• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The Committee, in line with Article 118 (1) (b) of the Constitution 2010 on public participation, invited views from the public as stakeholders through an advert in the two main dailies on 22nd February 2018. At the close of the date meant to receive written memoranda, the Committee had received a total of 22 written submissions, among them from the Council of Governors, Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), Kenya Oil and Gas Association (KOGA) and Turkana County Assembly. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Due to the emotive nature of the two Bills, especially the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill 2017, the Committee resolved to as much as it would be practical undertake exhaustive public participation over and above considering the written memoranda that the Committee had received from the public. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The Committee resolved to undertake public hearing in six counties, namely; Turkana, Marsabit, Lamu, Kitui, Nakuru and Narok. This decision was guided by the fact that these counties are hosting critical power and petroleum installation. Therefore, it is critical for the Committee to hear the views of the mwananchi residing in those areas. Consequently, the Committee has in the past one week undertaken successive public hearings in Turkana County that is in Turkana East Constituency, Turkana South Constituency and Turkana Central Constituency. In Nakuru County we visited Nakuru Town East Constituency and Naivasha Constituency. In Narok County we visited Narok ... view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: After the 27th because we will table our report on the 26th of this month on the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill and the Energy Bill. I have just explained that we have further public hearings in Lamu and Kilifi because of coal which is a very significant part. We will also go to Mwingi in Kitui so that we can hear what the public has to say. Of course, we will be through with the memorandum tomorrow in the evening but we still have this weekend to visit Lamu and Murang’a. In Murang’a, there are some tea farmers ... view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: We will table our report by Thursday, 29th March at the latest. Those were the dates. I cannot remember because we had agreed that by Thursday, 29th March, we will have tabled our report. Thereafter, because the HBC sits on Tuesday, they can schedule the two Bills for debate after 29th. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: First, I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party. What he said is true. We have done exactly what Hon. Chris Wamalwa has said. We have divided ourselves into four teams of four persons each. Unfortunately, Members of one of the teams have travelled to attend a conference on woman status in New York. So, the team was unable to do anything because it is only one Member who remained. That is why we did not do much. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Regarding the other issue he raised, I would like to inform him that the Chairman does not want to chair every meeting. We had agreed to split ourselves into four groups and each would have brought their views. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Remember last week the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Post-Election Seminar in Mombasa took one full week from us. We had intended to visit Lamu and Kilifi but we were unable to do that because of logistical problems in the Clerk’s Office. We were unable to visit those places immediately after the seminar in Mombasa. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Regarding mobilisation of Members of Parliament, we have exactly done that. It is only unfortunate that Members do not check their mail in the pigeon holes. We were in Turkana and we had all Members of Parliament from that region attending except one. We also went to Nakuru and we had a number of Members of Parliament of the area attending. Some did not attend because their constituencies are not involved. A good example is Kuresoi. So, most of them did not attend. view
