• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the Committee’s position because I feel that once the Bill has been drafted and all the clauses have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I concur with the Committee. The county governments want to get into what the national Government should be doing. After the exercise, or when the mining is going on, it is envisaged that that particular county will be getting its levies from the mining operations. At the end of the exercise, I do not support them to get the equipment, because there will be a body in the national Government which should handling all the mining operations in the country; it should be centralised. I support the Committee. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I believe it is one of the Bills which we are trying to enact so that we can actualise our Constitution. It is also one of the Bills which will take this country in the right direction as far as industrialisation is concerned. The Bill is quite voluminous. I support Hon. Gumbo that as we debate this Bill, we have to be critical of the same and look in detail at every clause, so that we do not regret or come up with amendments ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: First and foremost, I support the Bill because it is giving us the framework of how we should handle the petroleum industry which is already a new product in our country since Independence or time immemorial. We have started discovering oil and in the process, we have to put in place a framework for how we are going to handle it. We should be careful not to go the direction of other petroleum producing countries, where after discovering oil, instead of that oil The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: benefiting the citizens of those countries, it has brought anarchy, acrimony and even war or mismanagement by cartels who become goons that sell the oil at the expense of citizens. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: This framework will repeal the old law and I appreciate it because it is a bit shallow. We did not have oil by then. We have also not invested as much as we have done this time in exploration of oil. With this framework, once we start producing oil and in the process of trying to refine it, the laws which we have put in place here should guide us towards the right direction. We have already started the exploration of oil and thank God we are getting good results, especially in the northern part of our country. All precautions ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: We have many mining programs going on in Kenya like the Bamburi and Athi River projects, where there is a lot of pollution. There is also a lot of excavation being done and at the end of the exercise the areas are left open and become environmentally dangerous. We have pools of water and dams where people drown. This Bill has provided that a contractor, or an investor, in the exploration of oil has to restore the same land to the best state possible environmentally, so that it does not affect people, flora or fauna of that particular area. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Clause 16 talks of the contractor’s powers and what he needs to do. There are some clauses which I feel should be amended when we get to the Committee of the whole House, so that they are balanced, conform to the Constitution and do not hurt any part of the environment. view
