• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is true that we had discussed with the hon. Member and we generally agreed on the amendment that he is now proposing. However, that amendment has already been taken care of by the Minister's amendment which is appearing on page 582 of the Order Paper. We have inserted a new paragraph (w) in Clause 102 which gives the Minister powers to determine the retail prices of petroleum and petroleum products. So, in view of that amendment, this other amendment by hon. Ojode will be superfluous. We, therefore, would ask the hon. Member to consider ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. With due respect, I think there was confusion on both sides of the House because on our side we thought we were voting for Clause 10(b) and not Clause 10(a). We ask for clarity if the entire amendments that we are voting for could be repeated to us so that we can vote. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. We need some clarification from the Mover of this amendment. He is asking two December 6, 2006 PARLIAMEANTARY DEBATES 4235 questions in his amendment: First, he is seeking to delete the word "fifteen" and substitute therefor the word "seven", which we have no problem with. However, we have a problem with the second set of his amendment, where he seeks to delete the word "four" and replace it with the word "two". We would like to request him to either withdraw part two, so that we can support part one ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is true that it is not possible to fix a rate which will be affordable to all consumers. This is because "all consumers" is not defined. Secondly, if you look at Clause 43(4), you will see that the Commission is directed to fix a just and reasonable tariff. This should take care of the concerns about affordability, which are being raised by the hon. Members. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, so, I wish to oppose the amendment. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank hon. Members from both sides of the House for supporting this important Bill. The Bill provides us with very powerful legal instruments of providing affordable energy services to our people. As we have said, our policy in the Ministry this time round, is to provide electricity and other forms of energy to all the 210 constituencies of this country. So, I wish to thank hon. Members for empowering us to do so. We will do so through grid electricity and where we cannot reach, we will use other forms of ... view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I would like to thank my predecessors in the Ministry, hon. Nyachae and hon. Obwocha, the Assistant Minister, the Permanent Secretary, the Ministry staff and all the other stakeholders who have participated in developing this Bill. The policy on which this Bill is based is contained in the Sessional Paper No. 4 of 2004. It is quite clear that access to reliable and affordable energy is critical for the development of all economic and social sectors of this country. You will recall that for you to come here, you had to use either ... view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: As far as politics is concerned, you are not going to hear Mr. Kiraitu Murungi in politics of noise and confrontation. I do not want to quarrel with anybody. I want to work very closely with my 3792 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 21, 2006 colleagues. My mission is to fight darkness, and ensure that every Kenyan, wherever he or she lives, has access to modern forms of energy. Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Our Standing Orders do require a Member of Parliament who has a personal interest on a subject matter being discussed before the House to declare his interest. Hon. Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o, according to the HANSARD, is the one who went, sat down and concocted this Report with Mr. John Githongo in London for political purposes. Could hon. Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o declare his interests in this Report? view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is on record that Mr. Githongo himself said that Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o is among those people who were putting pressure on him to release this Report when the Cabinet was dissolved, so that it might influence the decision of the President in the appointment of the new Cabinet. That is the interest that my friend had, to make sure Mr. Murungi and others cannot be reappointed. view
• 18 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am sorry to keep on interrupting my friend. However, what Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o says constitutes a criminal offence would only be so if those facts were true. view
