• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already responded and said they have three water bowsers. Whether it is the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation or Government of Kenya or Ministry of Water and Irrigation, it is one and the same thing. I said that we can only add because of the need but not remove them. I think the hon. Member was not listening. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that Masinga District Headquarters, Masinga Market and Masinga Girls Secondary School have no clean drinking water, as they are served by a borehole water which is saline, despite Masinga-Kitui water pipeline being only 7km away from the market. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (b) Masinga District Headquarters, Masinga Market and Masinga Girls Secondary School will be provided with water once the implementation of Masinga-Kitui Water and Sanitation Project, which is scheduled to start in October, 2011 is completed. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (c) The Masinga-Ekalakala Water Project has been tied to the development of Masinga-Kitui Water and Sanitation Project, which is due to start in October, this year as I have stated in part “b” above. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that the Masinga-Kitui Water project was designed way back in the 1970s but was completed in 1995/1996. The pipeline was supposed to take water from Masinga to Kitui and not to Masinga and Yatta. We have now put a design in place to ensure that people from Masinga, Yatta, Kitui West, Kitui Central and Mutito can get water from Masinga. We have gotten money to a tune of view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry has set aside funds to ensure that all these drought stricken constituencies have got some money for mitigation. This is what has been done over the years. We need to move away from always mitigating and trying to do some quick service to the people. That is why we have put money now in this water project, so that we can solve the problem, once and for all. Indeed, I thought the two hon. Members would be standing up to say, “Thank you. It was not done before by others who were there.” So, I ... view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that most of the water that is being used in different places comes from areas where water is not being supplied. When I was answering the Question yesterday by Mr. Waibara I said that we now have a policy in place to ensure that communities that live near the source of water are given water. I really sympathise with Masinga people because that is where electricity is generated from, but they have no electricity. That is where water comes from, but they have no water. So, we have a policy to ensure that where ... view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we had these decisions in place long before the hon. Member asked his Question. They are assured they will get water. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also learnt that he had been delegated to ask the Question because Mr. Waibara is in court this morning. That is what I have been told. However, I beg to reply. (a) The Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company annual revenue from water and sewerage services for the year 2009/2010 was Kshs3.5 billion. Under the Water Act of 2002, the company is required to ring-fence the revenue for use in rehabilitating, upgrading and extension of water and sewerage infrastructure.
