• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I congratulate the Committee on Delegated Legislation for standing firm. That is what to do. Candidates need to choose agents up to a certain time, and the agents should not necessarily be removed from a polling station unless they commit a crime, and the police are involved. It is very important that the forms that agents sign have two columns to indicate whether they agree with the results or not. We are in a digital world. If an agent has a smartphone, let him or her take a picture of the form. ... view

• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Twenty Fourth Report of the Public Investment Committee on its consideration of the Auditor-General’s Reports on Financial Statements of State Corporations, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday May 31, 2022. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am going to be as brief as I can, hoping that Members of this House will be in agreement to the issues that we have put in here and the punitive clauses that should serve as a deterrent to others who want to do anything that ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, KenGen is a State-owned company that deals with the production of power. It incurred a cost of Kshs79.3 billion on the drilling of geothermal power wells. These were loans that were financed by the Export-Import Bank of China and Exim Bank of China. They were drilled between 2011 and 2015. Despite these wells being ready for use, by the time they were being audited, they had not been connected to the main power supply. What is most wanting is that we have a capacity that can reduce the cost of power in this country. We wonder ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I would like to go the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), which signed a very huge and ambitious plan. The whole idea was to have a new building or terminal with a capacity of 8.7 million passengers per year, and a floor with 178,000 square metres. Once completed, it was meant to have 50 international and 10 domestic check-in positions; 32 contact and 8 remote gates which had 45 stands and linking taxiways. This is something that is very noble in nature. However, the contract sum was USD64,745,354.25. The cost of contract supervision was USD8.83 million. There are clauses in this ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Aero-Technology International Engineering Corporation were given possession of the site through a letter dated 6th December, 2013, before a project financier had even been identified. There was also the element of Value Added Tax (VAT). One of the issues was very clear. The tender document said that the cost was meant to be inclusive of all taxes, including VAT. The letter of notification dated 16th December 2011 was clear that the contract sum of USD 653,782,814 was inclusive of all taxes. However, on the 13th of November, 2013, the management entered into a contract and an extra 16 per cent ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I would like to take this further to another state corporation, the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). However, before the that, I would like to go to the National Housing Corporation (NHC). The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: There is a contract that had been given to a company called Dickways, at a price of Ksh189,698,208. The project was meant to commence on 14th August, 2012, for a period of 52 weeks. This is where I congratulate the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), which stopped this project because there was no environmental impact assessment that had been done on it. By the time this contract was suspended, the contractor had already been paid Kshs38 million. On behalf of the people of Changamwe, as I read this and speak on behalf of every other person, let it be known ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: minimum tonnage in the year 2020. This was by the time this audit was done. Our recommendation is that the National Treasury should renegotiate the entire payment arrangement with a view to discharging the KPA from the contract. Let it be a matter for the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC). The burdens of one should not fall on another. We are also recommending that the EACC should investigate the signing of the payment agreement. There is nowhere throughout our investigations where we saw any approval from the mother Ministry, the Attorney-General or the Board. There are two signatures; that of the ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: of what I am going to do. During those five years, I am sure that we have been able to do quite a lot. Congratulations to every one of you. I wish to ask my sister, Hon. Mishi, to second, and maybe allow a few Members to comment. view
