• 16 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Budget Speech. It is interesting to hear hon. Members talk about devolution and yet, in the last Parliament, “devolution” was the most controversial word. It was a very contentious issue. That is why the Bomas Draft failed.

• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that four primary schools, that is, Bahari, Kashani, Bomu and Ziwani have boreholes. Among these schools, it is only Bomu that has a problem but the other schools have water because the boreholes were dug and pumps fixed. Now there is water. The problem with Bomu is that the water that we got in the boreholes is saline, so it cannot be used. They are still using their old facility. We cannot give them a new one because the water is salty. view

• 4 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we do the boreholes, we will provide hand pumps. If we bring you an electric pump, we will make sure that there is electricity. That is the cost that will be included in the construction of the borehole. If we buy a hand pump, there will be no need for electricity but if it is an electric pump, it is the Ministry that will bear the cost of providing electricity. view
