• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Allow me to briefly inform the House on the status of Nairobi City at the time I was appointed to lead my current Ministry. I noticed that the rivers within the city had become depository of all effluent discharges and solid waste from the city dwellers and its enterprises. In addition, most estates especially those located in Eastlands, had several illegal dumpsites which were in most cases swept into the city’s rivers by storm waters. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my immediate reaction of the same was immediately to prepare a programme ... view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that some local authorities have failed to render services to the people in their respective towns. My Ministry has already written to seven local authorities in this country to do their work of collecting garbage. If they do not do it, my Ministry will have to flex its muscles and do the work on its own. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the Vote for the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. There are many problems in the country which the Ministry cannot address. This is not because the Ministry does not want to solve those problems but it is because it does not have enough resources. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Water projects should be expanded to match with population growth. I will give you an example. The water taps and systems in Mombasa used to serve a population of 250,000 people. Today, the population of Mombasa is over 1 million. Maybe, it is 1.2 or 1.3 million. This is the case and yet we have the same water taps and water systems. This is why water does not flow in those taps. Something should be done. view

• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the report which I have just laid on the Table, there are nine components and what the hon. Member is asking is covered in the report. I would ask him to go through that report because it is covered. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is very right. Everybody knows that with the introduction of Kazi kwa Vijana, we will support that move. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my report is very clear and I know that the hon. Member went through it. I have said very clearly that what we are doing is for all the areas bordering the lake and not specifically for Emuhaya but by doing this, Emuhaya is covered. So, it includes so many constituencies, districts and so on. With regard to the issue of money, it is also mentioned in my report. This report is very comprehensive and view
