Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Bill because most of us have been advantaged to observe closely, the behaviour of our youth in this country. I can tell you that, really, with the route we are taking, if nothing is done, we are going to lose not only one generation, but generations to come. Today, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I try to consider the young men who are below the age of 30, and this is one of the groups that we have completely lost because when you get to the streets or ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he does not partake beer. I can even confess that he is always drunk with Coca Cola brand. However, I talked about the likes of him, meaning those who can afford and enjoy wine, champagne, Tusker and other types of drinks. The old man or the young man in the village, who has Kshs20 to buy cane, can also have time to enjoy it. The problem we have is not whether they enjoy it or not, but our major concern is how these drinks render them impotent. They not only render them impotent in production ...

. The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) must satisfy the standards of the alcohol content. Let the people of Coast Province have their mnazi which is approved and accepted that it is a healthy alcoholic drink. We only have to limit the time. Alcohol has high content, but we have to limit the time it can be consumed which should be between 6.00 pm and 10.00 pm. By that time, a young man will have experienced a blackout, but will have no chance of waking up at 3.00 a.m. or 4.00 a.m. and continue drinking it. Secondly, people will argue ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to start by saying that really, this is a historic moment for this country. This is the time to tell Kenyans the truth because by the end of the day, they will listen to us. Kenyans watch their television screens and have the HANSARD that they can go through this year, next year and even some decades to come. We should be able to inform Kenyans on what we are going through, not coming here to do politics everyday and do political posturing. Kenyans do not really understand the process we are ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Nyanyaa Water Project was implemented in three phases as follows: Phase I - Nyanyaa Community Water Project started in 1997 when the Egyptian Government, through the Kenya-Egypt Technical Co-operation Program sited, drilled and equipped Kusyani Borehole in Mandu Village, Lower Yatta District. Under that program, 100 productive boreholes were drilled in the whole country at a cost of US$5 million. The works were completed in 1998. Phase II â In 1999, the community organized a water committee whose objective was to distribute water from the borehole with the help of the donors. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, that project was implemented by different agencies. The Ministry was only monitoring the progress. Otherwise, issues of procurement, implementation and procedure were being handled by different agencies. They were, sometimes, not willing to share the information with the local communities. However, Mr. Speaker, Sir, our Ministry is going to make sure that if there are issues preventing wananchi from getting water, they will be resolved.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, that problem will be tackled by Phase IV. I have said that my Ministry, through Tana and Athi Water Services Board, is planning to implement that phase with the funds that we shall receive in the 2010/2011 Financial Year. We are yet to decide how much we shall give to the project. But you can see the history of this project. We have always pumped in over Kshs10 million. So, I do not expect the Ministry to give less than what other agencies have provided.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion because we were recalled earlier than was expected, the reason being that we come and address the major and most important issue that Kenyans have been waiting for, for the last 20 years. That is the issue of the Constitutional Review. Each and every Member must remember that every day lost means then there was no need of us being recalled earlier than was expected. Secondly, those who feel that they are offended, or aggrieved in one way or the other by this list, should also be reminded that they have ...
