• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With all respect to my very good friend, Commissioner Jamleck Kamau arising from his supplementary question, and the answer given by the hon. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, it appears to me that what is in dispute is clearly an inter-parties issue that can properly be disposed of by the Political Parties Tribunal. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just wondering, under those circumstances, is it in order for this dispute, which is between the parties and the PNU coalition to be referred for resolution by the House? view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you very much for your direction, but while the Assistant Minister is going to look at the issues that you have mentioned, maybe at the same time you could kindly consider looking at the last amendments to the Commissions of Inquiries Act, which opened public inquiries to the public. That was the only reason that inquiry reports were kept away from the public. To that extent, therefore, it would be in order. view

• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, did you notice that Mrs. Kones walked in as you were standing? view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Minister for Water and Irrigation the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that power supply to the pumps at Nyahera/Mkendwa/Kanyakwar Water Project have been disconnected by KPLC due to failure by Ms Gulf Water Services Ltd to pay an accumulated power bill of Kshs.700,000/=? (b) What urgent steps is the Minister taking to restore power to those projects? (c) What policy steps is the Ministry taking to ensure that provision of water is effected efficiently, considering that private water companies contracted by the Ministry through the various ... view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer. We had discussed this issue briefly before we came to the House. Whereas I am happy that action was taken, we must appreciate that power was reconnected to Nyahera/Mkendwa/Kanyakwar Water Project only after I asked this Question. However, the fundamental issue is this: What action is the Assistant Minister taking to ensure that those water service providers are made to be self-sustainable so that power is not disconnected again very soon. view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although power was reconnected, there is a real risk that very soon there will be a disconnection again. This will happen because this water service provider does not involve locals in its management. It is only answerable to Lake Victoria South Water Board, and does not care about the locals at all. If they were aware of what should be done, they would have enlarged the Nyahera borehole, so that there could be more water to supplement the source. Last week the Assistant Minister told the House that Kisumu City now has more water than it requires. ... view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Assistant Minister say that LBDA will let the projects become self-sustaining once they are started. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to discuss about self-sustenance of the projects when he knows very well that one reason why LBDA cannot operate full capacity is because of lack of funding from the Ministry? view
