• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: may find other people using the river for washing, making illicit brews and dumping the residue in the same river. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: The Senate proposed that the water user may enter into an agreement. It is about the water works, but without looking at the water works. There are those rivers and streams where water flows down. In such an area, we do not have a lessor who we can enter into an agreement with. It is important for us to think in line with what the Senate thought. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Regarding the Water Trust Fund, it is unfortunate that with the passage of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF), some functions like provision of water have been removed from what used to be catered for by the CDF. This is something that is going to hurt locals so that they cannot access funding that can help in water provision. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Water provision has been devolved. As much as it has been devolved, we need to think broadly of how other players can come in. I know other rural areas where NGOs have played a huge role in supplying clean water. Recently, the Committee on Implementation visited Wajir. We saw the good work the Governor had done regarding water. His intervention has really reduced animal deaths due to drought. These are issues we need to consider regarding funding of water provision. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: We agree with the Committee’s definition of a “wetland” and “domestic use”. I totally agree with the disagreement of the Committee on the water strategy which the Senate wanted to reduce to three years. That is because there is another legislation which has set it to five years, instead of what the Senate has recommended. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the recommendation by the Chair and re-emphasise that, as much as we have had many issues with the Senate in the past, it is also a House that has put some meat into the bone regarding the water issue. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendment by the Chair. In particular, we have seen this happening in very many places where evictions are just done without following any due process. Giving clarity as to how evictions should be done is an advantage. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support what the Chair has just said. It is important, particularly if you are seeking for information, to be given answers. We have had cases where one seeks information and no one wants to give it out. At least there must be an answer, whether yes or no. If no, there must be reasons. I concur and support. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we just moved the same thing earlier. Do we need to keep repeating it? It is the same thing. It talks about conviction. She had indicated that she would bring it later. view
