• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the Industrial Training (Amendment) Act, 2007 provides for the submission of levy for each employee by the employer to the Industrial Training Levy Fund to facilitate the training of persons involved in the industry; concerned with the increasingly high number of apprentices engaging in drug and alcohol abuse after the programme due to lack of employment; noting further that the youth continue to have limited access to training and employment opportunities, this House urges the Government to enforce compliance with Article 55 of the Constitution ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion on one part and oppose the second part of the Motion. The first part is a timely Motion--- view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: It has two parts at the end. One is about--- view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Okay. I will support it, but with some amendments. Now, the Motion is timely, but I would like to look at it from two angles. If you looked at KP ten years ago, it had the responsibility to generate, transmit and distribute power. Currently, those responsibilities have been allocated to different companies. KenGen has the responsibility of generating power. KETRACO has the responsibility of transmitting power from the generating stations to the sub- stations and KP has the mandate to take the power to the consumers from the sub-stations. From when that was done, there has been a lot of ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: With Kshs1,000 you can buy a mobile phone. I am corrected by the Leader of Minority Party. So, I believe that when we liberalise our distribution of power, we shall be able to attain cheaper electricity. But there are also dangers involved with liberalisation of the power industry. Already, the types of systems that we are having out there are an eyesore. The power lines are not beautiful and they are not something that we would like to see every other day. So, if we bring in more players, just like the way we have so many telecommunication masts dotted ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the other hand, I would like to congratulate Kenya Power because for the last ten years, it has had a very good improvement in the services. It has connected more people in ten years than what had been done from Independence up to the last 40 years. We have also seen them moving from analogue to digital where you can now know your bill from your phone. You can get your bills on your phone. So, I must really congratulate them because they have done a good job. But we need to have a ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The Government must also help KP to protect its equipment. There have been complaints that it is inefficient but some of those inefficiencies are not caused by KP. They are caused by vandalism of KPC systems. Our people who fry chips have discovered that it is much cheaper to use transformer oil to fry chips rather than cooking fat. That is because transformer oil will fry chips for more than two years without being replenished. So, we must also control that. We must even ask our public health personnel to check on people who are using transformer oil to fry ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on compensation, we know that every fire that we hear about is reported to be caused by an electrical fault. I know that KP has a good insurance scheme to compensate people who are injured or those who incur losses from misuse or abuse of view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the hon. Member for requesting that Statement. I promise that the Committee will work on that. Right now, we have quite some workload. I ask her to give us two months before we bring the Statement. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, you realize that this will require a lot of research. Already the Committee is working on tasks that are supposed to be completed, and some have deadlines. If you want us to give a well researched and conclusive Statement, then two months is not a long time. view
