• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for also giving me a chance to make my remarks. From the outset, I want to say I support the Irrigation (Amendment) Bill. I have read it and seen it is really going to assist our people. I have liked what they have come up with – defining what an irrigation scheme is. The term “national irrigation scheme” has been well defined. We have transboundary, trans-county or intercountry irrigation schemes which was not captured in the past. This has been well done. Again, the strategic irrigation schemes have been well articulated here. ... view

• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I have not heard of such an organisation. I am interested. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I come from Gatanga Constituency where we, combined with Hon. (Ms.) Wangari Mwaniki, provide all the water which is consumed in Nairobi, Athi River and Ongata Rongai. All the water which is drunk in Nairobi and all those places I have mentioned, come from our place. So, when I talk about National Irrigation Farmers’ Association which we are not aware about, I am well guided. Despite providing Nairobians with water, Hon. (Ms.) Wangari Mwaniki can confess that we also suffer a lot as people from Kigumo and Gatanga. All the water comes here and ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Water will continue not being enough. We have the Water Harvesting and Storage Authority which has not done its job properly. You can see like in Nairobi, so many people are building flats without enough water and we have rain water. It should be compulsory that as you build flats, you should also provide an underground water tank and you should be able to harvest rain water instead of relying on Ndakaini water or crying all the time that you do not have water. I challenge Nairobians to come with a way of assisting the Government. Otherwise, it will be ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: No, the National Irrigation Farmers’ Association. Is it there? I am not aware of that association. That is what I was raising. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for also giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, if you look at Section 9(2)(g), “A registered private sector member’s organisation with a national outlook,” we do not have such an organisation in Kenya. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: From the outset, I also support the Bill. It will go a long way in protecting small depositors. Majority of Kenyans do not hold a lot of money in our banks. In fact, if I am not wrong, over 80 per cent of depositors in our local banks hold less than Ksh100,000. It is important that we protect them. I have heard Hon. Oundo saying that Ksh100,000 is nothing. Ksh100,000 is a lot of money. There are not many Kenyans who have that kind of money. Maybe when you get an opportunity, you need to retract that, so that you ... view
