• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: (b) Commercial boats have not been authorized by TARDA for use on the reservoir. However, a few locals own boats which they use for subsistence fishing on the reservoir but without permission from TARDA. These boats are sometimes unmanned or abandoned. Any such activity whenever brought to the attention of the authority is highly discouraged. It would appear that the two students who drowned used one of such abandoned boats. On safety measures, the Authority has designated entry or access points to the reservoir which are used during organized and guided tours. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: (c) The incident was a trespass on TARDA property by the organizers of the visit; that is, St. Christopher’s Day Secondary School, Nembure, and, therefore, TARDA neither authorized nor was it aware of such a visit and, hence, cannot be held responsible. However, TARDA deeply regrets the loss of the two young Kenyans during the incident. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is TARDA which is in charge of the water in the reservoir. However, for TARDA to be held responsible, any organized group that would like to have site-viewing of the reservoir must pass through the official gate or the official entry point to the reservoir. By doing so, they will be provided with guided tours and patrols as they go to the reservoir. In this case, the bus that was carrying the students did not pass through the authorized gates to the reservoir. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, TARDA can only be held responsible if at all the tour to the reservoir was authorized, there was communication so that they planned for it and they ensure that unsafe points are not visited by the would-be tourists. In this case, I would advise my honorable friend that the school should be held responsible for taking the students to the site-viewing of the reservoir without communicating to the institution, which is TARDA. Therefore, we were not aware. Actually, as an institution, we learnt about that incident when it had already occurred and the police had ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first I apologize for coming late. I beg to reply. (a) I wish to table the list of the projects funded by the Ewaso Ng’iro North Development Authority (ENNDA) using the 2010/2011 budgetary provision of Kshs2.3 billion. In the identification of the projects, the region was categorized into four zones, each zone comprising of a number of counties as per the write-up below. (b) The location, cost and status in terms of completion of each project is as shown in the list. The list is so detailed and I have discussed it with the Member. I ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the Printed Estimates of the last Financial Year 2010/2011, ENNDA was allocated Kshs2.3 billion. However, the Authority only received Kshs1.8 billion. With regard to the Kshs500 million that was never received, we had appealed to the Treasury and to Parliament through the relevant Parliamentary Committee to have the money re-allocated for the projects that were budgeted for by ENNDA. We received the whole of Kshs1.8 billion, but not all of it was utilized because some projects that were budgeted for have not yet started, but they are going to start. We received Kshs1.8 billion out ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I really want to thank the Member for Imenti Central for the good time and support that they gave us on the ground. We have a Budget of Kshs86 million for Kianjuri Dam, which has not yet started because it is a big dam of 12 metres high with an approximately 1.2 million cubic metres of water. We are awaiting approval from NEMA, the Kenya Forest Service and the Kenya Wildlife Service. About the location of the site, if it is not in Imenti Central, then that is a mistake. The dam has ... view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I visited these projects as the Member has said, but I listed the projects in terms of constituencies because North Imenti--- view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my answer, I have put districts/constituencies. I just wanted to give the information that North Imenti is a constituency, but it has two districts, one of them being Buuri District. It is true that the project is in North Imenti constituency, but in one of the districts, Buuri, within North Imenti Constituency. So, I think we are both right. view
• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that, that is the biggest Authority out of the six and it covers ten counties which are very big and most of them are in dry areas. The Authority covers 39 per cent of the land mass of this country. But our needs have never been equal to our resources. So, the little we get--- In fact, this is the first time we have received the highest budget allocation of Kshs1.8 billion. It is because it was part of the Economic Stimulus Programme monies that were given to that Authority. So, with the little ... view
