• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (b)The contract was awarded to the responsive bidder M/s Pure Water Resources Limited of P.O. Box 40541 Nairobi on 4th May, 2009 under Lot Number A/CWSD/1 for drilling two boreholes for Wararesa and Wadema. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (c) The terms of the contract for Tula borehole was to drill a borehole to a depth of 200 metres, sample collection water quality analysis, casing, gravel parking, development and aquiva test pumping. Immediately after the contract was awarded, the contractor had one month to mobilize equipment to site. During the month of August 2010, the contractor went to site Tula and managed to drill up to a depth of 118 metres. The borehole drilling could not go beyond that depth due to mud formation which requires specialized equipment and which is not available in the region. That, therefore, forced ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the hon. Member say that there was a borehole that collapsed some few months ago. This is due to the formation of the soil as I have been told. That is what the contractor found on site when he went there. The reason why Tula was not in this tender is because it is a lot. They advertise them in lots. If you see that the advertisement was in Lot A/CWSD/1 for drilling two boreholes for Waroresa and Waidema. Tula fell within that lot. That is how it was done. It is also true ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes we had some challenges in the Ministry when we advertised the emergency drought programmes in the sense that after we had checked where we wanted these boreholes drilled and they went on site, many of them came and turned the work down and said that they had found out that what they quoted was much less than what was actually supposed to be done and we had to rework the tenders and the contracts again. So, we have some challenges in the Ministry. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it would depend on the geological survey, land formation and where the water is. As I said, I have been told, and I think it is true, that you can get water in one point and about three meters away, you do not get water. I will get the technical people and engineers to see how fast, and the nearest place where, they can get water. It does not help anybody for them to get water a kilometer or two away from where it was helping the community. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, I have already given firm directives that this borehole needs to be completed. It should be completed so that the community gets water, especially at a time when it is so dry. This is being done and it will be completed as soon as possible. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The implementation of Emali Water Township Water Project slowed down due to delayed release of funds. I can assure the hon. Member that the project will be completed before the end of this month. That is because people are already on the ground. (b) The name of the main contractor is General Industries. The project is intended to connect water from Nol Turesh Reserve Tank near Sultan Hamud with Emali Town, a distance of eight kilometers. The scope of works comprise of bush clearing of pipeline route, excavation of trench, provision ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we decided to use some little resources to ensure that Emali Town residents get water, we were aware that we could put more water points in the whole area stretching from Nol Turesh. However, that requires a lot of money. It requires more money than we have. Therefore, we are trying to talk to donors to see how much more money they can give us. I am told we require about Kshs1 billion to ensure that all the towns along Mombasa Road get water up to Mavoko Town. Those plans are in the pipeline. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (a) I have provided the list of the staff establishment for both Bura and Hola Irrigation Schemes indicating their names, designation, job group, year of birth, sex and terms of service. That is in Annex 1. I believe the hon. Member already has that. view
