• 2 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 78 be amended by deleting paragraph (b) and renumbering the existing paragraphs. This is confusing. We are saying that an employee of the national Government or the county government can serve in these Water Boards.

What if the County of Nairobi wishes their equivalent of their Attorney-General to serve in that Board to make sure that they do not get into unnecessary litigation? So, we reinstated that they can be ... view

• 2 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: She did not hear what I said. These water companies belong to counties. The Water Bill said that an employee of the county cannot be a member of the water company that belongs to that county.

This is where Hon. Fatuma should be complaining because county governments do not have the role of licensing and regulating the sector as per the requirements of Section 186 (3) of the Constitution. view
• 2 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to tell my colleague, Hon. Neto that I have no excuse for his sugar levels but I want him to look closely at what we are trying to do in Clause 83. In Clause 83, there are two persons who were given powers to allow anyone to provide water namely, the county government executive for water service providers and the Regulatory Authority in the case of cross-county water service providers. The first one is not allowed in Section 186 (3) of the Constitution. Once you remove that first one then Clause 83 (1) says ... view
