• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I applaud the good work which has been done by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Of course, as a Committee, we did not propose any additional funding because of the fact that for the last two years, we did that and we never got any increment because they were asking for a reduction from our side. However, at least we appreciate the Budget and Appropriations Committee through what they have given us in the coming Financial Year 2019/2020, an increase of about 21 per cent, which amounts to ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: In fact, most of the industries now have run to our neighbouring countries. They are running away from Kenya and indicating that their production cost has gone high. They are particularly signifying the cost of power as one of the reasons why they are reallocating to the neighbouring countries. I think it is important for us now to start thinking on how much we put in generation and how much we allocate for distribution and transmission. It was very sad in the last financial year. Around 21 transmission projects which were up to 80 and 90 per cent complete were ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: It is one of the aspects that, as a Committee, we found wanting. This happened in almost three of those parastatals and it has been something that, as a Committee, we will be making recommendations within the law so that we can have directors being replaced as and when the vacancies arise. Secondly, as a Committee, we looked at the implementation of the Budget. The Controller of Budget is supposed to give us quarterly reports. Whenever we receive those reports and compare them vis-a-vis the report given by the Ministry and the semi-autonomous Government agencies to the National Treasury, they ... view

• 4 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Industry, Trade and Cooperatives the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why there is an inordinate delay in clearing imported solar powered products and other solar energy-based products at the port of Mombasa, which currently takes up to sixty (60) days thus attracting demurrage and related costs, frustrating traders and eroding the Government’s policy on green energy? view
• 4 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I congratulate Hon. Mawathe who is in our Committee for having been re-elected as the Member of Parliament for Embakasi South. Secondly, as Hon. Mbadi had said, the list of names cuts across. Mr. Mawathe, coming from a cosmopolitan constituency has done very well in terms of trying to balance who was picked. I do not know whether it is Mawathe who is supposed to do the appointment or the NG-CDF Board. These appointments were not done by Mawathe. As per the Act, they have been appointed by the board itself. Much as we praise ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we really need some tutorials. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents of Nakuru Town East Constituency, draw the attention of House to the following: THAT, an efficient and well-designed road infrastructure and network is a catalyst for economic growth facilitating rapid movement of goods, people and services and reducing traffic snarl-up; THAT, the Government through the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), commenced an elaborate programme of eliminating roundabouts and T- junctions on major highways across the country; THAT, among the targeted junctions was the Nakuru-Nyahururu T-junction, where KeNHA built an interchange that became operational in May 2018; THAT, instead of reducing traffic within the ... view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I am trying to operate this machine so that I can access the Question but I cannot. I have tried for the last three minutes. I do not know whether I can get a hard copy? view
