• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we understand that there are three vessels awaiting discharge at Mombasa. When the long term measures that I have outlined are undertaken, including creation of strategic reserve capacity both in Nairobi and up country, then there will be no shortages of fuel in the country. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as I know it is not possible to have any product being sold in this country without paying duty. I believe that even for the Triton products, duty had been paid unless there is evidence to the contrary. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, regarding the price of fuel and the intervention by NOCK, it was the intention of my Ministry to introduce price controls with effect from the end of January. You will recall that there was a high level National, Economic and Social Council, which is the principal advisor to the Government on economic and social matters, which prevailed upon my Ministry not to introduce price controls but to empower NOCK so that it regulates prices in the market. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for NOCK to be in a position to regulate these prices, it must control a significant share of the market. As I am talking now, NOCK controls about 5 per cent of the market. So it has very little impact.

Therefore, the presumption that we have is that because the Triton products left the warehouse, duty must have been paid. If the hon. Member has any information or evidence that duty was not paid, let him lay that evidence on the Table. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we all know that piracy is a serious problem. It is an international crime and is being handled within the framework of international law. There is an effort being co-ordinated through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The foreign navies which are escorting the ships are part of that effort. I, therefore, believe that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be in a better position to make give details about this. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding the dangers posed by the pipeline to our low income earners at Mukuru kwa Njenga, we are aware of the problem.
