• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, it is true that the water that comes to Nairobi from Ng’ethu and, indeed, Sasumua dams, does not benefit the communities in the local area so much. Yesterday, I commissioned another big project in Sasumua. I realized that the people in those areas do not get water. I have made a decision, and, indeed, a policy that in every area that we get water, we must ensure that the communities living around the area get water before it goes to other places. That also applies to Masinga Dam. People in Masinga do not get water ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kshs265 million that we put in Karemenu was to ensure that people get clean water. The works included treatment works and distribution. That was done so that water coming from Ng’ethu could benefit the people of Nairobi more. We did the same in Gatundu South where we had to get water from Ndarugu River to supply that area. We made sure that the water is treated before it is given to the people. Therefore, we look at other water sources in an area. That is the same thing we will do for the people of ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to apologize for not having been present when the Question was called for the first time. It is true that I have not supplied the Member with the written answer. For that reason, I would like to answer the Question tomorrow in the afternoon, so that I will have all the details. I want to apologize once again. view

• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank hon. Chanzu for that information. I have also said that this is now part of the policy. It is not right, at all, to have a project designed like the Nol Turesh, where water flows from Kilimanjaro through Masailand up to Machakos. It is the same thing with the Masinga Water Project. The water comes from Masinga, leaves all the people of Masinga and Kitui West up to Kitui Town. What sense is there that people along the way do not get water? Within the designs, there should be a way of ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, we already have a master-plan and I really understand the needs of water in this country, not just in Ndhiwa, Karachuonyo, Nyatike or Mbita, but wherever it is. I really understand the needs of water. What the hon. Member has stated is true because you will find that people around Lake Victoria still cannot get water. Therefore, we have this master-plan to ensure that we will give people clean water. Another thing which I wish to share with the House is that we are also putting in place a design where we should ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once the project is complete people will benefit. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need to go back to see how far they have gone with the designs and follow it up. So, I will not be able to answer that one question right now. view
