• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will agree with me that we work under a budget, which is decided by this House. It is unfortunate that we have, for example, Perkerra Irrigation Scheme which might be requiring over Kshs100 million, but we cannot provide that amount of money. It is only important that this Parliament takes into consideration the Ministries that really touch on the lives of Kenyans, so that we can vote enough money that will enable us to operationalise these irrigation schemes. Regarding food security, we are already talking of lack of unga here, while we have irrigation schemes ... view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we allocated Kshs15 million, but it is true that not all the money has been released. We passed the Finance Bill and it has not been consented to. This means that the Government cannot fully spend all its money. However, the little amount of money that has been dispatched has been used at different levels. For example, we have the maintenance of the canal, repair of the water control gates, grading of the roads and castings installation of about 40 culverts. So, we are doing it in bits; one area after the other one. But once ... view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that can be considered but these days, we are very sensitive when it comes to issues of damming rivers. We have met a lot of resistance from the people who live within the areas that rivers are flowing from. Therefore, if a request is made, we shall go ahead and do feasibility studies and see whether it is viable, with the clearance 3984 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 10, 2008 of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). If such a kind of request is placed, we shall consider it. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not clearly understand his question. This is because we are dealing with Perkerra Irrigation Scheme. I have already given an answer here that the waters are not adequate. This means that there is a possibility that if you dam that river, even the little amount of water that is being received will not be there. Therefore, we have to carry out a feasibility study, to establish whether if we dam this river, it will be for the benefit or to the disadvantage of those carrying out irrigation schemes downstream. view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could Mr. Imanyara declare his interest in this Question? view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Even other hon. Members are complaining--- view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am wondering because he has not even asked for substantiation. He must be having some interest. He is not asking for substantiation. view
• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that 70 per cent of the water produced by Maseno Water Supply, which has its source at Emuhaya Constituency, is used in Emuhaya and the other 30 per cent is used in Nyanza Province. (b) I am further aware that Luanda Town and other areas that are served by Maseno Water Supply do not receive adequate water due to demand outstripping the supply. (c) Maseno Water Supply has been augmented over the years from the original capacity of 300 cubic metres per day to the present capacity of 2,400 ... view
• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can hear the loud consultations going on. view
• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the feasibility study we are carrying out is for the expansion because as you agree with me, the population has been growing very rapidly. I agree, the river can be able to supply water and that is why we are increasing. We want to make sure that by 2013, we shall be able to supply 8,600 cubic metres of water. However, on the issue on whether Emuhaya is receiving 70 per cent of the water or 30 per cent, the issue here is where the pipe ends. Whereas the main pipe comes from Emuhaya and ends at ... view
