Finally, the committee found that the suspension of the KFS senior managers was done illegally by the Chairman of the KFS Board. The committee therefore recommends that the KFS senior managers be reinstated immediately. Any fresh action should to be done procedurally. On the conflict of mandate, the Executive should streamline the functions of the KFS, the KWS and the Kenya Water Towers Board in order to mitigate the perceived conflict and enhance their effectiveness.

As I conclude, I would like this House to seize the matters of conservation. There is a debate out there of the Mau Complex. This is the opportune time for the Members of this august House to seize this particular matter. As they debate this Report, they should air their issues because you have seen the push and pull. It has become a tribal contest between two communities living in the Rift Valley, which may cause a lot of issues. The issues of the Mau Complex have been politicised. We want to call upon the Government to move with speed ...

the Mau Complex. I want to call upon Members, as they debate this Report, to share their sentiments. You have seen political careers being lost. People who have been staying together like brothers and sisters have turned against each other. We have seen communities crash. This worries the country.

Act, 2016. At the same time, we are seeking to ensure that the NWHSA is properly reformed and its mandate is properly undertaken. The Northern Water Services Board covers a large area of the North Eastern, part of Rift Valley and the Upper Eastern. Since it does not attract donor funding for projects, the Committee recommends initiation of government-funded water harvesting projects to improve access to safe water in the northern dry areas, for which I really want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for approving a further funding of Kshs200 million to the board to take care of ...

Unfortunately, the same had not been provided and that is what we are asking the National Treasury to provide so that the country can benefit from the grant by the Japanese Government.

The Report submitted to the Budget and Appropriations Committee has detailed information on additional requests and reallocations by the Committee. A ...
