• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: As a Kenyan, I agree with the Chair of PIC that the company that lay the current pipeline project 25 years ago did a very good job. The pipeline has lasted almost 12 years more than its expected lifespan. The company is experienced. Of course, there have been regular cases of the pipeline bursting, but I believe that the company did a good job. A lifespan of 12 years over and above the expected lifespan of the project is good enough for us to give credit to that company. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Secondly, the fact that the company belongs to a country makes it an international company. It can be in Uganda or anywhere else. You actually assess that company from its capacity to do the job and not necessarily basing the assessment on the country of origin. The company has done a good job. The only thing I want to pick from the recommendations of the Committee is that it should be mandatory for all the State Corporations to have a representative of the Attorney-General so that they can avoid those big problems we are having now. As far as I ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: the part of the Kenya Pipeline Company, then it is punishable. We have got the supervising unit in the Office of the President. It should ensure that all the parastatals have a representative from the A-G’s Chamber. That notwithstanding, the construction of the second line should speed up. This is because we have been having a lot of shortages of fuel in this country. For some of us who travel all the way from the other corner of the country, sometimes we drive into a petrol station only to find that there is no fuel. Normally it is because of ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The transportation of fuel by road is very dangerous. Our newly constructed roads are depleted within four years. If we had in place an efficient pipeline then our roads would not wear out so fast. There are so many tankers on the road and those inconveniences other motorists. It takes one more than an hour trailing behind the tankers on our highways. This is dangerous. The Kenya Pipeline Company should award this company the tender so that it starts working on the second pipeline to replace the old one. With that, at least, we can have in place an efficient ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The other thing that the Committee mentioned, and which I agree with, is that Kshs44 billion is a lot of money. A company with this kind of reputation, notwithstanding the fact that they have been having problems with their financial balance sheets, should not have any variation at the end of the day. Corruption may come in. Such a company could be handed the bids, but at the end of the day they run into problems again. The project then stalls. I just hope there will be no variation in terms of the pricing they gave. I know that Kshs44 ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am a very disappointed person. You know I am a very dedicated attendant of this House. I am always here. For four people not to be present, as raised by Hon. Sakaja, it cannot go unnoticed. Secondly, the leadership of the House is also in doubt because there is none in both my side and the majority side. We have to take the business of the House seriously. I had prepared to take part in two or three of these businesses and yet there is nobody to move them. We should raise this as a concern, ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: No. You are not the Leader of the Opposition. I take great exception to this. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I had wanted to contribute to the previous amendment and not on this one. view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill because basically it is abolishing examination fee. Hon. Speaker, in essence I am affected. Last year, 19 pupils in my constituency missed examinations because of poverty. They were locked out and I do not know if they are going to repeat but what I know is that 19 of them were locked out because they could not pay for the examination fee. Secondly, as somebody mentioned, it is true, it is discriminative because you can imagine a student in Alliance High School being charged the same amount as ... view
