• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am still going on with the answer. (b) The Ministry of State for Special Programmes has no contractual arrangements with the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation (NWCPC) to repair the southern and northern dykes in Budalang'i. However, the Ministry, through the Western Kenya Community- Driven Development (CDD) and the Flood Mitigation Project has a partnership arrangement in which it provides supplementary support to the Corporation. The Ministry's mandate in the Nzoia Basin, through the project, is to construct new dykes as a long-term measure. July 9, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1691 (c) The Ministry is ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think being a new hon. Member and eager to work for his people, it is quite in order for him to be interested in so much at the same time! view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: The hon. Member wanted to seek some clarification about the tenders, where a consultant has undertaken a feasibility study for the repair work of two mini-hydro power projects in Kaimosi and Yala. This project is funded through our development partners, and most of the work follows the set guidelines that they have given us. At this particular juncture, I cannot really tell him how far this tendering process has gone, because everything is done within the set guidelines by the donors. However, in case the hon. Member will require more information, it will be important for him to pay a ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the projects are actually along the same line as I have explained. There are three main projects. It will be very important for the hon. Member to July 9, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1693 bring a specific Question concerning the greater Bondo and Siaya districts, so that I can give the progress report on what is happening in those two areas. view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Dr. Khalwale would also want to know what is happening in Kakamega District. It is important for us to be given an opportunity to give a more detailed report, which should be very long. In my answer, I just have the general points. I do not have specifics about the different districts, except where flood mitigation, for example, Budalangi, is taking place. view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, flood mitigation falls under two Ministries. One element falls under my Ministry and the other element falls under the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. This is a specific project for Western Province. This is what we have been dealing with and we are trying to extend the programme to the rest of the country. For the time being, we usually just respond to emergencies. We have not been able to roll out projects to the rest of the country. As for the people of Budalangi tearing into the dykes, I do not think that is the ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier on, the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation (NWCPC) is the one which is in charge of all the repairs. We, as a Ministry, also want to see that the work we have done is useful to the community and it is properly maintained. We will undertake to ensure that, as we partner with the NWPC, take care of all the vulnerable points when they need to be repaired. Of course, you cannot repair points which do not require repairs. view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the labourers, they were paid their wages. The hon. Member has alleged that they were paid 50 per cent. I do not know what he meant by 50 per cent. I will find out how much they were paid. He could be talking about 50 per cent yet, whatever he is calling 50 per cent might be the agreed rate. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Naunga mkono Hoja hii ya kutuwezesha kwenda nyumbani kwa muda wa mapumziko. Muda huu si wa mapumziko tu, mbali ni wakati wa kukutana na wale ambao walitupatia nafasi ya kuja kwenye Bunge hili la kifahari. Bw. Naibu Spika, kwanza, nataka kutoa shukrani kwa Wabunge na Wakenya wote, ambao waliungana na sisi siku ya Jumatatu ili kuweza kuchanga pesa za kuwasaidia wale ambao walifurushwa kutoka makwao baada ya uchaguzi. Nina furaha kusikia kwamba Bw. Spika aliita Kamukunji ya Wabunge wote. Sikuweko; nilikuwa nimeenda kazi Eldoret, lakini nimeambiwa habari nzuri, kwamba Wabunge wote wamekubali kila mmoja kutoa angalau ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Jambo la nidhamu, Bw. Naibu Spika. Ninafikiria, Mheshimiwa Haji ametaja wazi huyu Bw. Kilonzo--- Sio vizuri kwa mtu kumsingizia mtu maneno ambayo sio ya kweli! view
