• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Minister, do you have a further amendment to Clause 48? view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Mungatana, do you have a further amendment to the schedule? view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Judiciary Service Bill and approved the same with amendments. view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for an Assistant Minister to evade answering a question because he is engaging the Committee when Part (b) of the Question asked by Mr. Washiali is about an Act of Parliament of 2001? This is 2011. You had 10 years. Did you have to wait for the Tenth Parliament, which began in 2008, to implement the law? view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) what the flow and discharge of River Omo, Turkwel, Kerio and Kawalase is, which all drain into Lake Turkana; (b) what projects have been undertaken by the Rift Valley Water Services Board aimed at tapping the waters of the said rivers for economic benefit of Turkana County; and, (c) what measures the Ministry is taking to ensure that the Board taps the potential of the said rivers and if the Government, in “Affirmative Action”, could consider establishing a Lake Turkana Basin Development Authority to undertake development projects in the county. view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the good plans that he seems to have made for the development of the Lake Turkana Basin. If you look at part “b” of the answer, you will realize that the Rift Valley Water Services Board can only contemplate and plan for the future of the Turkana County as if these rivers and the lake have not been in existence for the many years that the Rift Valley Water Services Board has been in existence. What projects, including the boreholes in Kerio, that the Rift Valley Water ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has asked whether the 33 projects being overseen by the Rift Valley Water Services Board cover my constituency. If I had the schedule with me, I could confirm. The water services board has a broad scope. There is a specific question I raised on drilling of a borehole in the Kerio Valley area, which the Ministry promised three years ago. There is a major problem right now because we have opened a brand new secondary school to cater for the entire division, and those people need water. view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point or order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really want to thank you, because the Assistant Minister almost ran away from responding to this part of my Question. A Minister of the Government is essentially a part of the Government. Is it in order for him to run away from responsibility by saying that because the establishment of development authorities is not his Ministry’s mandate, they cannot lobby or initiate the same? Ministers are supposed to sit in the Cabinet and collectively be responsible to this House. Is he in order? view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, how can I get satisfied when the Assistant Minister has ignored a question of 90 per cent of the waters of River Omo destined for Lake Turkana being re-directed elsewhere? However, since he has been quite willing to assist with Kshs243 million, I do not want to squander that goodwill. I pray that God gives me and him at least one more year, so that by the next financial year, which will start later this calendar year, I can confirm the disbursement of Kshs243 million for that project. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said ... view
• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. With due reference to the Chair, if you look at this Question, it says that the Minister should provide a list of names. In all fairness, the hon. Member needs to apprise himself of the names, so that he can interrogate the Question. view
