• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has confirmed that 90 per cent of the water of Lake Turkana comes from River Omo. This country is unable to tap fully into the rivers that drain into Lake Victoria because of a colonial agreement that was overseen by the British. The Assistant Minister is talking of a bilateral agreement between Kenya and Ethiopia, which can flop at any time. Could he consider, through the IGAD process or the African Union, to sanction Ethiopia that River Omo is not over-utilised so as not to dry up Lake Turkana? view

• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to bring to your attention the fact that I have not been supplied with the full answer. In fact, I have an answer which is incomplete; there is a list which I requested, and I think it is presumably being tabled by the Assistant Minister today. I request that the Minister tables the list then I will have a look at it and the Question can be deferred to tomorrow or the following day for me to ably interrogate it. view

• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads:- (a) whether he is aware that the road from Madogo Junction to Hola (D8) is dilapidated and immotorable; (b) whether he could confirm that it is the Ministry’s policy to give priority to maintenance of existing roads and state when the section of the road last underwent maintenance; and (c) whether he could consider increasing the maintenance allocation for the road in the 2010/2011 Financial Year. view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister remembers that his predecessor visited this Road in August, 2008, in the company of three other Ministers, among them the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports. Even then this road was in very poor condition and in dire need of repair. They have not done an inch of work since they promised that they would repair this road. Even now that they seem to have increased the allocation from Kshs28 million to Kshs95 million, this still turns into peanuts, when you see the condition of this road. Could he consider increasing the allocation from ... view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the written answer, the Minister has categorized that road into two sections. That is because it traverses two constituencies. There is a section between Bura and Madogo and a section between Bura and Hola. A sum of Kshs80 million out of the Kshs95 million allocation has been allocated to 40 kilometres. That is a small section of the 131 kilometre section.

• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has stated that he is going to maintain the 40 kilometre stretch between Bura and Hola with some Kshs80 million. The condition of that road is such that even the tarmac is almost completely eroded. Could he tell this House whether the maintenance or the repair they want to carry out on that road is going to be to bitumen standard or they just want to go and lay gravel on the road? That is the 40 kilometre stretch! view
