• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, under Head 282 on page 532, there is an Item on Basic Wages. It is under Mount Kenya East Pilot Project. As you recall, during my contribution yesterday, I raised issues about this project. Now, there is an increase this financial year from Kshs25 million to Kshs40 million. Could the Minister explain who has been employed and where because this project is actually a white elephant? view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, on page 532, there is this Item on Training Expenses. It is 2210700. It has gone up this year by Kshs20 million. The Minister, while explaining the issue of basic salaries which I had addressed earlier on, he talked about these training expenses. If, indeed, there is an increase in the training expenses, when the project is in its third year, why is it then that there is less in the area of construction which is shown as Item 3110500? Why is there a corresponding balance? view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it would be very difficult if I were to ask questions to hon. Members who do not have the Printed Estimates. The Minister for Water and Irrigation is not complaining! view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, repeating the question will even help the Minister, if the other one is incapacitated. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was just saying that earlier on, when I raised the issue on the first Item on the increase in basic salaries, the Minister explained that there was the element of training and such things. I am now pointing out that there is a specific provision for training expenses, which means, therefore, that the earlier explanation about the increase is not so much about training. Therefore, his earlier explanation that the increase in basic salaries was ... view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, now that the Minister has talked bout the issue of construction of civil works, which fall under Item 3110500, whose allocation has jumped from more than Kshs74 million to Kshs169 million, and since this particular allocation shown here is not provided for in the district allocations, could he specify here, for the entire House to know, where those particular civil works are located? We cannot find them in the district allocations he has printed for us. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want the Minister to listen to this one very carefully. I am referring to page 533, Head 714. There is only one Item. I want this Head compared with Head 716. My question is this: Under Head 714, the Item is given as Item 2630100, described as "Capital Grants to Government Agencies and Other Levels of Government" and allocated Kshs80 million. Under Head 716, the Item is "Water Services Trust Fund". The other one is headed "Water Services Boards". There are two Items on which I would like to get an explanation from the ... view

• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, that is why I said that the Minister should listen carefully. Under Water Services Boards, Head, 716, the first Item is 2630100. It is Capital Grants to Government Agencies and Other Level of Government - Kshs549 million plus. The next Item is 2630200. A different Item number. But the description is: Capital Grants to Government Agencies and Other Levels of Government - Kshs5 million. Why could you not put them together and give an allocation of Kshs554 million? What is the explanation? view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is the last one! I can see that the Minister is worried! I just want to view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: raise a general issue with regard to page 537, Head 785, Item 3110500, Construction and Civil Works. I raised this issue, that the Minister has merely allocated Kshs555 million to the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation. view
