• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: It is unfortunate that this dream of every house having portable water has not been realised. I cannot understand why, because there is adequate water in this country that can be served to Kenyans in every home. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have had a lot of rainfall in this country. With proper planning and if that water is harvested, every Kenyan would have water. We have rivers in this country. Perhaps the challenge could be funds, but I think that the funds that are directed to water development may not be directed to that; maybe not all of it. ... view

• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: which is scheduled to be held in Senegal, and that is just about to happen. I am hoping that this Government will give adequate support so that we get the kind of World Water Forum in Senegal like the one we had in Brazil. The delegates proposed early preparation for the pre-conference and well outlined mechanisms to support the Republic of Senegal in the forum preparations.

• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Committee also recognizes the overwhelming support and hospitality it received from the Kenyan Ambassador in Brazil, headed by His Excellency Isaac Ochieng’, who was also the head of the Kenyan Delegation at the Conference.

He was willing to take us around to guide us on what we were required to know in the World Water Forum. He also represented the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Water and Sanitation, who was not present at that time. He is ... view

• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank those who have contributed to this Motion. As they have all said, water is life. It is incumbent upon this Government to ensure that all Kenyans get adequate water. It is important for the Government to first serve the people who live in the water sources, before taking that water to other towns or cities. We expect people surrounding water sources, like Sasumwa Dam in Nyandarua, to be served first before taking it to other places. Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I thank those who have contributed and I beg to move. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to say that we should be careful in this House. Let us not try to add salt to injury. In this House, there are hon. Senators who happen to be ladies; there are also hon. Senators who happen to be male. Somehow, in the course of learning linguistics, because we went to different schools and we learnt different forms of English, something came out that seems to offend--- view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not reached the end of my conclusion or my thinking. However, in our school, we had Scottish teachers, English teachers and teachers from Wales; they all spoke English. There were also a few African teachers who spoke English. Therefore, we need not dwell so much into linguistics but look at the substance. view
