• 25 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government has already sourced Kshs6 billion for construction of three dams up-stream to contain flooding in Budalangi. I want to assure the hon. Member that I am in charge and in control of matters in Budalangi. view
• 25 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this project was initiated only when leaders in that area came up with the proposal. view
• 25 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Flooding is a problem that the people of Budalangi have lived with for quite some time. It has been perennial. That is why the current Minister and his predecessor worked very hard to source for this money. view
• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that my Ministry designed Mukwa-Siboti-Kibuke Water Project in 2004 and its implementation is being funded by Bumula Constituency Development Fund (CDF). (b) Currently, my Ministry, through the Nile Basin Initiative, is implementing Angurai Water Supply, which is an expansion of Malaba/Kocholia Water Project. The expansion of this water project has been designed to link with Mukwa-Siboti-Kibuke Water Project. I would like to assure the hon. Member that the project will be linked up and be completed by January, 2007. view
• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member knows that when we, as a Ministry, prepared the design for that project, we used money. If the technical services that we offered can be quantified, he will realise that we used money on the project. The committee overseeing the implementation of that project has not out-sourced the services. We are equally spending money on the Nile Basin Initiative and have it linked to Mukwa-Siboti-Kibuke Water Project, so that his constituents can have enough water. Even the CDF money is from the same Ministry. view
• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been very clear, that we want to link up the project in Bumula with the one in Angurai. The Ministry also plans to implement water supply projects in Bungoma District at a cost of Kshs30,933,000 once the European Union releases funds earmarked for them this financial year. So, we already have earmarked sufficient funds to implement water projects in that area. view
• 20 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will repeat what I had said because the hon. Member does not seem to understand. We already have Kshs30,933,000 for water projects in Bungoma District, where Bumula belongs. Moreover, in the current financial year, under the Nile Basin Initiative, we have provided Kshs2 million for Khasoko Water Project and another Kshs2 million for another water project at Machwele. The Ministry will further spend July 20, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2255 Kshs3 million on a borehole at Machwele and Kshs500,000 at Miluki in the financial year 2006/2007. All these projects are in Bumula Constituency. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that it was my phone. I forgot to switch it off. I apologise and I have switched it off straightaway. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Kshs800,000 was spent in the Financial Year 1988/1989 on purchasing of pipes and fencing of a tank site for the proposed Masinga Water Supply Project. The pipes were laid for Ekalakala distribution line. However, this line has never been utilized because the other components of the Masinga Water Project were not constructed due to lack of funding. The project was estimated to cost Kshs122 million. (b) My Ministry is undertaking review of Masinga Water Project with a view to connecting it to the existing Masinga-Kitui Water Pipeline. ... view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, this project proved to be fairly expensive. However, if we can finish with the design and survey works, we can connect it to Masinga-Kitui Water Project. view
