• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose this amendment. I oppose it because this august House will set a very bad precedent. We passed a Constitution that showed clearly how people will be appointed. It is true we said the two Principals will be part and parcel of whatever appointments that will be made. However, this House will not be a rubberstamp. The Committee sat down and interviewed people. Therefore, we cannot let them down. An advert was put in the newspapers and people applied for those positions. They were called for interview. This is the final product ... view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the amendment that has been brought here by Jakoyo Midiwo is not coming from the two Principals. Not unless he wants to make himself a principal. I am talking about what we have got to decide here in this Parliament. I do believe that all these ladies are very qualified. They went through a process of interview. They went before a panel of interviewers. They went through each one of them. These are the results of that interview. Most of us know the performance of Prof. Maria Nzomo. We know her track record in this ... view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I beg to oppose the amendment. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. I would like to share a copy with him. Do you have a copy? view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: (a) Yes, I am aware of the existence of Kiro Dam also known as Gacheru Dam or Kiharu Dam by the local community. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: (b) I am also aware that some people neighbouring the dam had attempted to grab the land and sub-divide it into two plots. However, the local people protested and the District Commissioner (DC), Nyandarua West, intervened and stopped any processing of title deeds. We thank him. The land on which the dam stands is, therefore intact, and Ewaso Ng’iro Development Authority has awarded a contract for the rehabilitation of the dam. The contractor is Global Construction Company Limited. They will start work on Kiro Dam after completing work on a nearby Kilometric Dam. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: (c) Since the processing of title deed was stopped, the dam plot remains a public utility. Ongoing measures include organizing the dam water beneficiaries into a management committee that will oversee water utilization after rehabilitation of the dam. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, we had to secure the title deed that had been grabbed. As I said, we are grateful to the DC. There is already a management committee on the ground. It is going to work with our people to ensure that the land is not grabbed. The Water Resources Users Association, the community and the Ministry will stop any destruction of the dam. So, I want to assure you of what will happen. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member’s observation is right. We construct those dams and, sometimes, they get silted very fast. In fact, a case in point is the big Masinga Dam which has so much silt at the moment because of the agricultural activities that take place upstream. We are also encouraging people to grow more trees to protect the water where we are doing those dams and pans. So, we must continue not only to encourage people to plant trees, but we are also putting money wherever we construct dams and pans to ensure that communities around there can ... view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will take immediate action on that matter because it is also dangerous for the children. I want to assure the hon. Member that we will take immediate action. view
