• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is usually raised one hour before time. It is too late! view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to oppose this amendment on the grounds that much as I appreciate the need for allocating more money for the police and these other reforms, taking it from another department does not necessarily solve the problem. We could still do the same by extending the Budget but not necessarily taking it from another Vote. When you take it from another one you are basically saying one thing is more important than the other. view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have not even begun my contribution. I am entitled to my contribution. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to make the following Statement on the power outage at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as was requested by Eng. Gumbo. On Sunday 17th July, 2011, at 3.27 a.m. a power outage occurred at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport which was caused by an earth fault on one of the high voltage underground cables which is part of the JKIA Internal Power Distribution System. The outage was as a result of tripping at the KPLC sub-station that feeds the airport as a consequence of the underground fault. The same fault inhibited loading of the standby generators and ... view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: We also have rehabilitation of aircraft pavements at the Moi International Airport, which is expected to commence in February, 2012 and we are working on the modalities of this. At the Malindi Domestic Airport, the construction of a new terminal building is ongoing and is expected to be completed by September this year. There are several other projects that are ongoing across the entire country. We are doing far much more which is probably not being visible. All these projects are geared towards greatly improving the services offered by the Authority and ensuring passenger comfort and safety for people transiting ... view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, specifically on the last item that was requested, I wish to further clarify that on 19th July, 2011, at 6.35 p.m., a cargo flight registration No.APB4 Boeing747 from Islamabad was reported by the control tower to have developed an emergency while airborne. The pilot reported that the aircraft was running low on fuel and requested for permission to land on Runaway 24 rather than Runaway 06 to save on fuel. Full emergency procedures were observed by opening new crew gate and flight gates. The flight landed safely at 6.53 p.m. out of which the control tower called ... view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: I wish to table this Statement plus the log showing the 11 occurrences in the last one year, which like I have explained, have all been sorted out and we did not end up with a blackout expected on these two occasions. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to begin with the last one. Hon. Shakeel may remember that this House passed an amendment to the law which created the Airport Service Charge Fund, to which all the airport service charge is credited. This is maintained in accordance with the same law that this House passed. The Fund is part of the national accounts. Going to the other specific requests, again in no particular order, the issue raised by the Member for Uriri, on whether the main generator should not have kicked on, the airport has four generators. Indeed, during the incident on ... view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had already confirmed to the hon. Member that I would be following up all those in addition to all other leads that we are looking at to ensure that the airport is safe. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I regret to inform the House that the Minister for Finance is not available this afternoon to proceed with this important deliberation in the Committee. Also, because of the amendments that are coming, there are still consultations in terms of the position that needs to be taken so that, by the time we come to the Committee of the whole House, it can speed up the work. The Minister is consulting on that and so, in the circumstances, I would like to ask the indulgence of the House that this business be deferred until we meet again ... view
