• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: (a) The delay in the completion and commissioning of Naivasha Water Supply Project was due to processing of tax exemption at the Treasury and lack of transformers at the Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited (KPLC). The KPLC has now procured transformers and its personnel are currently on site installing them. The major components of the project were completed in April, 2010 except installation of power. The project is expected to be completed by the end of this month. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: (b) The sewerage system currently being operated in Naivasha was commissioned in the late 1970s to serve a population of 30,000 people. The population has since grown to more than three times and this is causing a strain on the sewerage system. My Ministry has allocated Kshs10 million for the rehabilitation of the sewerage system. The contractor has been procured, mobilized and is currently carrying out the rehabilitation. view

• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is always good to be cool. You need to relax so that you can be consistent with what you ask. I have been taken head on for issues that have not even been raised in this Question. I want the Chair to listen to me because these are serious allegations from the other side and it is only good sometimes to go through the HANSARD so that Members of Parliament who accuse Ministers--- Since we are covered live, any serious allegations raised by hon. Members to show the incompetence of a Minister have further ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: However, this was delayed for four months because the African Development Bank (ADB) had to seek tax exemption from the Treasury before they could release this project to us. Although, the Ministry had applied for this tax exemption, it was delayed for four months. By April, we were able to get tax exemption which can never be processed by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. It can only be processed by the Treasury. There was no way the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) could have connected us until the project was completed. We applied to the KPLC on 23rd ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you have followed this Question closely, we have been able to answer the hon. Member on all the issues that he has raised on KPLC and the delay. When you are not emotional, you ask questions in a consistent manner. The hon. Member has got a very viable question, but he is carried by emotions--- view

• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, they are combined. First, I agree that the Kshs10 million we have given for rehabilitation is a drop in the ocean.
