• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: 14.7 and 11.77 cents per kilowatt hours, respectively. Those independent power producers are making Kenyans pay for power. They are owned by people who mint billions. I will give you a scenario. According to the KPLC, in the electricity power generating agreements they signed with those companies in 2018, the KPLC spent Kshs64 billion to buy 10.79 billion kilowatts per hour from those companies and KenGen. KenGen produced about 60 per cent of that. Those other companies took away close to Kshs29 billion and it is in the document. One thing that Kenyans do not know and I want the ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, even if all these power producers do not generate or sell power to the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), they earn billions of shillings in the name of capacity charges which are transferred to the ordinary bills of Kenyans. This Government opened so many geothermal and solar projects. The biggest solar project in East and Central Africa is in my constituency. It pumps 55 megawatts to the national grid. We have geothermal power and Turkana Wind Power. Over the years, these independent power producers have generators. They do not sell power. However, they earn capacity charges. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want you to indulge me and this House. Ask this Committee to form an inquiry. We want to know the actual faces behind these 18 companies. Who are the owners and directors who steal from Kenyans through these exorbitant power prices? We ask you to order the Cabinet Secretary for Energy to table the contractual obligations of these companies before the Committee. Every contract must have a period. We want to know if Hon. Duale owns Gulf Energy or Tsavo Power Company. Some of these companies are listed. The Committee of this House cannot be told to ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) can provide enough power to KPLC. Why do we engage these companies? They were brought on board in 2001 during the drought when we had a shortage of power. We have enough power today. The KenGen can supply it. Why do we deny KenGen the opportunity to supply us power at Kshs4.6? We allow other people to supply it at Kshs69, Kshs26, Kshs17 or Kshs11? We are helping the Government. You need to direct this House to be furnished with the directors, shareholders and contracts of these companies and the price of power which ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I will not go to court. Under Article 117 of the Constitution, I enjoy privilege, powers and freedom of expression of thoughts to represent not only the people of Garissa Township Constituency, but also the great people of Kenya. This answer is unsatisfactory. Questions 4 and 5 were not answered deliberately because some people want to hide certain faces. Hon. Speaker, through your powers, help us to unmask these shareholders and directors of these companies. Let us have their contracts. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Be kind. view
• 10 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, mine is intended. Two-and-a- half months ago, I sought a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy on the matter of independent power producers and their role in electricity bills. I urge you to direct that on our sitting next Tuesday, the Committee should furnish the House with the information. I asked for a written statement, but the one I got had five fundamental questions. I am sure the Clerk has a copy of the Statement. Two of the questions, questions 4 and 5, the Committee asked that I should go to court and get ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. As I support this Petition, it is very important that not only within the East Africa, Kenyan lawyers, advocates and other professionals must find a way of going to other parts of the world. I remember when a group of Kenyans faced the International Criminal Court (ICC), it was the first time the Kenyan lawyers woke up, and today, I am sure many of them can represent clients who in one way or the other, will be accused of serious crimes as some Kenyans had to go through. We also need to look at the Council for ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: He has not verified, but he claims he represents 6.5 million Kenyans. We should not discuss the people out there. There are some people within this mountain. This mountain is becoming very complex. Some of us have hills. We also have the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL). There are some of us who live near the lake and some near the rift. However, of late, this mountain has a problem. Hon. Speaker, you becoming the spokesman of the mountain, you are qualified to become the Kenyans’ spokesman. view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: However, there are “characters” who have waited for four years and they did not want to become spokesman or spokeswoman, and all of a sudden, when the elders in their wisdom felt that you can occupy that office, they came from some of the hills around the mountain. view
