• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the hon. Member is misleading the House. I have come with the Statement to this House on two separate occasions, but he has not been in the House. This is the only time I am seeing him in this House.

• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Report with reservations. My own district has one borehole and we are next to West Pokot which is partly semi- arid. Kwanza is partly semi-arid. I think the issue of equitable distribution of national resources is a challenge to all of us in the Government. The story of water is the same story as that of roads. Every Kenyan wants roads in their area. We all want water. I think we should try to find out the cheapest way of providing water. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view

All of us within these Ministries have a problem because we are trying to supply services to Kenyans, but finance is a challenge. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to talk about climate change. Mrs. Shebesh, others and I were in Copenhagen three years ago. The issue of climate change is not realized by many people. People do not know that if we do not create mitigation and adaptation, we will lose our ground water. view
