• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: right in the middle of the road reserve, tomorrow when you want to do a dual carriageway, you need to undo the road which is right in the middle, or when you need to go to the other side you have to encroach on other people‟s property. We will be bringing amendments to address the designs. It is unfortunate that when you do a road you do not leave a wayleave for purposes of other amenities like piping, cabling. This means that if you develop the road after five or 10 years you have to remove all the installation was ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Regarding Part VI on finances, it is important for this country, particularly now that we are doing the budgets to consider infrastructure. Under the Jubilee Manifesto, it was the third main agenda and it is important that we consider allocating it enough money. This is because this country will grow economically with proper roads and proper infrastructure. I just want to tell the earlier speakers that the Committee on Implementation should look into the 20-kilometre tarmac road per constituency Motion which was passed. That Motion was brought by the Member for Kinangop. The Committee on Implementation followed it up and ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Kshs102 billion to be able to attain it, but not to the equivalent of the 20-kilometre per constituency. Already there is a report to that effect which was tabled by the Committee on Implementation. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: So, it is important for us to think about finances and be able to allocate enough money in our budgets. It is unfortunate that in the Committee on Implementation we were discussing about 20 kilometers per constituency which translated to about 5,000 kilometres in a financial year which had not been done in the past 50 years. It is important as we bring Motions to Parliament, we think whether we have enough money to do that. We need to check the powers of these authorities and the limitations that are supposed to be there. This is because they cannot have ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: These are some of the amendments which we will propose so that we do not destroy our environment. Time is over. We had some few issues but we will get another opportunity to bring some amendments in the Committee of the whole House. I beg to support. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the rearrangement of numbers. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the recommendations by the Chair regarding the mediation and the water issue. As it has been said, water is a very important thing and we need to look into matters that surround it. I agree, as it has been said by the Chair, that some of the recommendations that have been made by the Senate are very much in line and make a lot of progress in the Act. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to note some issues. One of them is their desire to have one water service provider. In Nakuru County, we have many issues regarding water. Having one water provider will be tedious. They will create a monopoly and I do not know with what intention. In Nakuru, for example, we have many people who have sunk their boreholes to provide water. Of course, they are supposed to be licensed. Whenever they apply for licensing, they are denied and yet, there is an acute water shortage in some areas within Nakuru County. It is very pathetic. Imagine if they ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, the fact that the Senate wants to remove some powers of the Cabinet Secretary which have been given in the Constitution and in the subsequent Acts, is not fair. Water regulations are pertinent issues. As it is, the Cabinet Secretary prepares and circulates the regulations. If we give these powers to the Water Harvesting Authority, we will remove some critical functions from the Office of the Cabinet Secretary. I do not agree with the Committee regarding that service. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: One contentious issue I want to raise, although the Chair has put it clearly, is about water works. You find that many people in many places, not only in Nakuru, polluting water upstream. They do not care that the water is used at the lower stream. This has really affected people.
