• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to thank my very good friend, Sen. Mwakulegwa, for the very elaborate response that he has given to my request. I will be quick to say that Kenya Power has taken advantage of its monopoly to exploit Kenyans. Research has shown that Kenya Power charges the highest rates not only for connectivity but also for consumption of electricity. This explains why we are losing so many investors to the neighbouring countries in the region. Paying Kshs15,000 is too high for connection of electricity for a peasant Kenyan. I wanted the Vice-Chairman to give us concrete ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.45(2)(b). I beg to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land and Natural Resources concerning the mining of ballast by China Overseas Engineering Group Company Limited (COVEC) in Vihiga County.

The Senator for Kisii asked a very specific question and I do not think the Chairman has come out clearly to answer it. He asked about the numerous charges that are loaded on our electricity bills. This is one of the countries where electricity is very expensive and, as a result, we are scaring away investors. Some of us receive electricity bills of up to Kshs40,000 a month, just for ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to this Petition, I now understand the bitterness that is driving many Senators to go and run for these positions of governor. I take this opportunity to hail the five patriotic residents of Bungoma County for their bravery in bringing this Petition and for the confidence that they have in this Senate to address issues affecting them. The story of corruption, misappropriation and spending beyond budgeted figures reads the same in all counties. It is the duty of this Senate to ensure that this comes to an end. Devolution is not benefitting Kenyans as envisaged in ... view
