• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I propose that the Senate amendment to Clause 8B be rejected. The production of that water resource strategy is supposed to take five years. The Senate is saying that we also take five years to review. So, the period of time for producing the strategy will clash with the period of review. We want it to remain as passed by the National Assembly which stated that you take five years to produce a strategy and three years to review the same. The Senate amendment would be clashing with the period of time. We seek its rejection. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we beg to agree with the Senate proposal to amend Clause 19 because they are introducing the need to have the information collected to be geo-referenced. As a digital Government, this is a progressive thing and we support the Senate amendment. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee agrees with the proposed amendment by the Senate. The amendment is asking us to allow the county governments to approve members of the water boards that are from their county.

• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee urges the House to approve the Senate amendment to Clause 25 in appreciation that water services are a shared function.

• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Cabinet Secretary and not a Semi-Autonomous Government Agency (SAGA) under a ministry. We oppose that amendment. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This is just to clear an error because previously, we had water boards and we forgot to amend it with the new terminology for those bodies that we are now calling agencies. We support this amendment because it is just correcting an error. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we wish to reject the Senate amendment to this clause because it creates ambiguity as to where the chairperson of the development agency should be appointed from. The amendment states that the chairperson will be appointed from the respective county. For instance, the Coast Water Board will appoint a person from Mombasa County and not from the entire basin. We want to improve it. We are not refusing that the chairperson should come from the counties in that basin, but not the county where the headquarters is based. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: We are rejecting this amendment to allow us negotiate for a better proposal. We are not rejecting that the chairperson should come from counties covering that area. With this amendment, if the water board is based in Kakamega County and covering Bungoma and Busia counties, it can be interpreted that the chairperson should only come from Kakamega County. We are going to negotiate with the Senators that the chairperson should come from any of the counties of the entire basin. If we do not reject it, we cannot mediate on it. The best way is to reject the Senate amendment ... view
