• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. We have requested for a copy through the normal Parliamentary procedures. So, when we will retreat, we will look at what they have recommended. I want to promise you that we have done very comprehensive inquiries and will bring to this House a Report which befits it. So, it can make its decision. Hon. Speaker, I beg to submit. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question 426 of 2021, directed to the Attorney-General: (i) What is the status of payment of compensation for the loss of life which was awarded by a Nakuru Law Court vide Case No.11540F2019 to the family of the late John Munyiri Waikwa of ID No.11474127, who passed on following a tragic road accident at Kikopey, Nakuru County, on 22nd March 2019 after a trailer rammed into a 2NK Sacco matatu, killing all passengers on board? (ii) When will the said compensation be paid to the dependants of the deceased? view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to give my input in this very important Motion. First of all, I want to thank you for the urgency with which you took the concerns of Kenyans when this matter was brought here by the two petitioners. You gave a timeline of two weeks, of course with an additional one week. We want to thank you most sincerely for that concern. I also want to thank the Chair and members of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the effort they made to address this issue. If you ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: in our tax regime. We hope that soon the Committee will bring a Bill to actualise what this Report recommends. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: In the international market, pricing varies because of various aspects. One of the issues is international oil prices. The prices do play a huge role. Again, we are disturbed to find out that the USA plays a big role in international oil prices yet Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is the institution that produces millions of barrels of oil. Secondly, there is transport and storage charges. This is where Kenya Pipeline Corporation comes in. In the last Supplementary Budget, our Committee did approve Ksh1.6 billion which had already been spent, of course over and above the Ksh7 billion ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want your assistance. I asked a Question in February this year directed to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure. One of the issues was about roads being done by KURRA in my constituency without public participation. That was the essence of the Question. To-date, the practice still continues. They are doing roads without engaging the public. I want the Committee to explain why the Question has not been answered since February this year? view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am sorry for coming late. You had looked for me earlier on and am sorry I was not here on time. My apologies for coming late. Hon. Speaker, it is true you directed that we do a public inquiry, which we did and are done with all the 19 Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and also the Solicitor-General. The only frustration we got and have resolved as per the Standing Orders is to summon the National Treasury because it also plays a part in these agreements. In fact, we were to meet with them The electronic version of ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: yesterday but, again, they wrote a third letter asking for the meeting to be rescheduled. So, in our Committee meeting tomorrow we have resolved to summon the National Treasury. Two weeks ago, we were to retreat and write a report but, again, the National Treasury failed to show up. But we are done with all the 19 IPPs and all other people involved, including the Ministry. The National Treasury is the only one that has not given evidence and so far, has refused to come. The first time they asked to be given two weeks. Then they asked for an ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I hear you and also what Hon. Ichung’wah has said. On matters audit, my Committee had requested for a special audit on Loiyangalani-Suswa Transmission Line. I am yet to get a report from PIC to understand the outcome of that. As we speak, we still owe some individuals claims amounting to almost Kshs5 billion. We have directed that no money should be paid to that contractor or line until a special audit has been done by the Auditor-General. It took almost seven months or one year for us to get a special audit. view
