• 4 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform my very able colleague that, indeed, what he is talking about has already been done. When I was at the Ministry of Energy we had a programme for universal electricity connectivity for this country by the year 2030.

• 4 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Statement was supposed to be given to this House two weeks ago and the ban on miraa only came yesterday. So, we do not understand why the Government does not seem to appreciate the urgency and importance of this matter.

• 4 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, what I am saying is true because I am aware and given time, I can bring the facts but it is misleading to say that KenGen has not associated itself with this community because for sure they have built primary schools and employed local people. For those who have said that they have not employed people, they should show that by tabling the list of people employed there to show whether local people are not employed. So, making such statement is not fair on KenGen. view

• 3 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. We like the good English from the Professor, but is he really in order to insinuate that the current Jubilee Government is in power illegally after they won the elections and the results were confirmed by the Supreme Court? view
