• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: So, we propose the rejection of that amendment and the retention of the word “communities”. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee proposes that we reject the proposed amendment by the Senate. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Essentially, what the Senate is saying is that the Water Trust Fund that is supposed to give water to underserved areas where it is not economical to have water services providers and the like should neither receive money from the Equalisation Fund nor from the counties. We are rejecting that because the Water Trust Fund, sometimes, gets funds from donors who require matching funds. If a county or region feels that a water project is important enough for them to provide a portion of the Equalisation Fund, this deletion by the Senate would deny the Water Trust Fund that money. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Water is a shared function. For the Senators to refuse the counties to contribute to the Water Trust Fund, it means that they are assuming that water for underserved areas or areas where water provision cannot pay back for itself, should be the function of the national Government and not shared by the counties. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: So, for those reasons, we propose that the House rejects the Senate amendment to deny the Equalisation Fund and counties from contributing to the Water Trust Fund. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Chairman, the Committee agrees with the proposed Senate amendment to Clause 117. Essentially, what it does is to delete unnecessary words and makes the law neater. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee agrees with the proposed amendment by the Senate. What this amendment does is that it demands that the income received from water permits will not only be used for water management, but also for conservation. This is a welcome inclusion. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee agrees with the proposed amendment. It indemnifies the county government the same way it indemnifies the Cabinet Secretary from being charged if there is a problem with the works they have inspected. So, it broadens it especially because water is a shared function. So, you cannot just indemnify the Cabinet Secretary and leave the county government. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The Committee agrees with both the amendments proposed by the Senate to Clause 140. The first amendment to sub-clause (2)(a) corrects an error in that clause. The second amendment to sub-clause (2)(h) empowers the Cabinet Secretary to make regulations with respect to keeping of records. We welcome that. We urge the House to approve both amendments to Clause 140 as proposed by the Senate. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The Committee agrees with the proposed amendment by the Senate because it adds a more inclusive word. view
