• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I give a commitment that before Christmas, our Ministry will commission the Chemususu Dam. view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, variations, as far as dam costs are concerned, only come when there are added costs. In this case, as far as Chemususu Dam is concerned, there were no added costs. They were only inconveniences. As far as Badassa is concerned, there was added work because of the grouting. As a result, there was an allowance for variation. Regarding Umma Dam, I have stated clearly that there were complications and dispute between the contractor and the client. We had given enough allowance for the variation. view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is a different Question. Otherwise, as I have stated here, Badasa Dam will be completed on time. We have clearly stated that by December this year, Badasa and Chemususu dams will be completed. We will also have completed the Kiserian Dam, which is filing with water right now. Therefore, I have no doubt that we are going to fulfill whatever the Ministry has promised. view

The High Court has ordered arbitration to the dispute. Our Ministry has appealed to the Court of Appeal to restart the contract. Therefore, in Umma Dam, there was no issue of integrity as far as I am concerned. view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have addressed the question asked. Part (b) of the Question was asking what action the Minister intends to take to ensure that the construction of Chemususu Dam is completed by August, 2012. The Member did not ask about the upper part of the construction. However, the whole contract is progressing according to the contract terms as I initially indicated. I have promised, and the Member knows, that the contract is going on. I have clearly indicated that we are going to complete the dam by December this year.
