• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: (b) I cannot assure the House that these officers will be paid their allowances back-dated to July, 2010 pending the results of the consultations. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: (c) In view of “a” and “b” above, I am not in a position to state the number of teachers and civil servants that have been earmarked for allowances in 2010/2011 Financial Year. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, consultations are going on between the Treasury, the Public Service Commission (PSC) and the relevant unions with regard to teachers. Therefore, I am not in a position at this stage, like I said in my answer, to give an answer to this particular situation or a concrete date as to when that will be implemented. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concern of the hon. Member but I find it very difficult to give an exact timeline because these are discussions that are ongoing between the two Ministries and also involving some unions. As to exactly when the scheme will be implemented, I am unable to tell. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, I appreciate the question and, indeed, there should have been consultations concluded before actually announcements were made. I want to assure hon. Members that we are trying to speed up this situation because we realize that, indeed, there were these announcements and there is concern out there. We need to resolve this situation as quickly as possible. I want to assure hon. Members that I will see what I can do to ensure that these discussions and consultations are concluded in the shortest possible time so as to ease the suffering of teachers. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have the exact number with me because those records are actually kept by the Ministry of State for Public Service. So, I think that Question should not be directed at me. What we are looking at is the overall policy. My Ministry does not keep those records. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The stoppage of Mzima Springs Phase I has been occasioned by lack of sufficient funds to finance the project. However, the Government is pursuing consultations with the Chinese Government as one potential financier of the project. (b) The estimated cost of the rehabilitation of the Mzima Springs Phase I is such that one pipeline will cost Kshs1.3 billion. The estimated cost of Mzima Springs Phase II is Kshs40 billion. (c) There was no budgetary allocation for Mzima II Project in the 2009/2010 Financial Year. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, money is usually received as Appropriations-in- Aid (A-i-A) but for the project itself, the requirements are far in excess of what we are able to generate from the water that is sold. There is, therefore, need to ensure that we get additional financing. That is why I said that we are looking at some of our development partners to assist us in the completion of Phase I and the starting of Phase II. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not sure what the Minister of Water and Irrigation was referring to. So, I do not want to say there is a contradiction. But the fact and the figures that we have indicate that the rehabilitation for Phase I was going to cost Kshs1.3 billion. Maybe this has been reworked by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and I do not want to state facts I do not have. view
• 28 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I was very clear when I said that we are seeking funds. So, we cannot consider it an ODA project since we have not yet secured the funds. view
