• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that Lerata borehole in Samburu East District broke down on 20th October, 2009. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: (b) Immediately the breakdown was reported, technical officers were dispatched to carry out diagnosis of the problem. The first diagnosis revealed that the bearings were worn out. However, after replacing the bearings, the shaft of the windmill was found to be defective. To acquire the spare parts of the windmill took a long time as the spares are not locally available and had to be imported. The borehole repair was completed on 20th March, 2010 and it is now operational. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it would be unfortunate if that is what happened; we repaired it and in two days, it broke down. However, I would like to investigate whether it was reported and if it was reported, why we are not aware about it. Nonetheless, I am willing to send my officers on the ground at the convenience of the hon. Member, so that we can ascertain the position and take action. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have a master plan on issues concerning water hydrological surveys, water harvesting and all sorts of view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: preparations that are required. However, sometimes, we hit the ground and discover that the water is not sustainable. The water yields coming from the borehole are very little. So, it depends on case by case and where we are locating those boreholes. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you obviously will agree with me that, that will depend on the economy; how the country is performing economically. That is because for us to advance technologically, it means we either have go to actual grid power or to solar panels. That is not currently available because of our economy. But by 2030, I believe we shall have achieved all that as it has already been well planned. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the missionaries were maintaining that borehole when it was new. You know that when technology becomes obsolete, it starts getting problems. But I want to assure the hon. Member that I will send the officers. He will tell me the time when he wants the officers to be there. They will be dispatched from Isiolo on Friday and they will be in his constituency. However, he should give me more information on where they should connect with him. We shall ensure that the borehole will be in good working condition. view
