• 8 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My point of order is also to seek clarification from the Chair, because the tradition of this House is that when an hon. Member rises for clarification on a statement made, they are not supposed to make their own statement or contribute to the debate. They should concentrate on the issue and seek clarification. If I am not wrong, and the HANSARD can prove me right, half of the hon. Members who have stood up made their own statements and did not even seek clarification. This is what Mr. ole Ntimama stood ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It has been the tradition of this House that whenever a Question is raised by Private Notice, no other Member can stand in for that hon. Member. Therefore, this Question should be dropped! view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Ndakaini Dam was constructed for a worthy purpose and that was to impound flowing water and ensure adequate supply of water to Nairobi during the dry seasons. The dam, therefore, contributes positively towards regulating flows in Thika River and Yatta Canal which otherwise put to risk human lives and property. (b) My Ministry is undertaking detailed design of Yatta Dam this financial year and intends to start implementation in the next financial year in order to ease water shortage in Matuu and along the canal. (c) My ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we will consider the allocation in the next financial year. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you agree with me that circumstances have really changed. By the time the hon. Member asked this Question, the NARC Government which was in place, was in turbulent waters. At the beginning of this year, the PNU Coalition Government came into place. Today, we have the Grand Coalition Government. You also agree with me that I have only been in charge of this Ministry for the last three months. I want to assure the hon. Member that I will take the responsibility to make sure that these monies are allocated in the next financial year. That ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are not dealing with policies. I would like to correct hon. Khalwale on that. We are dealing with issues of allocation. The policies remain but the allocation can change. If the Government committed itself to doing this last year and there was no money to do it, then the best thing is to change. We are aware, and I have stated clearly, that the Ministry is making detailed designs of the Yatta Dam this financial year. After that, I will ensure that we allocate funds. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. This House is now on live coverage, and the records will be there. We even have the HANSARD. Mr. K. Kilonzo imputed an improper motive on some Ministers when he stated that when Ministers are not here to answer Questions, as it happened with Mr. Kimunya, they are out there doing dubious activities. He said that! I think it is only fair that Mr. K. Kilonzo withdraws the remarks and apologises to Ministers and Assistant Ministers. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The issue we are dealing with here is imputing an improper motive. Whether he uses the word "dubious" or "mischievous", they are the same. He owes this House an apology. Otherwise, this trend will be so dangerous to us. When we sit in this House, and because there is a serious issue going on, as hon. Members in the Opposition are saying, it is only good that you do not hurt the feelings of others. It is good for you to accept that hon. K. Kilonzo owes us an apology. view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that my Ministry has initiated 225 water point sources and boreholes from 1980 to mid 1993 and upgraded two boreholes. That is, C7865, Khalaba Primary School and C8385, Matungu Primary School since 2001, to piped pumping water schemes which are operational and are currently serving a total of over 56,000 and 2,000 people, respectively. (b) The Ministry has allocated Kshs3.9 million in the current Financial Year for the 1576 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 2, 2008 construction of the proposed Matunga Rural Water Project, which will serve Matunga Trading Centre, ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the duration will depend on the tendering system, but the money should be spent within this Budget year. Secondly, we always look at the target of people that we want to provide water to. Once that line is complete, it will serve 4,000 people. view
