• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: mandate of REA. Now it is going to be called something like “RUREC” so that it can also deal with the new regime. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, more often than not, countries have not been able to expand the capacity they have in terms of energy generation. We have found ourselves in a situation where debate at the global level is whether we are spending too much energy to the point that there is climate change, while on other side, there are many countries that would like to develop and would continue to utilise the natural resources they have so that they can market their ideas and remove their people from poverty. Kenya has had a robust regime when it comes to energy use but ... view

• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, therefore, we would like to see, for example, the various innovations by our young people also finding a market, in terms of, for example, solar lamps and how that functions in terms of renewable energy. Do we see them being promoted in terms of the charging systems of our mobile phones and televisions back at home and any other form of gadget that would actually use solar? We would like to see that and I would like, of course, to imagine that the consolidated Energy Fund and the powers that we have here, as Parliament, will see to ... view

• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The other issue that also comes out as a novelty for this Bill is the sharing of information so that those who would like to invest in this sector do it accordingly. Of course, I believe that this will go a long way in terms of ensuring that we do not just profile figures in terms of reach but in actual sense we go ahead to extrapolate that so that we can reach out to the deficit that exists. It is during the 11th Parliament that Hon. Kangongo Bowen and I brought a Motion about reduction of tariffs. That has ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The other issue that comes out clearly in this Bill is that there is a proper provision of law in relation to the way electricity tariffs, contracting and wayleaves are going to be done either by the Government or the agencies of the Government. The new regime should also ensure that there is clear thinking around how one will approach matters to do with compensation if his or her land is being utilised for purposes of distribution. But most succinctly is the issue around billing that has been a key challenge in this country. Most Kenyans will agree with me ... view

• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The other thing that comes out clearly is that this country has not been able to utilise nuclear energy. You can see the renaming and rewording of that corporation that was in charge of this resource. I would also like to imagine that this should not be lost just because we are adding new responsibilities. view
