• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not think Hon. Sankok - whom I sit with in the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare - is in order to expand the talk of safety networks in our schools - which are now very important because they touch on an issue that is currently happening in our schools - and associate it with teachers’ strikes. The teachers signed a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and you will agree with me that we have not had a teachers’ strike in the last two or four years. I do not know whether ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute. The SRC is founded under Article 230 of our Constitution. The Commission was given the mandate to set and review the remuneration and benefits of all State officers and advise the national and county governments on remuneration and benefits of all The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: public officers. That is a job that requires somebody with great integrity, which Dr. Ben Chumo lacks. Earlier on, one of the speakers indicated that this is a job that requires one who is beyond reproach. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I want to congratulate the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Limo, because he began very well on Dr. Chumo. He indicated and, indeed, the House has been told that when vetting, we base our judgement on knowledge of the individual, experience and integrity among other things. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as indicated by one Member who spoke earlier, the nominee, Dr. Chumo is 62 years having been born in 1956. Whether that should suffice or not to block his approval, we want to encourage that the youth be nominated also and get into the workforce. I would think that was already a limiting factor. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Dr. Chumo joined Kenya Power in 2013. When he joined, he actually doubled the electricity connectivity to many homes and industries. In fact, he moved the connections from 2.8 million households to 4.87 households. Unfortunately, most of those connections were illegal. Therefore, they ended up denying Kenya Power the revenue it needed. In fact, it is because of that that Kenya Power later on changed its rules to have pre-paid metering instead of post-paid. I am saying this so that we do not just divulge that he does not only qualify because of the fact that he is facing an ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: During Dr. Chumo’s tenure at Kenya Power, he increased its debt to Kshs105 billion. I hope the Chairman of the Committee is listening to me. I know he has these facts. Originally the Kenya Power debt stood at Kshs42.8 billion. This was a clear indication of mismanagement of Kenya Power. Therefore, he does not qualify even if he were not being charged in court of law. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: By the time Dr. Chumo joined Kenya Power, it was sitting on a cash base of about Kshs28 billion, but by the time he was leaving in 2016, Kenya Power had deteriorated and was only having a cash base of Kshs5 billion. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Lastly, the period Dr. Chumo was at Kenya Power, its efficiency ratio - these are researched facts - deteriorated to from 82.7 per cent in 2012 to 80.6 per cent. Therefore, in as much as we may feel that Dr. Chumo was qualified and had the experience, his experience at Kenya Power was not good. Even if he was not facing corruption charges he would still not qualify as the Chairman of the SRC. The SRC is a body that was created to look into the general remuneration of workers in Kenya. Coming from the trade union background, we require ... view
