(b) My Ministry has settled the outstanding electricity bill and the water supply is operational as at 14th April, 2010, and the situation is back to normal. I am also in the process of revitalizing Amstar Water Company so that water services can be provided reliably in this area. I wish to request the hon.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that the Member has raised a very serious allegation of mismanagement which requires to be investigated either through a Memberâs Motion or the Ministryâs Motion.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Question that the Member asked was whether the Minister is aware that the water supply system of Vihiga District Hospital has totally failed. I have answered him that the shortage of water was as a result of non- payment of electricity bills. If he is claiming that there is a shortage of water, that is a different Question, which I am ready to address. I have committed myself that I will investigate whether there is mismanagement or there is enough supply of water. Secondly, Lake Victoria is a water service board and not a water service ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as to whether I would be able to lay on the table the list of roads, I think that is definitely a different Question. For now, my Ministry has given priority to specific roads that it would like factored in. All this would be to the extent that Treasury would be able to fund them. At this particular point I would not be able to know how much will be factored in Budget and where it will go in particular.
