• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have launched a Rapid Response Initiative that ensures better service delivery and effective payments. view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I feel that, that is an absolutely different Question that requires a more substantive reply, I must confirm that Nairobi City Council is now in the process of compiling its full debtors list, including the retirees. I believe they will be paid in due course as the debtors list is consolidated. view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the medallion cash payments were done over a number of years. They were done on the basis of what I would call ex-gratia payments for people who had been given long service awards. As budgetary allocations were changed, it then became no longer a priority to pay ex-gratia payments. view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we were following the recommendation to suspend those ex-gratia payments. Another recommendation was to provide higher budgetary allocations every financial year to purchase medals and give other benefits; revert to the tradition of awarding employees. That had to be approved by a full council meeting. view

My Ministry, in appreciating the growing demand for a sewerage system for Kimende Township, has sought the services of the District Planning Officer who is to identify suitable land for the construction of a sewerage disposal system. The initial step has been undertaken by Kiambu County Council. We will liaise with the Ministry of Water and Irrigation to ensure that the facility is built. Once the suitable site is identified, then the process of procuring the parcel of land will commence. view

• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just indicating that last week, as you are aware, I was on a tour in South Rift. But the hon. Member was claiming that I was in the precincts of Parliament. If he was not under any illusion, I do believe that, probably, he was seeing a double vision. In that sense what I would want to state is that we have to become very creative in the way we manage our sewerage systems and how we get them working. One of the things that we have done is that we have started partnering with ... view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I highlighted the measures we have put in place. The measures include having sufficient budgetary provisions and--- view
• 20 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, obviously this is an issue of serious concern. We realize that Kimende is a district headquarters and we will give it the seriousness it deserves. We have given it the weight that is required and we will follow this issue through. I also invite the Member of Parliament to come to our office and we see what steps we can take together. view
