr. Mwandawiro's constituency. It has actually done a good job. For example, farmers have been trained and given a lot of capacity on fish farming, health, livestock keeping and so on. So, it is unfair for the hon. Member to say that these projects are non-existent. However, it is not my wish to have the CDA and other Regional Development Authorities disbanded. In fact, I will soon be asking the House to increase funding for this regional ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply.

During the period, TARDA identified the Mbeti South Water Project whose ... view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a project that has not yet started and as I said in my answer, these are just estimates. Since TARDA does not have funds at the moment, we want to push the projects to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that all the Kshs600 million did May 3, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 849 not go to the farm. We spent Kshs150 million on the farm and Kshs400 million on the road connecting Kagonde and Embu which is about 80 kilometres. There is a balance of Kshs50 million which will be used to improve the farm structure. As for the environmental aspects, we have conservation projects at Masinga Dam and Kiambere. view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true this Ministry is underfunded. However, our role is complementary. We complement other Ministries like the Ministries of Water and Irrigation and Livestock and Fisheries Development. Our projects are generally integrated. We do not do a specific project. These projects include irrigation schemes and so on. view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, all I said is the whole truth. However, if the hon. Member wants me to tour the area, I will do so. Secondly, Mbeere District generally has not benefitted much from the TARDA projects, but we are considering constructing two dams for them in the next financial years. view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, but in the afternoon. view
