• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We have a bigger problem in my constituency. When there is drought, people in my area get water from Nolturesh area, which gets water from Mount Kilimanjaro. As that water is tapped to my constituency, certain communities along the way tend to destroy the piping system to access the commodity. So, the water does not reach its intended destination. This is a big problem for us in Kaiti. We are not able to get water from Nolturesh, which is the only source of water in that area. So, I urge the Government to continue with its efforts of constructing water ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to say that there was a project which was funded by the Water Trust. That project was to supply water within the upper area of my constituency called “Kilungu”. However, the water project was mismanaged and the pipes which were laid were vandalized. The money for that project went to waste because it was not used for the right purpose. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I urge the Government to investigate that water project so that we do not continue losing money meant for very valuable water projects. Very few individuals misappropriated the money and the project was never completed. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The other issue is on the briefcase contractors who masquerade as contractors. When they are awarded tenders to do dams, they do shoddy jobs and the dams they built get damaged. This is very painful because people support a project when it is started. However, water is never harvested at the end of the day because the works done on the dams are shoddy. So, I urge the Government to be very keen on briefcase contractors who are awarded those projects but do not do a good job. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Water is a very important commodity. In my constituency, livestock farmers do not have water for their animals to drink. They resort to using banana stems which store water. So, they feed the animals using the banana stems as a substitute to water. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I congratulate the Mover who brought this Motion because it is very timely. I support this Motion and we would like dams or dykes to be built across the country. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Finally, I also urge the Government to supply water tanks to institutions like schools or churches so that they can access water during the dry spell. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I fully support this Motion. Thank you. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice on to this very noble Motion by my very good friend, hon. Charles Nyamai. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I rise to support this Motion and say that it is very timely. Truly, it is very difficult to get some documents due to the tedious and complex processes involved. It is outright denial of one’s right if he or she is unable to obtain a document timely. You even wonder why a very important document like a birth certificate can take such a long time to process, whereas such a document can be processed within a very short time. view
