• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am straining to listen to the questions because of loud consultations. view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that the town has over 50,000 people but the only water source that we have can only serve 10,000 people. In the other areas like Ongata, we can only be able to serve 3,000 people. In Lolgorian, we can only serve 2.500 people. That is the source that we have. That is why we want to draw water from Migori. Last week I said that we already have Kshs482 million for supply of water to the three districts of Migori, Trans Mara and Kuria. When we augment all these projects and we get that ... view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, forming a water company depends on so many things. First, whether we have sources of water, second, whether there are enough customers to purchase the water and third, whether it would be cost effective to do that. We might end up with a water company that cannot even run or manage itself. If we are convinced that the Narok/Trans Mara Water Company can manage itself, then we can go ahead and form it. But this far, we know that Trans Mara cannot be able to manage itself. It cannot be self-sustaining. view
• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to know from the hon. Member whether they can be served by one borehole. If we can be able to supply them from one borehole, then I can assure the hon. Member that we can do one borehole for him on an emergency basis. Then we shall consider the next one later but the most urgent one can be done in the next one month. view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I stand to support this Vote, because I have no doubt in the ability of the Minister and his Assistant Minister. I have known the Minister for over 12 years. I have seen him run other Ministries. I have no doubt in my mind that he is a Minister with the right Assistant Minister in the Ministry. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also support this Vote because I believe that the staff - the Permanent Secretary and technical officers in the Ministry – have the capacity to ... view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, they should also be able to come up with a way of punishing rogue engineers. We have heard of several cases of buildings collapsing, but to date, nobody can stand up and say: “This person was responsible.” If we leave the engineers to discipline themselves, who will discipline his brother? They will collude in all these things. That is why we are requesting that he brings a Bill here and we will pass it to give him teeth, so that he can start working. view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: This Ministry does not have enough officers. The Minister promised to promote a certain District Works Officer in my constituency, but he has not done so. It is very rare that an MP recommends an officer to be promoted. Mr. Deya is very hardworking. These officers require assistance. If there is an architect, give him a qualified one. Today, all the money has been concentrated in the constituency. How do we expect only one officer, an architect, to go ahead and do all the drawings for Kshs30 million for the special school, classrooms for the CDF, or Kshs20 million for ... view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the envisaged new constitution, we are all calling for devolution of powers. We have already started devolution by posting district commissioners in almost every constituency. By the time we come up with the new constitution, every constituency will be upgraded to a district. That is the idea of devolution. view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: We do not want to go into devolution when we have district headquarters in Lodwar which was constructed using Kshs10 million and another one in Laikipia for view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) Failure of water supply in Migori Municipality was caused by disconnection of power supply due to non-payment of outstanding bills of Kshs1,418,574,000. (b) My Ministry, through the Lake Victoria South Water Service Board settled part of the Bill, that was Kshs350,000 and further Kshs600,000 has been paid by my Ministry hence ensuring power supply reconnection. My Ministry also has plans to undertake the following measures to improve water supply to the municipality: (i) Intensity efficient revenue collection from water consumers. (ii) Purchase and install a standby generator for emergency power supply ... view
