• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to seek your indulgence to know whether it is in order for the Leader of the Majority Party to proceed with that answer when the matter is in court. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise on a point of order. We have been aware that the Bill is coming. We know that the Bill will become law. It is more committing than passing this Motion. We have been informed that the compensation aspect has been captured better in the Bill than in this Motion. I want to urge hon. Members that we preserve our comments until that time. The Standing Orders are very clear that we are out of order to anticipate debate on that forthcoming Bill. However, if that is not possible, I would propose ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the Motion that the Government liberalizes power distribution and thereby breaks the monopoly of Kenya view

• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Okay. Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion that, indeed, the monopoly should be discouraged at all costs and I want to cite the following reasons:- One, in the spirit of devolution, most services are being devolved to the county governments for the efficient provision of essential services that are required. So, that monopoly would mean that everything is controlled from one centre. That then beats the spirit of devolution and it also creates inefficiency due to the bottlenecks that will be there and even delays. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: In particular, I want to add that we have also witnessed in regard to the fires, tragedies and compensation, several properties being destroyed due to electrical faults. We have had valuable information destroyed. We recently heard about the Kenya Bureau of Statistics (KBS) information that was destroyed and because it was 4.00 a.m., we cannot blame any human being to have been there. However, I really want to say that KP personnel should improve on the way they do wirings or the way they supervise the contracted services that they, sometimes, contract. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: So, I strongly support because not only Government properties have been destroyed, but even individual properties have been destroyed due to shoddy connections and negligence by KP personnel. I think they should be really compensated. However, it is also good for the Government to urge families to insure their properties so that, at least, if such a thing happens, then they should be compensated although, of course, you will never recover what you had before. But it will help you take off from where you were. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, now on the cost reduction, I want to say that, indeed, power is very expensive. When you get your bill, you can realise that the units you have used, for example, can be costing Kshs1,500. Then there is a list of adjustments like fuel cost and so on, which are even more than the Kshs1,500. So, you wonder. I think there must be a way of reducing that cost and one of the ways is creating that competition. They will be able to compete through liberalisation. That will bring down the cost of electricity. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Another thing is to exploit our sources of production of power. We have enormous potential of wind power especially in the northern parts of our country. We have potential solar power. We know we are privileged because in Kenya, we experience tropical climate. We do not have winters and all that and it is possible--- view
