• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: heritage need to go to that place and try to conserve it. The oil explorers got gas instead of oil. Gas was of no commercial use in 1970. Most of it was flared and burnt out. Gas is the next frontier in this country. We have some people who are exploring it in Pate Island. There are a lot of prospects of gas. I know you have heard the contribution of other Members. We need to remove the capping of the shared revenue. From the mathematics that we were given, it means one country will be receiving almost a third ... view
• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: During public participation in Turkana, we came across some challenges. It is true that they are quite behind. We want them to understand that this country took care of Turkana for the last 50 years. Now that oil has been discovered there, it is also their turn to take care of the rest of the country, comprising of almost 60 million Kenyans. They will depend on the proceeds from the oil. view
• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: As we did that, we looked at the inclusion of a pipeline and some people asked how much oil we have. The same companies have accepted to venture into investing in the 800 kilometre pipeline, all the way from Turkana to Lamu. From the few meetings we had with Tullow Oil Company that is exploring for oil in Turkana, we are now at class ‘C’ of ‘A’ and ‘B’. We can produce a lot of oil to export. The good thing Kenyans should know is that our oil is of high quality because it has very low sulphur content. As ... view
• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Last, but not least, we realised that when we were doing public participation, most of the important installations are not secure. We ask the CS in charge of Interior and Coordination of National Government to assign some security personnel to the very critical installations. We also need to protect the Lamu coal project that will provide us with over 1,000 megawatts of power. view

• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this very important Bill. First, I want to take this opportunity to thank your office for the cooperation that it has given to the committee. As the Standing Orders stipulate, we were supposed to have brought back a Report to this House within 21 days, but you gladly gave us an okay for us to proceed after the committee requested for an extra 21 days. We really want to thank your office, the office of the Clerk and the office of the Leader of the Majority Party. The Leader of the Majority ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, I want to thank the secretariat for the good work that they have done especially writing a Report that is within the requirement of this House. However, I would like to request that in future we look at the Standing Orders and the requirements of laying a Report before the House on matters to do with legislation. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Two Bills were brought to my committee, that is, the Energy Bill and the Petroleum Bill. I want to thank the committee members most sincerely for the dedication that they have given to these very critical Bills. These were constitutional Bills as indicated by the Leader of the Majority Party. They went through a process and found their way back to Parliament after they lapsed in the last one. We would like to ask the Senate be patriotic once this Bill goes to them. Most of the Senators are on transit. They either want to be governors or are seeking ... view
