• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just consulting with my officers whether there could be any duplication. But I have confirmed that there is no duplication. It is funds meant to go to organizations which we are affiliated to, for example, HAMCOW and the Nile Basin Initiative which are some of our organizations. These kind of money is used for those operations and all countries contribute to the same. There is no duplication. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the hon. Member is talking about "corrupt means" which is unparliamentary but I want to assure him that there is no corruption. These receipts are from various sources; like the sales we are making. In every area, there are sales from water, sewerage services and so on. Those receipts amount to that. I want to assure the hon. Member that the money we are talking about is not for corruption. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we are talking about receipts or monies being received, for example, when you have tender documents or assets for disposal. Those are some of the receipts we receive. If you buy a tender document in my Ministry, that is how we capture it. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is a very important process that we are going through. I want to assure the hon. Member that we are not disbanding it. We have moved it to the Headquarters under Head 567. So, it is still on. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I know the hon. Member has a lot of interest in this and so do I. I want to assure him that this project has a component of support on the communities; by training and empowering them. This has to be done by officers who have to be recruited and paid for the same. This is an area that we need to look at very carefully. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, August 22, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3413 Sir, this figure covers all donor-funded projects throughout the country and also the Government component of this. So, these projects are not in one area. They are spread all over and funded by different donors and that is why they have been lumped together. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to confirm that there is no error. I want to confirm to the hon. Member that this project also covers the projects I launched with him in Kisumu. So, there is no error. The only difference is that it includes revenue, GOK and donor component. So, that is the disparity in terms of the figures, but there is no error at all. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as I said, these projects have more to do with issues of water and agriculture, environment, capacity building, construction, et cetera . If you look at the amounts involved, you will see that they have doubled. Of course, we expect that, with that kind of work in terms of construction, training, et cetera, there will be more spending in this line. view
• 22 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would encourage the hon. Member to read more from the District Allocations Books. As I said, we have brought together all the funds for donor-funded projects under one Vote Head. The works will differ from one area to another. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, talking of the area he comes from, we are now moving to actual activities, which include construction of the tanks he has been complaining about. We now want to do them more and more. We want to connect more people to piped water. We want to be on the ground. ... view
