• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, something impressive about this is declaration of ownership; it is, indeed, very good to note that the national Government is going to be the owner. We have seen in other jurisdictions, where minerals have been discovered, they led to civil wars. Regions which are gaining from this are like Kitui, Kwale and Turkana, which formerly were known to be marginalized. Other regions survived because of good climate; examples are Mount Kenya region, Trans Nzoia County and western region. view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: So, when ownership is by the National Government we are assured that when first people are become the last, at least the income that is going to be generated the host regions are going to get a share of this income and this is going to eliminate the conflicts in future. view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with the new Constitution, which talks of more devolution, I am happy to note what hon. Amina said in terms of the social licences. The element of corporate social responsibility is negligible. Last week I was in Mombasa, specifically at the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). We went to do some audit as the Public Investments Committee (PIC). If you look at the returns this organisation is getting they are so much, but when you ask about their social corporate responsibility the amount of money we were given is, indeed, insignificant or negligible. So, with issue of ... view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have had a lot of licences being given to brokers. Some people are given licences but they do not have the capacity and competence. Instead they go and look for others outside there to do brokerage. My Leader of Minority Party talked about COTEC. He told us that there is a possibility of getting Kshs100 billion, but when you ask how much they were paid when it came to licensing, the amount was, indeed, negligible. So, the proposal of the Kshs500 million, if I got hon. Amina right--- Indeed, that is a good amount of ... view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: However, my colleague mentioned that they are going to get licences for 25 years. I am a bit worried about the 25 years. I find that to be a very long period. We have seen many people who got licences and took very long to achieve their targets. If the period was shortened to 15 years, it would be reasonable enough. If, indeed, they have sufficient grounds to support the 25-year period, then we have no problem. We need to be given a progress report in terms of performance, maybe after every five years. If we see that somebody has ... view
