• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concerns of the hon. Member, but I have just told the House that the Ministry is in the process of restructuring its operations at the grassroots by forming constituency water committees, which will be similar to the roads committees, and on which Members of Parliament will be represented. They will be big committees that will be deliberating on the problems and the concerns of hon. Members. We think that they will solve the problem; normally there is a breakdown in communication between the District Water Officers and the headquarters and maybe even between ... view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our restructuring, we want to make sure that in our next financial year every constituency is allocated some funds for water as a way of guaranteeing that activities will take place in every constituency. I think the constituency water committees will be prioritizing what they want to do in their constituencies. view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that Sigor is a dry constituency, and I will take up the request from the hon. Member that we give them a water booster. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Migori Municipality water supply was disconnected by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) Limited on 2nd February, 2011 and not two months ago. The disconnection was due to an outstanding electricity bill of Kshs600,015, which was not paid by the water service provider, Migori, Kuria and Transmara Water Company (MIKUTRA)? (b) On 23rd February, 2011, the water supply was reconnected after my Ministry made arrangements with the Kenya Power and Lighting Company to settle the outstanding bill. The lasting solution to this problem of power disconnections ... view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have different bills that have been settled by my Ministry. One is for Omo Pumping Station, which is a borehole supply, I have given an account number here. It had an outstanding bill of Kshs600,015. It consists of a borehole each, pumping 15 cubic metres per hour with a single metre for both. This station serves the District headquarters, District Hospital, Post Office and several Government offices. view

• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the total outstanding bill was Kshs1.3 million. But we have already paid Kshs600,000 in one account. We also paid Kshs120,000 for another account. We have also paid for another account Kshs488,000. The balance, so far, is Kshs56,000 only. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the water companies are still very young. They have not connected enough customers to sustain themselves. That is why our Ministry supported the said company in Kilgoris by paying Kshs2 million for the electricity bill. We expect that, in one or two years, such a company will connect enough customers in that area and it will have enough revenue to sustain itself. As far as the chlorine for water is concerned, those companies are supposed to buy directly from the suppliers. But where they cannot do so, they can bring that request to our Ministry’s Headquarters ... view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I undertake to order the said company to give the chemicals immediately. I will also find out whether they have any stock. If they do not have, I commit that I will give the chemicals from the Ministry Headquarters immediately. view
