• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have indicated, we have six catchment strategies as follows: The Lake Victoria North, the Lake Victoria South, the Rift Valley Catchment, Athi Catchment, Tana and Uaso Nyiro Catchment. There are officers who are stationed there. These are not district water officers and Members must know that in conservation, it is not the district water officers who are used. In every district there is an officer from WRUA. So you have to walk to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation offices in your constituency or district and ask the WRUA office. They have all the ... view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry, through the Tana Water Service Board, is currently undertaking rehabilitation of Timau Water Supply at a cost of Kshs36 million, which on completion, is going to supply clean and adequate water to Timau Township. (b) My Ministry has no plans of sinking a bore hole for Timau Sub-District Hospital as the ongoing rehabilitation of Timau Water Supply will improve the water supply to the hospital. The hospital will be supplied with water through a fifteen metre diameter pipeline from the mains. (c) Once rehabilitation of Timau water supply is completed, ... view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think you agree with me that having given this township Kshs36 million, the answer cannot be casual. When I said it has been allocated, it is this financial year. It is now upon the Ministry to go ahead and start the use of this money so that the Member of Parliament can see work going on. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure you that I am an interested party in this case because Timau serves both my people and Mr. Ruteere’s people. Therefore, I cannot give a casual answer. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, last year when we experienced drought in the county, we made sure that we took mitigation measures, whereby we could give each dispensary a water tank of about 10,000 litres. This means that each could cushion a dispensary for over six months. If there are dispensaries in the country which are really needy and have no water, then we would like to know them. We will then be able to do the same for them. It is easy; we would have gutters and water tanks as an emergency measure. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important for Members to be patient. Even before I gave half my answer, the hon. Member was already on a point of order. We are also making sure that we supply water to other sub-district hospitals, health centres and where it is not possible for us to have piped water, we are making sure that we drill boreholes. In the case of Timau, I have assured the hon. Member that there is no need of drilling the borehole because he can get water through gravity to serve the dispensary. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question of breakages is a matter of the water companies that run the particular facilities. However, you will agree with me that we cannot say that we are adequately prepared because it is based on the budget that we are allocated by the Ministry of Finance and the Budgetary Committee. We are trying our level best. What we are doing is mitigation and in cases where we do not have water, we try to supply. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it would not be convenient for us to have dispensaries, health centres or sub-district hospitals operating without water. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as usual, there are Government procedures whereby there is acquisition if there is any tender to be done. I, however, want to assure the Member that this will be done as fast as we can. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is not in order for the hon. Member to insinuate that what I said in this House was not true. We are still carrying out--- view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already said that I have personal interest on this issue of Timau. It serves my people and his people almost at 50/50. I, therefore, think I should not mislead my people, his people and this House. We are going to rehabilitate Timau Water System. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not on a point of order. I am just concerned because majority of those Members are in “No” campaign. I was just wondering whether they are also saying no to the constituents by not asking the Questions. view
