• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Water and Irrigation, I beg to reply. (a) Rehabilitation and augmentation of Nakuru Water Supply and Sewerage Project is being undertaken through funding from the Government and the ADB. The rehabilitation and augmentation works commenced in the last Financial Year, 2006/2007, and are scheduled to be completed by mid 2009. (b) There were no pledges for funding of water projects in Nakuru Town by the ADB, GTZ and JICA prior to 2000. However, the GTZ provided funds for institutional capacity building for commercialisation of water services in Nakuru Town ... view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Nakuru Town receives an average of 35,000 cubic metres of water per day from various sources - including the greater Nakuru East Water Supply - against a demand of 65,000 cubic metres per day. Therefore, there is a shortfall of 30,000 cubic metres per day, thus necessitating water rationing in the town. The amount of cubic metres of water that will be added to the supply will meet the current demand of 65,000 cubic metres of water per day. view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once the project is fully operational, and the outlying areas which fall within the catchment area make a request, they will be connected to the water line. view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the questioner rightly puts it, water services in urban areas have been privatised. I know, for instance, that in Nairobi, the intake at October 3, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4289 Gatanga is being expanded, and water will be coming. So, what needs to be done is improvement of the services of the private companies. What appears to be scarcity of water is, really, efficient working of the private organisations as opposed to the past when people used to syphon water illegally. This is no longer happening. The intention is for the private companies to ensure ... view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the current information that is available concerns Nakuru District for the financial years, 2006/2007 and 2007/2008. In the last financial year, a total of Kshs12.5 million was spent in the district as follows:- The construction of rural water supplies at a cost of Kshs7.5 million and the construction of Naivasha Sewerage at a cost of Kshs5 million. In the current financial year, a total of Kshs77.9 million has been allocated in the larger Nakuru District for the following activities:- The construction of rural water supplies at a cost of Kshs32.5 million. The construction of urban ... view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is difficult to give that assurance. But once the scheme is complete, the demand, which is 65,000 cubic metres per day, will be supplied. I am sure that, if my friend could tell the people in Nakuru Town that, he will be assured of coming back! view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Lands, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of any allocation to a private developer of land belonging to Molo Police Station. (b) Given the response I have given in part (a) above, further action does not apply. view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I will ask the Minister to personally go and check. But the information that we have shows that in the approved Molo Development Plan No.33 of 1964, the land was earmarked for a police station. It measures 1.3 hectares and it is still intact. The land is clearly marked blue on the plan indicated. It is shown as a public utility land. That can be seen in the Ministry of Lands and even in the police station. The claim that has come from the Police Department that part of the land belonging to the ... view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is quite a serious matter that has been brought forward by the hon. Member for Makadara Constituency. Even though I am not the Minister for Lands, I feel very strongly that the police should never be used to protect any land grabber. I would like the hon. Member to give me the details of the public land that has been grabbed so that action can be taken immediately! I mean today and not even tomorrow! view
• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, somehow, we must cure Kenyans of land "grabiossis". It is serious. However, we actually need the details. With regard to when the Ndung'u Report will be tabled in this House, again, this is in the domain of the Minister for Lands, and I will convey the information to him so that it can be tabled here and discussed. With regard to the process of recovering land, I think it entirely depends on various Ministries. As far as the Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs is concerned, which I happen to be responsible ... view
