  • 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us just check the file; may be it is a question of numbering. I wish the Question to be deferred. view
  • 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will pass over the information to my colleague. VIOLENT ARREST/BRUTAL BEATING OF HON. KOMBE view
  • 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry plans to drill and equip at least 188 boreholes in 50 districts as well as 264 small dams and water pans in 51 districts. Currently, the target has been exceeded because of the rigours mainly due to the drought. (b) The allocation of boreholes is as follows: ASAL - 5 boreholes in each of the following districts: Turkana, West Pokot, Kajiado, Makueni, Marakwet, Kitui, Mwingi, Samburu, Marsabit, Isiolo, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Moyale and Laikpia. Four boreholes in each of the following districts: Narok, Keiyo, Machakos, Rachuonya, Taita- Taveta, Tana ... view
  • 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to advise the hon. Member to be in touch with my officers on the ground, so that he can be in the picture and also assist my officers to decide where these boreholes could be sunk. However, as far as the issue of cost is concerned, it 1998 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 12, 2006 varies from one region to the other depending on the depth of the borehole and other circumstances. However, it ranges between Kshs1 million and Kshs2 million. view
  • 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that my officers were unable to strike water at that point. You will realise that about 20 per cent of the boreholes sunk come out to be dry. The other 80 per cent are successful. Once we give a contract, the contract is paid depending on depth. If they sink about 200 metres, for example, and they do not find water, we still have to pay for that. In this financial year, if that area still has a water problem, we will survey another area and see whether we can strike water. view
  • 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if that question was put to me independently, I will address the problem, but generally, I would like to advise the hon. Member that, in view of the same, my Ministry has set aside funds for projects run by communities where they can apply for funds, that is in the Water Trust Fund (WTF) and they will be able to address those kind of problems. view
  • 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the concerns raised by the hon. Member are similar to the concerns which were raised by the Chair. We, as a Ministry, are trying to address this issue so that we can improve on efficiency, especially when it comes to siting boreholes. I have instructed my officers to be diligent in their work. We are monitoring the efficiency. Where we find that an officer is not performing, we will take action. However, some of the problems are related to the machines some of the officers are using, which are outdated. We are trying to get better ... view
  • 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I respect your ruling on this issue. But when Dr. Oburu was making his Personal Statement, he indicated that when you address the Press and say that you will summon a Minister, it does not amount to "summoning through the Press." I would like your ruling on that issue because tomorrow, another hon. Member will summon a Minister at a funeral, yet, according to Dr. Oburu, that does not amount to summoning. When you speak to the Press and tell members of the public that you will be summoning so-and-so, is ... view
  • 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, since I heard hon. Gedion Moi move only two subsections of this clause, I think you should allow him to move the whole clause as it is. He should be honourable enough and move the whole Clause as it is. view
  • 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that about 40 per cent of the shallow wells sunk by the Kenya-Finland Western Water Supply Programme (KFWWSP) in Busia District are not functional. (b) The management committees of these wells do not receive any monetary allocation from my Ministry. The user communities are supposed to pay monthly water use fees and other charges as set out in their respective by-laws for rehabilitation, operations and maintenance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the recent past, however, some communities in the district have received financial support for rehabilitation of stalled wells from ... view
