• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Do not worry about the party. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity--- view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to take this opportunity to make a few remarks on the Vote for the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. It is really common knowledge that this country still continues to lack safe water for drinking. Many people in this country are still living on very dirty water. I would also like to say that the Ministry has really tried, especially in this Financial Year. They have really tried a bit to distribute the money to almost every district fairly. But not very quite! I would like the Minister to seriously take it ... view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is exactly the disparity that we are talking about not only in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, but in other Ministries. It looks like these allocations are done according to who comes from those districts. view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at it, how come that a district with a population of 600,000 could get Kshs1.5 billion? If you compare it with others with even greater populations, they do not get close to what others are getting. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why we are saying that this year the Minister has tried to spread the allocations. I would like to thank him and his team and urge them to continue like this. The Minister has also put a lot of money into these authorities, and we do not know how they select the projects ... view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to hear what hon. Munyao is saying. When the KANU Government was in power, he was also a KANU person. So, the issue does not arise. It is now five years since this Government came to power. Let us not talk about history, but now and tomorrow, because that is what is going to help us. It would be very important for this Ministry to receive more funds, so that every home in this country can receive clean water for drinking. Likewise, those who want to do farming can do it. But if ... view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is known for going to other people's constituencies without informing them and pretending that he is opening--- view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: I will do that, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was saying that, as far as the boreholes which we were promised are concerned, my constituency only got two. There are other constituencies where no boreholes have been sunk. I would like to request the Minister, now that the Ministry's budget has been increased by 70 per cent compared to the previous financial year, to make sure that an equal number of boreholes are sunk in almost every constituency. There should be no favouritism. Let us be transparent. If hon. Muturi's constituency receives five boreholes, let August 21, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3301 ... view
• 21 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Machakos Town, where the Minister comes from, is served by water from Mt. Kilimanjaro, but that water never reaches the town. We would like to know what happened to that water, yet, it was meant for Machakos Town. Machakos Town, in the old days, was being served by five boreholes. Those boreholes are still there but they are not being used. Could the Minister allocate some money to provide water to that town? If you go to that town, you will find that it stinks. You cannot even enter some of the toilets which are ... view
• 8 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons:- (a) how many identity cards have been processed and issued to the public in the last three months; and, (b) whether he could table a detailed list of IDs issued in each district countrywide. view
