• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member listened to my response, I said that we already have Kshs40 million for undertaking the feasibility study of this project. Once that is completed, this project will start in May, 2013 and it will take two years. The money has already been signed for. However, in projects like these, I noticed that there are so many other things that come up. We had one project in Bura that started nine years ago, but there have been so many complications even when the feasibility study has been ready and the donors have ... view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we sign contracts for a project of this magnitude with donors, sometimes there is a requirement that the Government co-funds 10 per cent of the cost of the project. That money comes from the Exchequer. That way, the donors are able to see the seriousness of the Government in funding and completing projects. That is what it is. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, consultancy is usually advertized and consultants apply. They go through the tendering processes. Once we have picked the consultant we will be able to announce him. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already said that the project will start in May, 2013. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The number of boreholes drilled in Mwala Constituency since the year 2006 to date is 41. Out of which, 13 boreholes are still capped due to budgetary constraints. The list of the boreholes is contained in the list that the hon. Member already has. (b) To equip one borehole, there are parameters considered before arrival at the final cost like the depth, yield, head to pump, quantity of water to be pumped and the source of energy to be used. The civil works like tanks, pipelines and auxiliary works are ... view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at this Question, it is about the number of boreholes that have been drilled and capped since 2006 to date. I have personally been in one meeting where the hon. Member was with the former Member of Parliament of the area and where they were talking about these same water projects. I told them that this should not be brought to the meetings, but they should make sure that all these boreholes which are capped are equipped for the benefit of the people. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the policy that we have is that there are areas where we can only give people water through boreholes. There are others that we can give people water through using available rivers or streams. As I said, we consider various factors to see where we can get the source of water. It is different! As I said, a borehole will cost between Kshs1 million to Kshs5 million. In other areas, it may cost more, but we have to provide people with water. Like in the area of Eng. Gumbo, we could get water for Asembo ... view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already answered that question. However, I will answer it once again. As I said, we prioritize areas to provide water. In fact, I normally ask for information pertaining to all the capped boreholes, so that I know whether we have water in them. After that, we equip them and distribute water. So, when we get money, we prioritize boreholes that have already been drilled and capped. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member understood my answer correctly, I said we have allocated Kshs76 million to Mbika/Mwasa/Kibauni and Wamuya water projects this financial year. Over and above that, we have also allocated another Kshs5,398,814 to that particular project. This particular amount of money will be spent in the next three months. This money will come from the WSTF. Once they complete their project, we will inspect it and give them more money. This is what the donor wants. What I would kindly ask the hon. Member to do is to help bring people together and ... view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to talk about supplementary information that is only supposed to be in the hands of the Minister? How did he get the supplementary answer because we do not provide them? Supplementary information is only for the Minister. How did he get it? Could the Member stop using it and use what we have given him? view
