• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we can convince Hon. Emanikor who was not here last week when we were dealing with the Energy Bill. We can build consensus. That provision is provided for in the Energy Bill as has just been read by the Chairman. So, instead of putting it to the vote I can confirm that she can withdraw. That is how we want to work. I cannot oppose Hon. Emanikor’s amendment. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendment. It is proper for the Chair of the Departmental Committee to propose a more punitive penalty than the one that was proposed earlier on. It is important to do so. I support the amendment. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I believe in consensus. I want to ask my good friend, Hon. (Dr.) Musimba, to withdraw his amendment. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 37 of the Bill says that the Authority shall establish a national data centre, which shall be used for storage, analysis, interpretation and management of petroleum data and information from sedimentary basins and field operations. After we established the special economic zones, we harmonised the taxation regime in our country. For example, an investor in Singapore needs only to press a button to know our Value Added Tax (VAT) rate, Income Tax and Pay as You Earn (PAYE). This clause is saying that any investor who wants to invest in this sector will not go to the huge database, ... view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to support Hon. Joyce Emanikor’s amendments. Indeed, the absolute power being given to the CS through that sub-clause is not in line with the spirit and the intent of the current Constitution. There is no way we can give the CS a freehand to make those decisions alone. If not checked, those powers are bound to be abused. I very much agree with Hon. Joyce. I support the amendment and urge my colleagues to do the same. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Hon. Wamalwa is the Deputy Whip of the Minority Party. The Leader of the Minority Party is Hon. Nyenze, who is not in the Chamber. Hon. Musimba is a good friend of mine, but he is just leaving. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: That means he has accepted. What we are saying is on the discretion of the Cabinet Secretary. It is when there is insufficient data in relation to a particular block – where bids have not been received or the received bids do not satisfy certain minimum criteria for execution. Clause 45(4) says:- “Where the Cabinet Secretary intends to negotiate directly with a contractor in accordance with this section, the Cabinet Secretary shall publish a notice of thirty days in the Gazette and in, at least, two newspapers of national circulation.” There is enough transparency and accountability. Local people and active ... view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: It is by Hon. Emanikor! She is one of the top ladies from the pastoralist community that we have in this House. As the leader of pastoralists, I beg you to drop your amendment to this clause. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information for the good work they have done on this Bill. Much as oil is a blessing, it has proved in many situations in oil producing countries that it can be a curse through conflicts by the communities and the oil exploring companies which eventually spill over to the State and the local communities. It has even sent some countries to war. The recent conflicts in oil producing countries are a result of lack of proper ... view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: has already been discovered in Turkana and it is a matter of time before the many parts of northern Kenya can enjoy this. Knowing the delicate situation of those parts of the country and their historical neglect, it is easy for them to pick up conflicts when they see companies coming to exploit without their consent or laws in place which cater for their interests. This law is good. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
