Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Ministry for the work it has done on this particular project. Work has progressed very well because of the electricity which was installed. I would like to ask the Assistant Minister whether he has any plans to instal electricity in one of the rural water supply centres in Karachuonyo.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Assistant Minister to consider allocating funds to instal electricity because most of the rural water supplies do not work if they are depending on diesel. I would also like to know who is determining the tariffs which people are paying for that water. Is the price affordable?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, two weeks ago, I had asked about the fate of industrial estates in Kisumu. This time round, I have asked what is happening about the industrial estates in Homa Bay. The Government does not seem to have a clear policy on industrialisation in the Nyanza region or in the country generally. The Assistant Minister says that they are preparing to repossess the land which had been taken away from those who had been allocated. How are the entrepreneurs going to raise capital when in the first place they do not have the land? Could he tell ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can see that this Government is, really, not concerned about providing employment. They promised to create 500,000 annually. We are in the 4th year since it came to power but Kenyans are still waiting for the promised jobs to be created. Reviving the Kenya Industrial Estates would have been the best way to create jobs to jobless Kenyans. Could the Assistant Minister tell the House how much money has been allocated to the Kenya Industrial Estates, specifically in Homa Bay District?

asked the Minister for Health:- (a) if she is aware that Wagwe Health Centre building was condemned in early 2004; (b) if she is further aware that the building could collapse any time from now, especially at the onset of the impending long rains; and, (c) what remedial measures she is undertaking to renovate the building.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the reply he has given on this Question. However, the renovation was estimated to cost Kshs3 million. The Ministry has only contributed Kshs240,000. Could he inform this House whether they will make available the balance so that the building is completed?

7 Jun 2006 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Arising from the response of the Assistant Minister, the building is condemned and should be pulled down. How much is the Ministry willing to contribute towards the construction of a new building? The building being used currently is very small and cannot give good services as required.
