• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was there twice in 2007 and I will go there again. The hon. Member knows that I have been consulting. In fact, I cannot say these consultations will end by the next one month or two months. It is until I sit down with them and agree on who we put in the board. I cannot do it alone. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member understands it very well in the sense that if Mombasa Water and Sewerage Company does agree or the stakeholders do not agree, the Minister has powers from the Act to form another water agent and then I can decide on who to put there. So, this can be done. I will give it another trial; maybe, in the next two months. If it does not work, then by January, I should be able to put in place a board. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that this company is a semi- Government institution owned by the Municipal Council of Mombasa. But it has to enter into agreement with the Coast Water Services Board, which is under the Ministry of Water. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: So, this is Mombasa Municipal Council and the Coast Water Services Board. This two must agree. If they do not agree then the Minister can invoke the Act and put in place another water company. That is what it is. view

Therefore, they cannot claim to be absolutely private company--- view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is right in the sense that the Water Services Board must play the role of ensuring the water service providers are actually doing their work. However, when they fail to do their work, then the water service board and the Ministry must take over. So, I do agree with him in that way. The Mombasa Water Company failed in the sense that those who can remember last year, we had chaos in Mombasa because the company was not working until we intervened. We will continue to intervene where the companies are failing. But ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: No, those are not the only stakeholders. Stakeholders of Mombasa first and foremost are residents. In this particular case, I really think that--- view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: No! They have their representatives. If you go to a place like Mombasa, we have women leadership, councillors, Members of Parliament, hotel owners and et cetera . They are just too many. However, I will certainly pick a few and ensure that we come to a round table and agree. I have said that between now and January, I should be able to do so. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to reply. (a) I have provided details – and he has the details – of successfully drilled water boreholes and dams rehabilitated by the Ministry in Migori constituency and he can see that in his paper; and, (b) Giribe and Mubachi dams have been constructed and are currently operational while the design for Godkweru Dam has been completed and the dam will be constructed in the 2010/2011 Financial Year.
