• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to put in something which will make your ruling even much better. If you do not mind, it is only fair that you hear my idea. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of the IDPs is not an issue of a single Ministry. It is an issue that should have been part and parcel of the prime responsibility of the Coalition Government. We reconciled and we should have undertaken to take Kenya to where it was before the violence occurred. In this regard, I beseech you to direct that the Government comes here, either through the Prime Minister or another office central to the Government and explains whether they have failed as a Government and declare the same to Kenyans. We are coming to the end ... view

• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether she is aware that since the construction of Ragati Dam, the Ragati River has dried up and residents lack water for domestic and commercial use; (b) whether she could state how the dam was designed resulting in the above situation; and, (c) what urgent measures the Ministry will take to solve the problem of water shortage in the area. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question was deferred last time because the Ministry came and gave misleading answers. Once again, they have come and given similar answers. However, they have admitted one thing; that there is need to build downstream dams to balance water supply in this area and to have pipelines extending in some areas. My point is that the money they are providing is a paltry amount. The Kshs6 million cannot build one single tank of 10,000 gallons. Could the Assistant Minister state here that they will increase this budget and that next year, he will provide close ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we went through this matter. The dam is in the forest and there is no water flowing downstream. So, the Assistant Minister cannot be talking about abstraction points because there is no water flowing in the river. Is the Assistant Minister in order to continue misleading this House as he did last time? view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still wish to say that the way the matter is being presented is not adequate. The Assistant Minster should undertake that we sit down--- However, let him first and foremost promise here that he will provide sufficient funds to have tanks built in this area so that this problem can be solved. Otherwise, they cannot create a problem and then come around and say that they will deny people who have been using water from this river since time immemorial that chance. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would not like this matter left hanging because it involves the lives of people. Surely, Kshs6 million cannot even build 5,000 gallons tank today. I am saying here that the Assistant Minister does not talk about ‘more money’ but he should commit himself and say that he will allocate--- There is a budget of Kshs300 million which has already been arrived at. Could the Assistant Minister tell us how much money he will allocate? How much is more? view
