• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Commission on Revenue Allocation forms one of the vital and basic reasons why Kenyans agitated for a new Constitution. It has been alleged that in the past, resources in this country have not been equitably allocated. I am so happy with the membership of this Commission, more importantly, the proposed Chairman of this Commission, Mr. Micah Cheserem, who is one of the best accountants that we have in the East and Central Africa. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really want to disagree with hon. C. Kilonzo because a precedent has been set in this House not so long ago, just about two or three weeks ago, whereby the Speaker approved a Motion and when it was being debated, it was ruled to be unconstitutional. So it is not wrong that this Motion was approved by the Speaker but with the concern of the Members, it can again be ruled otherwise. I remember very well that the Motion on the criteria for allocating CDF money was approved by the Speaker but when it came ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. In doing so, I am aware that the Minister for Water and Irrigation is ahead of us because she has actually implemented this Motion. That is a very good gesture by the Ministry. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, it is very important that she revisits the Water Act, 2000, so that it can be structured in a way that all this can be captured in line with the new Constitution. If you look at these water services boards, for instance, the one that serves my area, the Tana ... view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The selection of the projects will be implemented based on the Lake Basin Strategic Plan 2010/2012 which is derived from national priorities such as Vision 2030 and the Millennium Development Goals, among others. (b) It is not true that the Lake Basin Development Authority has not invested in Kuresoi and the entire Mau area because there are conservation programmes currently being undertaken in the area by the authority. (c) The creation of regional development authorities is based on the drainage systems of the major rivers and the large water bodies. Thus, the ... view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although the Lake Basin Development Authority has managed to do afforestation in the areas around the Mau Ecosystem, I am not satisfied that the Kuresoi area has been adequately addressed with regard to the development activities there. I confirm that the main project of development in that area has been the rehabilitation of the Timoeta–Matunda Dam and the restoration of the wetland area of the Chemosit River that drains in the other end as Sondu-Miriu River. I confirm that we will do those two projects during this financial year. view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The board members of the Ewaso Ng’iro South Development Authority and the respective districts they represent are as follows: Mr. Jeremiah Risa Nakaa, Kajiado Central. Lt-Gen. (Retired) Nick Leshan, Narok North, Mrs. Beatrice Mukabana, Nairobi, Mr. David Kitashu, Loitokitok; Dr. Stasigei Konongoi, Trans Mara, Mr. Wilfred ole Pere, Kajiado North, Mr. Jonathan S. Kirorey, Narok South; Mr. Dominic Ndoto Mwangi, Kipipiri; Mr. Mohamed Adan Osman, Nairobi; Mr. Hosea Kiplagat, Nakuru; Mr. Chacha Mwita, Kuria; Mr. Jonathan K. Too, Kuresoi. The board members of Ewaso Ng’iro North Development Authority and the districts they ... view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that in both the Ewaso Ng’iro South and Ewaso Ng’iro North boards, there is no board member from Ol Kalou Constituency. But Ewaso Ng’iro South Development Authority covers 18 districts or 18 constituencies and Ewaso Ng’iro North Development Authority covers 27. As I have said, the Act mandates the Minister to appoint a maximum of 12 board members. So, you will agree with me that there will be no Regional Development Authority that will be able to absorb the board members from all the areas of its jurisdiction. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, ... view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank my good neighbour for that correction. It is true that Kipipiri and Ol Kalou are two different constituencies. I wanted to say that Ol Kalou is in the larger Nyandarua District together with Kipipiri. Coming to his question, I really agree with the hon. Member that there are about five constituencies, namely; Ol Kalou, Ndaragwa, Kieni, Laikipia East and Laikipia West, which are so crucial to the survival of Ewaso Nyiro River. Although I can prove that those constituencies have not been left out in terms of development, in terms of representation on ... view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Jonathan K. Too was in the Board of Ewaso Nyiro South Development Authority, which we inherited from the previous Board. Every Board serves for three years. According to the Act, one qualifies to be re- appointed. Having evaluated the performance of Mr. Jonathan K. Too in the previous Board upon the expiry of his contract, we found that he had performed. So, we saw the need for his re-appointment as a Board member. Maybe, as the hon. Member has said, if he does not come from Kuresoi, he represents the original Molo District on that Board, ... view
• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that Ol Kalou, as a constituency, is crucial as I said in my earlier reply. We have done two dams in that constituency – Bahati Ex-Colony Dam and Ayub Mwangi Dam – and we are going to do more dams. I just want to tell my good friend, hon. Erastus Mureithi, that my Ministry, in conjunction with the Ministry for the Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands, has called for a meeting through Ewaso Nyiro North Development Authority to be held in Nairobi on 25th November, 2010, for the 27 Members of ... view
