• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that some sections of the road linking Korowe and Nduru Beach, through West Kano Irrigation Scheme and Nyamware Beach, are dilapidated, hindering irrigation work and services. (b) My Ministry has not neglected this vital road that links Korowe and Nduru Beach through the irrigation scheme. The Ministry of Roads is responsible for maintaining this road since it is a public road. However, maintenance of the road network within the irrigation scheme is our responsibility, and it is financed through the operations and maintenance fee paid by the farmers. (c) ... view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, actually each farmer pays Kshs3,640 per acre. In total, we collect Kshs8 million, of which Kshs6 million goes to Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited, leaving us with a balance of Kshs2 million. As I have said, we have set aside Kshs10 million – and not Kshs2 million – for the rehabilitation of the road network within the irrigation scheme. Therefore, the hon. Member needs to know that we put in much more money than what we collect from the farmers, and we will continue doing so to ensure that we give proper services to the farmers. view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already said that I must speak to my colleague in the Ministry of Roads to ensure that we can do our part and they can do their part. It is very important that the farmers get access to the markets. It is of no use spending so much money and the farmers cannot access the market. I am committed to this and I will get in touch with the Minister for Roads to ensure that this is done. view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to assure the House that this scheme is already operational. It is working. Maybe, these are the challenges that we need to look at. Therefore, I do not have to speak to the Minister for Roads right now, but I am going to do it. It is in our interest, especially at the moment when there is scarcity of food in the country that everything works right. I am going to do it. I am committed to doing it. view

(a) Yes, I am aware that Mutonguni District and parts of Matinyani District are not served by Masinga-Kitui Pipeline due to capacity constraints. (b) Masinga-Kitui Water and Sanitation Project will include the rehabilitation and augmentation of the Masinga-Kitui Water Pipeline which will serve Matinyani and Mutonguni districts, among other areas. The project will cost Kshs2 billion which is a loan from one of our development partners. The works are scheduled to start in October, 2011. view
