• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, last year, in February, the company held a Special Annual General Meeting and they changed the shareholding such that now, all the councillors are shareholders in the water company. Nakuru Town has been suffering from water shortages for a very long time. It is one of the biggest challenges which that town suffers from. Why is the Ministry averse to this situation, whereby the shareholding was changed in February, 2006, and the election was held on 8th August, 2006, whereby three directors representing the various stakeholders were kicked out of the Board of Directors. Now, the company ... view
• 17 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to commend him for his answer. I would also like to commend him for agreeing that it is an illegality that the shareholding changed, if it so happened. The spirit in which the Water Act was enacted in 2002 was preceded by the Water and Sanitation Sessional Paper. This company changed its shareholding and it is now wholly owned by the councillors. All the stakeholders, namely, the Kenya Manufacturers Association, the consumer and women representatives are hand-picked by the councillors. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the shareholding changed, could the Assistant Minister now take action ... view

• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Nakuru Town has been suffering from a perennial water shortage and the big problem comes from the water service provider. Could the Assistant Minister tell us why the Ministry allowed the water service provider change the Articles of Association after signing the contract by increasing the number of shares? Now, all the councillors in the town have shares and these shares have perpetual shareholding. Secondly, could he also tell the House why the Ministry allowed councillors to be the ones who determine who the consumer stakeholder, business person stakeholder and who are the women stakeholders sitting ... view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Presidential Speech which he gave yesterday. I want to commend most of the economic gains that this Government has achieved. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as other hon. Members mentioned, the trickle-down effect is taking a while. But I believe that the process has already started. That is what is most important. The other issue that I want to support, is the fact that the President mentioned that the Government is going to start a women enterprise fund. This will go a long way ... view
