• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have just informed the Assistant Minister which information he should be having. I appreciate he is new in the Ministry but, nevertheless, we came to Parliament in 2008. The designs were finished at a cost of Kshs800 million. What he is saying about the increased population is true. The scope was increased to cover Ikutha and Mutomo districts. That is the review that has just been done and it has raised the cost to Kshs2 billion. The Assistant Minister has not paid the consultants. Is the Assistant Minister in order to ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of dams or pans being washed away, indeed, has been affecting the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation. I have been to the Minister’s office over the issue of Kangunda and Malimule dams which were done in my constituency in the same period by the same corporation and they were washed away. The contractors were paid even before they completed the work. The Minister and the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation gave a commitment that they were going to be done. The Minister has given hon. Kiilu the same commitment. Could she just ... view
• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not in any way trying to challenge your ruling. Indeed, I agree with you. However, just as a follow up of what hon. Shebesh raised, when you were ruling, you mentioned something about hon. Members of Parliament, but what has been happening has been between Members of the Executive – a Minister and an Assistant Ministers. We have had two such cases so far. So, it has nothing to do with Members of Parliament. In view of the fact that the Cabinet will be going to Mombasa tomorrow for some training, could you ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) how much money was allocated to “Kazi kwa Vijana” programme that was channeled through Tana Athi Water Services Board; and, (b) whether she could provide a detailed list of the projects undertaken, the cost of each project, the location as well as the scope of the works undertaken. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for the answer that she has given to me. Could she confirm that she is happy with the way the money was spent in view of the fact that the first project, Kwavonza Pipeline, which is a one and a half kilometer extension, the youths worked for only two weeks - they were 50 – and the money indicated as having been paid to them is Ksh2.8 million? Could you confirm that, as the Minister, you are happy with the way the money was spent? view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish you could change the day to Tuesday afternoon, next week. On Thursday, I will be out of town on parliamentary business. Since she is only looking into one or two items and she has very efficient officers, she should be able to come back on Tuesday. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- (a) How much money was factored in the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 National Budgets for the Economic Stimulus Package? b) Is the Minister aware that the implementation of Economic Stimulus Projects has stalled or delayed? (c) What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that the projects under the package are completed without further delay? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Regional Development Authorities - (a) whether he is aware that Tana and Athi River Development Authority (TARDA) has not undertaken any projects to tap the waters of River Athi; (b) what steps the Ministry is taking to ensure that TARDA taps the potential of the river; and, (c) if he could consider establishing River Athi Development Authority to undertake development projects along the River Athi Basin. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: I thank the Assistant Minister for his answer. However, the development authorities when they were established by the Government, they were meant to address development along certain river basins. The one I am asking about was supposed to do development along River Athi. The Assistant Minister has said they have done five water pans, what at an average of Kshs3 million comes to Kshs15 million for the last 36 years. Is he convinced that they have done enough for those 36 years to develop the River Athi basin? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: In view of what the Assistant Minister has said and given the fact that TARDA has been getting substantial funding from the Exchequer and nothing much has gone to the river basin, the reason for this for the constituencies which are served by the Athi, which are about eight including mine, is because the appointment of directors to TARDA has not taken care of regional interests. Currently, we have only one director who was appointed the other day. What is the Ministry doing to ensure that stakeholders’ interests are taken care of in terms of appointing the board of directors? view
