• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Why do you not give some of us a chance to contribute so that you can hear our opinion? Are we here just to sit and not to talk? view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: But they are the same ones who have contributed! view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say from the outset that today’s debate reminds me of the year 2005. We debated until midnight. It was such small things which made the whole Constitution to be thrown out. The right to life is something which is controversial. The Attorney-General has tried to remove part (4) of Article 26. However, I have a problem. If it says every person has a right to life, the other things which should have come should have been put under subsidiary legislation. If we try to justify what the Attorney-General is trying to do, we ... view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hate interfering my colleague here, but is it in order for him to say that people had been promised free land if the ODM had taken over power? Can he justify that? view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is coming out of the Assistant Minister’s statement is clear; that, the Ministry cancelled the results on basis of suspicion. Could he consider reinstating all the results that were cancelled? view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member for Khwisero wanted to know how many projects are being done every year. Before the last two financial years, the allocation of the Rural Electrification funds was not done the way we are doing it now. Currently, we are using the CDF formula. The hon. Member will realise that in this financial year, he will get over Kshs15 million and we are doing about five projects. In the last financial year, he also got the same amount of money, that is, Kshs15 million which did three projects. Right now, the Ministry of Energy allocates funds ... view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we have done in areas like North Eastern Province is that we have allocated them about Kshs600 million. In the last financial year, we did six projects in six constituencies. We provided them with generators which cost about Kshs100 million each. We will do the same thing this financial year. We have also embarked on interconnections. For example, by next month, Moyale Town will be connected from Ethiopia. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have completed a master plan for the whole country, whereby we have done a plan for all the public utilities. Currently, there are about 8,000 to 9,000 public facilities. Therefore, that will be done in the next allocation because some of the constituencies have already completed some of the public facilities. The money will go to those constituencies with many public facilities. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought I said with regard to the five projects for this Financial Year, 2009/2010, the first three have been awarded to contractors while the last two are under survey and design. I want to assure the hon. Member and the people of Khwisero that the five projects will be completed this year. We have had a problem with transformers. Vandalism has caused us a lot of problems. However, I want to assure this House that already, we have new transformers. The Rural Electrification Authority (REA) is waiting for transformers of 11KVA which it will receive by ... view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The correct position is that the KPLC made a profit before tax of Kshs2.863 billion from July to December, 2009. Over the same referenced period, the profit of the Company after tax was Kshs1.873 billion. Hon. Members may wish to note that there had been gross under investment in the transmission and distribution capacity in the country from as early as 1990s to June, 2003. This contributed to poor quality of electricity supply in the country. Despite substantial investments over the last six years made by the Company, with the support of the ... view
