• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wanted to seek clarification concerning those soldiers; I have read in newspapers that so many soldiers are dying, and we are not getting a clear picture of the number of soldiers who have died. I also want to know - this has been debated - whether it is possible to withdraw Kenyan Soldiers from Somalia. What value will Kenya get by keeping them in Somalia instead of being bombed left, right and centre? Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: This is a very intelligent Speaker! Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Mining Bill, Bill No.9 of 2014. I support this Bill subject to the inclusion of several amendments because I feel there are grey areas that should be addressed. I would say that it has come at the right time when Kenya has discovered hydro-carbons, oil in Turkana and Isiolo, gas in Lamu and Turkana, coal in Kitui, iron ore in Taita Taveta, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: limestone in Kitui South where hon. (Ms.) Nyamai comes from and so many places. So, Kenya has become a hotspot for mineral exploration because as the trends have shown, Africa contains more hydro-carbons than the Middle East. It is only that it had not been discovered before. But all the attention globally is focused in Africa and especially East Africa where Kenya and Uganda have discovered oil and Tanzania has discovered gas in large quantities. What this means is that we can, with the right legislation, transform our economy to the middle income status within a short time, so long ... view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Yes! Even those who read the Quran because it says so!

So, we will be a very powerful country so long as we are united; so long as we avoid corruption and so long as the benefits from the extraction of those minerals will be used to develop this country. Hon. Speaker, the Bill must ensure that there is transparent exploitation of those resources that will benefit the people from where they are found. This idea of 10 ... view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We will exploit them when we gain that technology. But we should not give away our minerals. This is a finite resource. It is something that when we extract, it is gone! Unless you get the most benefit out of it, it is gone! I do not want to talk about the Mining Bill, 2014, because the powers of the Cabinet Secretary--- I will say this because in Kitui County where I come from, we have discovered a lot of coal, limestone and iron ore. Those are resources that can support the manufacturing and steel industry. We can produce coal, ... view
