  • 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) whether he is aware that Kiptororo Secondary School has not been registered; and, June 26, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1443 (b) when he will effect its registration and post teachers to the school. view
  • 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I am in agreement, I would like to express a very serious concern. It is a simple matter which could be done quite easily. But he will be depending on the same officers to give him the information! Will he get the correct information? view
  • 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
  • 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand on a point of order to seek your guidance. The Order Paper which was forwarded to the Ministry indicated that Question No.071 was supposed to be the first one. This morning I found out that the Order Paper had been changed, such that the Question is now supposed to be asked in the afternoon. I am kindly seeking your intervention so that when you amend the Order Paper, could the Ministry be informed in advance so that we can also plan? This is because we do not want a situation whereby Questions are asked ... view
  • 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that the price of premium petrol in Nairobi and most other parts of the country is retailing at around Kshs100 per litre. However, I am not aware that the same is retailing at Kshs93 per litre in Mount Kenya region, as it was retailing at between Kshs99 and Kshs102 per litre last weekend. Some Ministry's staff went there and found out that it is not retailing at Kshs93 per litre, but between Kshs99 and Kshs102 per litre. (b) This discrepancy can be attributed to the following:- Dominant presence ... view
  • 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is worth noting that 60 per cent of the market shareholding of the petroleum products sub-sector is here in Nairobi. So, the prices are driven supply and demand. There is a lot of demand for petroleum products in Nairobi. In my explanation, I said that the cost of running business in Nairobi is not the same as that of running business in other parts of the country. It varies. In terms of advertisement, the Nairobi City Council's charges are different from those of, say, Kericho County Council. So, the prices vary. Also, worth noting ... view
  • 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is worth noting that the taxes being levied were approved by this House. If hon. Members want us to reverse that decision, we can do so by amending the law that was passed here in 1994. We, as a Ministry, have no objection. Excise Duty chargeable on premium petrol is Kshs19.895 per litre. The Road Maintenance Levy chargeable on premium petrol is Kshs9 per litre, which goes toward rehabilitation of our road network. Excise Duty forms part of Government revenue, which is used to fund other projects, including disbursement to the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). Petroleum ... view
  • 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Mr. K. Kilonzo's allegation that petroleum products are cheaper in Rwanda and Uganda than in Kenya, unless he tables evidence proving that allegation, I disagree with him. The taxes being levied on petroleum products for all those countries are fixed. Oil products are transported through the Kenya Pipeline to Eldoret and then all the way to Kigali through Uganda. If there are any price variations in Uganda and Rwanda, it could be because of variations in taxes levied locally in those countries, which I do not know. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of subsidy, I ... view
  • 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot provide that detail right now. Maybe, I can provide it tomorrow afternoon. However, as I said, 70 per cent of our oil products come into a pool at Mombasa. It is an Open Tender System where all the players in the industry come together. The Ministry of Energy is in charge of that exercise. So, the prices of all the petroleum products, irrespective of where you buy it, are fixed at Mombasa. The prices vary as the commodities are transported from Mombasa to the various inland destinations. I will provide the House with the costs ... view
  • 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said earlier that it is upon this House to do so. The Energy Act empowers the Minister to do so, but if we take that decision, the multinational oil companies, which control the market, will reduce the supply. We will have a high demand and the prices will increase. Therefore, we, as a Ministry, are approaching the issue with the rest of the country, so that we can take that decision together. However, if you want us to re-introduce regulation, that has to come through Parliament. The prices also keep on changing depending on the exchange ... view
