• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Government, I beg that we wait for the Minister whom we expect to come any time. If by the end of Question Time, he will not have arrived, I undertake to inform him that he is supposed to answer the Question either by tomorrow or Thursday. He should come with an explanation as to why he was not here when the Question was called. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. My Ministry is constructing Ndikiki Water Supply which will serve Ndindiruku, Kiumbi and Kianugu areas that are traversed by Murubara Stream on the downstream of the Mwea GK Prison. The project which is estimated to cost Kshs25 million is being funded by IFAD and is about 40 per cent complete. When completed, this project will ensure that the residents of these areas have access to safe drinking water so as not to draw water from Murubara Stream. The Government, through the Ministry of Home Affairs, is rehabilitating the sewage disposal system ... view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have realized that hon. Members did not realize that I was freezing. I am supposed to be freezing or seated. There is a lot of freezing because of the Hague issue. That is what the consultation is all about. Further, construction of a sewer network and a soak pit is ongoing. Long term measures for a sewerage system to serve not only GK Prison but also Wanguru Urban Centre--- view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that was your ruling although the hon. Member is completely out of order. There is no way he can raise a point of order when he has not even listened to the full answer. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, long-term measures for a sewerage system to serve not only Mwea GK Prison but also Wanguru Urban Centre, Kimbimbi, Muthithi and Kandongu areas are under planning and design. My Ministry will implement the project when the design is completed in the next financial year. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that part of this Question should be addressed to the Ministry of Home Affairs but on our part, we have taken our challenge. That is why we have allocated Kshs25 million for the project. I want to assure the hon. Member that the money is there and we will complete the project very soon, meaning in the next four months. However, I agree that those who will not be served by this water system should get water from the borehole. If there is a possibility of us digging more boreholes, ... view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have to be honest. We are aware that there is seepage especially during the rainy season. The only emergency measure that we can take is to speed up this process. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I definitely agree with the hon. Members that the situation is serious. However, we should realise that, that prison has been there for almost 50 years and yet no action had been taken earlier on. We have taken action--- view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have read out the answer clearly. I have said that we are already undertaking a project worth Kshs25 million to correct the situation. However, from what the hon. Member has said, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation can close down the prison. Secondly, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources can also take action. The answer will be forthcoming if this House questions why these Ministries have not taken action. However, I have given a categorical answer concerning my Ministry. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are called the lawmakers because this House passes Bills. The Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation and the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources should be held responsible for not taking action. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation should be the undertaker, because it should make sure that the systems that we put in place should provide Kenyans with clean water at the end of the day. Other Ministries are involved if there is further seepage. view
