• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I request Hon. (Dr) Pukose to second. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. The Chairperson has exhaustively covered most of the issues that are in the Report. I beseech Members to support this Motion and the Report prepared by the Public Investments Committee (PIC). One of our core responsibilities in PIC is to ensure we safeguard public investments and ensure that the Kenyan taxpayer gets value for taxes that are invested in all public institutions. In view of PIC mandate, we considered all the issues that have been raised by people regarding this project on the enhancement of Line I. As Members, ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: There will be tremendous benefits to our economy not just in this country, but also to our neighbouring countries; Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda who are all our good neighbours and who largely depend on the movement of petroleum products, especially the refined ones. The enhancement of the capacity of this Line will also ensure that the transportation cost of petroleum products to our own country’s hinterlined and our neighbouring countries will come down. There is usually a difference of about Kshs4 to Kshs7 between the price of unleaded petroleum at the port of Mombasa and, maybe Eldoret, Kisumu and Malaba. ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Chairman has said that this country will benefit from transportation using the pipeline as opposed to using trucks that have actually taken over all our national highways right from Mombasa to Nairobi through Uhuru Highway and my constituency, Kikuyu. We are experiencing these challenges with the opening up of the Southern Bypass in my own constituency in Kikuyu Town. It is actually a safety concern to my constituents that trucks carrying fuel are moving at very high speed along this new highway. They are negotiating dangerously to join the Southern Bypass at a place called Gitaru. I must call upon ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Serem for reminding me that name. It was the Sachangwan fire tragedy. The enhancement of this pipeline will ensure that such tragedies never occur in the future of this country. Therefore, I want to beseech Members to support this Motion and Report. As it has been pointed out, it has become almost an everyday habit that whenever there is such a huge project all manner of petitions are brought to Parliament or the PPRB. Some of them are on very flimsy grounds. In a big way, we are stifling the growth of this economy with so many ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, I am aware that part of the management of Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) has been asked to step aside on issues regarding procurement of this project One of the key recommendations that we have made on this project is: Considering it is a Kshs44 billion project, the company which has been awarded this tender ought to expedite the construction and enhancement of this pipeline with no variation. This is because the issue of variation of contracts – some are justified while others are not - has been an avenue for corruption in this country. We want to beseech the ... view

• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Report. I do not want to say much. I want to point out some few recommendations that we made, especially on matters of legislation that we have to bring to this House particularly on the Public Audit Bill. We need to bring amendments that relate to the audit of state-owned corporations where Government owns less than 50 per cent stake. The Auditor-General is not able to audit quite a number of corporations where the Government owns less than 50 per cent stake. We have cases still pending before this House – ... view
