• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The economy of Kenya has grown to be one of the largest in East and Central Africa, but the Line 1 Pipeline, which was designed 25 years ago, has a capacity of around 800 cubic metres per hour. It is aging and is subject to bursts. It is causing fires as it did in Sinai, which killed very many people. It is important for the country to build new pipelines to transport petroleum products to the hinterland from to the Coast, where it is stored. The line has lasted a long time. It now does not have the capacity to ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Our road infrastructure has suffered a lot of destruction from petrol tankers. That is not the most economic way to transport petroleum products. In economies that are growing at a rate of 5 per cent and above worldwide, transportation of fuel, or petroleum The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: products, is done through pipelines. They are efficient, reliable and cost effective. You transport these products in bulk to many regions at a record time, so long as you do not use the pipeline for a long time without repair. Most countries in the world are benefiting from the low crude oil prices. The cost of crude oil has dropped globally and countries that have been strategic in their planning like China and others have storage facilities for fuel. They store enough during the good times when fuel and petroleum products are selling cheaply in the international markets. It is ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The price of fuel should be below Kshs50 per litre. In other countries, the low cost of fuel is reflected on what the citizenry pay for related services. In Kenya, inflation has gone up to above 6 per cent. The cost of goods and services has not reduced. In some cases, the cost of transport has increased. Besides the collusion between industry players to exploit the Kenyan workers, our problem is worsened by lack of enough storage facilities to take advantage of the low fuel prices. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the pipeline will help this country to grow. In fact, once ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to support the Committee’s recommendation. Today is one of the happiest days I have had in the National Assembly. This House has shown a bipartisan stand by approving the retirement benefits for the former Prime Minister and the former Vice President of this country. They have spoken so well from across the political divide. I must thank both sides of the House for showing solidarity and standing by the truth. God will reward you. With regard to teachers’ pension, this ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: performance and certificates. Whether you are qualified or not, everybody passed through the hands of a teacher at some point in life. We have to respect teachers. If there are people who work very hard in this country, even more than us, they are the teachers and doctors. They work 24/7 and are paid very little. However, to add insult to injury, you deny them their rightful share of the benefits. These people should be paid immediately. In fact, we should not even wait. I understand Kshs 16.5 billion in the Pensions Department can be disbursed first and then the ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to second. There are so many Bills lined up and we have a lot of work, which we have to complete.

• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: the business before the House. It is for the good of this House, so that we are ahead of time. We need to pass as many Bills as possible and the workload that is left behind is addressed. We may not finish in one or two Sessions, but I am sure that with the co- operation of the Members, we can cover a lot of ground. I beg to second. view

• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to support the Report at the outset. This Supplementary Budget of 2014/2015 is good although they have not said where the additional Kshs70.07 billion will come from. We have not seen any sources of funding whether it will come from re -allocation from other departments or savings from the wastage that we have been having or could be the donor funding. There are good things that I feel I should support this budget. I have seen that over Kshs700 million has been allocated for developing infrastructure for 24 new universities. This will be very good because it will ... view
