• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just said that I am going to explore the possibility of using those resources that we have to bring this water. In fact, I think that is the right thing to do because it would be faster and it would get to the people much faster because we do not know when we will get the rains even if we did the dams and the pans. So this is a possibility that I am going to explore. view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is aware that I love too much visiting his place. I have been there before with him.

• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: (b) The criteria used by the Fund to disburse funds for urban water and sanitation projects throughout the country are also as follows. One, licensed water service providers must participate in a call for proposals which involve the following steps: They go through invitation, which we do through the newspapers by advertising. Then they submit proposals for funding after every six months. Water service providers submit proposals through a standard form, which is available within the water services boards and the WSTF website also. Water service providers are given 90 days to prepare the proposals and the proposals are submitted ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Two, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, WSTF evaluates the proposals based on the criteria of current water situation, effectiveness of the proposed intervention, documentary evidence of involvement of beneficiaries, the expected impact, implementation capacity and the performance of the water service provider in the previous funded projects. view
