• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, why was the ERC increasing the upper limit of fuel prices? Let me put it to the House that it was to clean up the mess into which this country has been plunged by the National Oil Corporation (NOC). Sometime in January/February, NOC was given authority to import crude oil, but the Corporation did not have the capacity to import crude oil. Therefore, they under-quoted and when their crude oil consignment got into the country, they attempted to increase the prices. All the marketing players in the oil industry refused to deal with NOC. view

• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is not about the Government. I think there is a misconception. What we are talking about is affecting all Kenyans. I do not want to accuse the Government of anything. All I wanted is to advise the Minister. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: The Gazette Notice that empowers the ERC to be increasing fuel prices seems to be hurting Kenyans more than it is helping them. I think the Minister can help us. His own Oil Industry Supply Co-ordination Committee has made recommendations, which the ERC has rejected for reasons known to them. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was saying that in February, this year, the NOC was given authority, and not money, to import crude oil, but NOC did not have the capacity to bring the crude oil into the country. When NOC finally brought the crude oil, they tried to sell it to other industry players at a higher price than what had been negotiated. That is where the problem is. What the ERC is trying to do is to clean up this mess, and we cannot accept that. Since I have been interrupted so much, I am going to table ... view

• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will take only one minute. I want to encourage us, as Members of Parliament, not to use the Floor of this House frivolously. There is nothing in law which would stop any Minister or any Member of Parliament from employing anybody who is related to them. What we are saying is that one should not engage in excessive favouritism. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been accused here and I have spoken like this before. I have been accused just because my sister happens to be a wife of a member of the ... view
