• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I rise to support this Motion, which has been moved by our Chairman. I am a Member of this Committee. I have actually looked at this Report at length and I support it with the following observations: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: One, as we support the construction of Line 1, I feel that we should look into the issue of storage. This country utilizes fuel and so whenever there is shortage, prices move up instantly. It is because we have no reserves that can cushion the markets whenever there are shortages in the world market. As we support this Report, we are also recommending that KPC should actually observe specifications in terms of design and the engineering. We do not need a substandard line to be constructed for us. We expect a line that will last for more than 25 years. ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The other issue is the transportation of fuel across the country. There are so many accidents along the Nairobi-Eldoret Highway. This issue of transportation of fuel using our roads is reducing the life span of our roads. This is because the very heavy tankers tend to overload. Therefore, the best thing to do is actually to have the pipeline extended to all our major cities. What we have at the moment only serves between Mombasa, Nairobi and Kisumu. We also have some other major cities in this country that actually require this pipeline. As we recommend this project, we expect ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The Vice-Chairperson also has mentioned the issue of litigation in this country. Although we are not preventing Kenyans from going to court, this country is actually spending a lot of money because of errors that actually come up. Individuals know that when an aspect is left out it will result in a court case. So, guys that actually come up with the specifications should be held responsible in any event that some aspects are left out to give room for somebody to rush to court, so that they can make more money. Litigation comes because of poor management. They omit ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me thank the Chairman for the wonderful presentation on how Telkom Kenya was siphoned by these crooks in this country. If anyone could go through the whole process on how Telkom was privatised, you will realise that it was designed in a way that would benefit a few who were interested in that institution. One, there was no valuation for properties found in the entire country in prime areas. You cannot imagine how much it is worth but these guys The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: were not interested in the business of telecommunication. They were interested in properties in this country. To prove the fact that these guys were interested in the properties, they have not injected anything to move their business. They are busy moving the ownership from one individual to the other in a way that you cannot tell who the owners are. These same crooks who were after this company have perfected their way of looting in this country in a way that if you look at it, you wonder who earns the dividends. You can say you are hiding but who ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Before I withdraw, I said these guys are hiding. When I say they are hiding, if they were in this House and I was able to name them, then I would not be using the word “hiding.” Two, I never said that there are individuals here. I said I am suspecting that some are even here. It is possible they could be here because most of the guys who loot this country use their loot to come and protect their loot and the best place to protect the loot is in this House. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: If hon. Ng’eno is not happy, I withdraw. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I proceed. I know some are not comfortable with my statement but let me not proceed. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I agree hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker that I have not named anybody. I said some could be hiding. That was my statement and I do not have to withdraw because it is also possible that---Not only in this Parliament, we could have Members of County Assemblies (MCAs), the Cabinet or the Executive. It is possible that we have these characters who have looted this country. If we can look back and see the history and how institutions in this country have been looted, there is no difference between what happened with Telkom Kenya. There is no difference between other institutions ... view
