• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, my Committee took over the amendment requested by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. He called me and we agreed to take it up. It is the one on Clause 75. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT clause 75 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub clause 1 and substituting therefor the following new sub clause — (1)Each county government shall establish a water services provider. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I do not think there is a county with many. In most counties, we had many districts before. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, if they have one then there is no problem. For example, Embu County has sub-locations that have water services companies, which do not function well. Some of them are rip-offs. We create a law to enable counties administer the water services as counties and not as small segregated bodies. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the clarification sought is good and valid. Our understanding as a Committee is that we have a national resource called water, which may be traversing several counties. Therefore, the national Government will take this resource; get the water and give it to counties. You cannot go to a county and supply it to every small Tom, Dick and Harry. There must be a body within the county that is mandated in law to receive the water. If this body within the county decides that they can supply water to so many other agencies within the county ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: The Temporary Chairman, Sir, the point is taken. I believe the county governments will also have subsidiary legislation at county levels on how to deal with the smaller water providers within each county. This law is not cast in stone. If the Senate feels that there is something that needs to be addressed within the county, we are within the mandate as the overseer of county business. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 102 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub clause- “A water user may enter into an agreement with any person with respect to the execution and maintenance by any party to the agreement of such works as the water user considers necessary or as the conditions of the water user may require for the purposes of protecting the catchment areas, drainage of land; carrying out conservation measures and control of the vegetation or effectively collecting, conveying or preserving the purity ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 107 of the Bill be deleted. This was dealing with the sewerage levy while this Bill is mainly on water. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, this Bill in all sections is dealing with water resources, management and delivery. It is not dealing with waste water management. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 109 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (1) by inserting the words“georeferenced” immediately after the words “monitoring and”. We had said this earlier on. When we talk of a geodatabase, if it is not georeferenced, it may not give location of where the services are being rendered. That is why we wanted to add the word georeferenced view
