• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: If you look at all our reports, you will see the turn out and the number of Members who participated. I am also proud to say that, so far, we have generated the highest number of reports. We want to appear in our own Guinness Book Record of the 11thParliament so that by the time our term comes to an end, we will not have generated the highest number of reports but we will also have generated quality reports that would add value in safeguarding the taxpayers’ money. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say one final thing which was alluded to by a Member here. I am also happy to see my good sister, Hon. Naomi, who is a senior Member of the HBC. In the past, when we had a hybrid governance system, to be a Member of the HBC used to be a privilege; once you were appointed, the only assumption was that you were waiting for a flag. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: One time, two Members were appointed; Hon. Khalwale and myself. Luckily, we were not appointed Ministers. So, we remained as the two underdogs in the HBC but we changed events. That is why I am saying I want to talk to her. Please, such critical reports shall create jobs. If this Report was debated last year, maybe a lot of things would have changed. Right now I am told that the same falsified documents were presented to the Cabinet. The Cabinet might be seized of this information, but it might still be misled by the same cartels. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I read something in the newspapers that the Cabinet has approved payment of US$5 million. It was in the newspapers but I am not sure. If that happens, that will be scandalous, unacceptable and a form of corruption. This is why this information is crucial. Hon. Naomi Shaban is here and she is a senior Member of this House. Luckily, she has been on both sides of the House. She has been a Minister and also an ordinary Back-bencher. She is now part of the leadership of the House. When such critical reports are tabled, please let them be fast-tracked ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I beg to reply and ask all of you to support this Report. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT, this House adopts the Special Report of the Public Investments Committee on the Procurement Process of the Kenya Pipeline Company Ltd Line 1 Capacity Enhancement Project (Mombasa – Nairobi Pipeline), laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 10th February, 2015. The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) is a State corporation established on 6th September, 1973 under the Companies Act, Cap. 486 of the Laws of Kenya. The main objective of setting up this company was to provide an efficient, reliable, safe and cost effective means of transporting petroleum products from the ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: storage and loading facilities for transportation, storage and distribution of petroleum products to facilitate the realisation of this particular objective. The company’s mandates are:- (i) to build a pipeline for the conveyance of petroleum or petroleum products from Nairobi to Mombasa. Right now, the mandate has been expanded to other parts of East Africa. (ii) to own, manage or operate such pipelines and any other pipelines and associated auxiliary facilities. (iii) to market, process, treat and deal in petroleum products and other products and goods, and also to provide transport, distributive facilities, outlets and services to connected areas. This particular ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Republic of Kenya. This is why in areas like Turkana, Wajir, Marsabit, Samburu, Lamu and other coastal areas of the Republic of Kenya there are so many land speculators, not because of any other reason, but people have realized that very soon the economic fortunes in these regions are going to change; once that change comes I can see a lot of movement. I can see my young brother, hon. Kimani Ichung’wah is trying to reflect on how he is going to be one of the groups that will be actually gearing to move to those parts of Kenya. I ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: every aspect of the particular process must be transparent, open, fair and must be consistent with the objective of the particular entity, taking into account the generous provisions in the Constitution that was promulgated 2010. The Constitution has clearly created a paradigm shift in the way we run State affairs. Therefore, openness, transparency and accountability must remain core objectives of any public entity. That is the only way we can continue to get the confidence of the taxpayers and continue to enjoy their continued funding. The replacement of the old pipeline that was commissioned in 1978 with this new pipeline ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: and ensure that whatever you do is consistent with the promotion and protection of that sovereign republic; this is what hon. Members must always strive to achieve. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other objective of this was to reduce the price of fuel for both domestic use and export market; quite often there are losses occasioned by leakages in burst old pipelines. We have seen this and we have had so many incidents where Kenyans who have been scrambling to get a litre of oil spilled by burst pipes, especially in the Rift Valley and Western Province, have suffered serious injuries. ... view
