• 30 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue that Eng. Rege raised, concerning the Kshs450 million for the development of National Oil Corporation of Kenya (NOCK) Headquarters that it should be reduced and subsequently channeled to the Rural Electrification Authority, I want to say that, as a Ministry, we are paying rent. NOCK pays rent. The Geothermal Development Company (GDC) pays rent. Kentraco, the new company, pays rent. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) pays rent and ourselves, as a Ministry, pay rent. Therefore, we thought, as a Ministry that, if we can set aside some resources so that we can ... view
• 30 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Therefore, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to urge my colleagues, especially the Chair, to reconsider the amendment that he said he is going to bring, and drop it in the sense that, as a Ministry, I want to assure him that the money will be used properly. We are negotiating - although we got less funds in terms of the Rural Electrification Authority – Kshs3.8 million. Each constituency will get a minimum of about Kshs15 million, which is, maybe, less by Kshs2 million compared to what the allocation was in the last financial year. But I want to ... view

• 30 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. The Ministry of Information and Communications should really play a very vital role for us, as a country, to achieve Vision 2030. We talk of Vision 2030 but, when I see the funds and what the Ministry is doing, I do not think we are going to achieve that Vision 2030! When we talk about universal access to ICT, what is it? What do we need to do? The Ministry must be very proactive. The Ministry has been taken over by the private ... view
• 30 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: As much as we want to thank you for what you are doing at the moment, there is need for you to do a lot. I want to thank the Minister for the provision of one mobile computer laboratory for every constituency. However, I was wondering whether that is viable, for example, in Belgut Constituency which has 140 primary schools and almost 30 secondary schools. I want us to be realistic. Take the example of Mr. Ethuro’s constituency which is almost the size of Rift Valley Province. Maybe, the number of primary schools there could be less. However, I would ... view

• 29 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to respond to the Motion. I want to say from the outset that as a Ministry, we support this Motion. I say so, because, as I speak my Minister is at the Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA), meeting the 57 tea factories to discuss the way forward in establishing small hydro-power stations to assist them. Therefore, it is, indeed, desirous for the Ministry to promote renewable energy technologies. In this regard, we are considering prioritising the setting up of small hydro- electric power projects. For so many years, the ... view
