• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Motion concerns the Ministry of Agriculture and perhaps, it would be useful to benefit from experience of the Minister if he can speak either last or near last, so that he is able to also benefit from our input and give us some appropriate enlightenment so that we can vote accordingly. view

• 27 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to the Minister, the hon. Member is chairing a very important oversight Committee of this House. Perhaps, if there was, indeed, evidence that the hon. Member is corrupt and has been charged, he should be given an opportunity to bring it next week or at an appropriate time. The Public Investments Committee (PIC) is one of the most important oversight Committees in this House. If somebody is going to chair that Committee and there are these allegations hanging over his head, the integrity of this House is ... view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not received the written answer, but I will go ahead and ask the Question. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether he is aware that Nyakach Water Project was planned to have a total of five water pumps with a capacity to pump 80 cubic metres per hour at the intake; (b) whether he is further aware that only one pump has been working and at this time of serious drought keeps breaking down further causing a strain to the community; and, (c) what he is doing to install the necessary water pumps to the Nyakach Water Supply Project and eliminate the frequent breakdowns to ensure supply of water is not disrupted. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a tragedy in this country that the two nearest places to water in Kisumu and Mombasa are the places where water is the biggest problem. Nyakach, which is next to Lake Victoria, is one of the places that suffers most from lack of water. When will the Minister ensure that the Nyakach Water Project capital cost replacement is done? He has promised, but can he give us a time-frame when all these old dilapidated pumps will be replaced? view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is my fifth Question in this Session where an opportunity has always been given to me to ask the first and last question. I do beg that the Chair grants equal opportunity to Members, in keeping with equal salary that is paid to all Members in this House. view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair has not given me opportunity to ask the first supplementary question but calls me to ask the last question. However, all other hon. Members have been given opportunity to ask supplementary questions on matters related to this one. I have, July 26, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2345 for example, Members who come from neighbouring constituencies who have issues on this Nyakach Water Project have been given the opportunity. But, be that as it may be, let me --- view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not argue with the Chair. However, Nyanza has both highlands and lowlands. Nyakach is one of the areas where we have water coming from the Rift Valley highlands to lowlands in Nyanza. When will the Minister ensure that Nyakach Water Project is fully gravity-led so that these breakdowns we have with these water machines can be totally avoided? By simply moving the intake power point a kilometre up the hill, we can overcome this particular problem. view
