• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 72 of the Bill be amended— (a) in the marginal note by deleting the word “accreditation” and substituting therefor the word “licensing”; and (b) in sub-clause (3) by deleting the word “accreditation” appearing immediately after the words “applicant meets the” and substituting therefor the word “licensing”. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The Committee agrees with the proposed amendment by the Senate. Essentially, it is using a more appropriate word “licensing” as opposed to what we previously had. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee agrees with the proposed amendment. It is consequential. If we change “accreditation” to “licensing”, we have to continue doing that in the subsequent clauses. I support the amendment. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee agrees with the proposed amendment by the Senate. It is a consequential amendment of substituting the word “accreditation” with the word “license”. We support the amendment. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee proposes the rejection of the Senate amendment to this clause. The Senate is making it mandatory that each county should establish a water services provider. This will create a monopoly. It will also make it mandatory that each county must do it only once. So, we feel that this amendment is prohibitive, especially in counties which are very big. They are supposed to establish one water services provider. We also feel that making it mandatory would not be necessary. So, we reject this amendment. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we propose the rejection of this amendment by the Senate. Basically, the Senate is saying that we can have any water user made responsible for the execution of the maintenance of services. The word “water user” is very broad. It should only be confined to people who are licensed to maintain the same. So, we propose the rejection of this amendment. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee agrees with the proposed amendment to Clause 109 because it is the same as the one for geo referencing. It is important to have data geo-referenced. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee rejects the proposed amendment by the Senate. What the Senate has done in this amendment is to substitute the word “community” with the words “community scheme”. This is in line with water resource management projects in underserved and urban poor areas. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, first of all, the words “community schemes” are not defined in the Bill and the Committee felt that using them would hinder poor people from registering into a scheme and benefiting from water projects. view
