• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Ochieng talked about filling his car with diesel, and not supper petrol. I said that there has not been any crisis regarding diesel in this country. We have sufficient diesel in Nairobi and elsewhere. Yesterday, I was with the oil marketers, and they confirmed that there is sufficient diesel. This morning, I was with the management of the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), and nobody talked about shortage of diesel. They talked about super petrol. So, I want to confirm that there is sufficient diesel in the country and, therefore, there is no cause for ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Members for the clarifications that they are seeking. We have the current stock which is going to last us for the month of May. We are importing the next lot on 15th May to take us into June. So, we import products once every month. The products that we have are sufficient to take this country for the rest of the month, if we bring in the emergency cargo, which I said there is a tender to bring it on Tuesday next week. Both hon. Muthama and hon. Ogindo seem ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to disagree with the hon. Member. The pipeline enhancement was done. It was pumping at 440 and we are now talking about 600. We are doing some correction works at PS No.14 in Mombasa and this will move to 831 million litres per hour. Why does nobody talk about the new pipeline that we are doing, which we call Line 4 from Nairobi to Eldoret? We are supervising it to ensure that the problems we faced in Line 1 are not there. We only look at Line 1 and not where we are doing ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want a very consultative process. I want to deal with the issues in the petroleum sector in a very comprehensive manner. I have decided to call a stakeholders’ meeting where I will involve Members of Parliament, marketers and workers. We will take two days to look at all the problems facing this sector and come up with a comprehensive action plan. I do not want to be coming here to answer questions on prices today, shortages tomorrow and such things. I want us to develop a comprehensive master plan for the petroleum subsector. It ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue raised by Mr. Chanzu is true. After Triton, we tightened the systems at KPC. We said products cannot leave the pipeline unless they have been paid for and unless all the taxes are paid. We enhanced the product accountability system within KPC. This could cause some minor delays, but I think we cannot change the system. This is because if we relax on it, the House will be calling again because there is Triton No.2 and Triton No.3. So, please, bear with us. We will stick with the strict product accountability system that ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, regarding Mr. Konchela’s issue, we are required by the Constitution to look at the possibilities in the county governments for energy distribution systems. We will be working with the county governments, when they are established, to see whether we can put up a storage facility in every county. That will cushion us even better instead of having a centralized storage facility in Nairobi. I want to appreciate the former Minister for Finance, Mr. Okemo who was also the Minister for Energy. In fact, he should have resolved these problems that he is asking me to resolve. ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was asked so many questions that some of them disappeared. The 30 per cent tax reduction which we have put on kerosene and the 20 per cent on diesel will directly translate to the pump prices. I hope to assure the country that that will happen because of the price regulations that were introduced. In fact, when they were calculated, the 20 per cent in diesel translated to Kshs2 and the ERC immediately announced that oil prices have come down by Kshs2 as a result of the tax reduction. So, if there was no price ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: So, I think Kenyans are taken care of because of the price control regime that we have introduced. Thank you very much. view
