• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First of all, I wish to register my apologies for not having been here last week, and neither was my Vice-Chair. I sincerely apologise for our absence. As it is, it is true that Hon. Aden Duale did, on 10th June 2021, rise on a point of order to request a statement. I have a Statement which I wish to read. We have had three meetings, one of which was postponed because the Ministry was unable to attend and the other two. During the last one where Hon. Aden Duale had another engagement with the Departmental ... view

• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The second question was this: At what rate KPLC procures electric power from independent power producers?

• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The fifth question was on how much money has been paid to each of the IPPs by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) and the Ministry of Energy since the commencement of their respective contracts with the Government of Kenya and the KPLC.

Duale, it is not appropriate to have this kind of answer almost three months down the line. As a Committee, we will request your ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for your direction. I will engage the secretariat of the Committee immediately. We will immediately start an inquiry into this issue. As a Committee, we are so much concerned about the cost of electric power. Hon. Duale, through the intervention of the President after appointing the taskforce, thought it might unearth the problem. He gave them months to come up with a report. However, that does not stop us from continuing with what we have to do. view
