• 16 Jun 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to end by saying that I served my term as a senator of Narok County. I fought my battles, some of them very painful. I ended up being arrested because of fighting for the rights of my people. I want to state here categorically that I shall continue pointing out where people go wrong. In my last Statement which I submitted yesterday, and I hope that the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining can look into those things that ail this country, we have people who do not believe in our sovereignty. We have people ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(1) to make a Statement on an issue of national concern. This has to do with the mismanagement of the petroleum sector. I hope that my colleagues will pay attention to this Statement because it is something that they should contribute to, so that we can get some sanity into it. Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(1) to make a Statement on an issue of national concern namely, the mismanagement of the petroleum sector allegedly by officials in the Ministry of Petroleum and ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Instead, the Principal Secretary (PS), State Department of Petroleum and Mining, Mr. Andrew Kamau, has tried to remove the 30 per cent allocation set aside for NOCK to import petroleum into this country. Madam Deputy Speaker, as a Member of the Standing Committee on Energy, I have sat in numerous meetings where the PS has indicated to us that there were no such things in law that set aside an importation of 30 per cent of petroleum products to the NOCK. It is after our Committee showed him Legal Notice No.96 of 2010, that he agreed that NOCK can import ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: indicating that while we have oil in Turkana, we cannot refine it because the quantities do not allow. I can confirm that the quantities in Turkana are enough to allow for refining of the product in Kenya. Kenya can refine 120,000 barrels of oil everyday, which would make it be able to meet the consumption of members of the East African Community(EAC). This would make Kenya and EAC self-reliant on fuel and stop the importation of refined fuel and all the by products that come from refined fuel such as fertilizers. Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to mention the ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: I am winding up, Madam Deputy Speaker. I hope that future governments that are coming - and I hope it is going to be the government of His Excellency Raila Odinga - will be able to really take these matters seriously to address the cost of living. view
• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a stickler to detail. I am looking at what has been presented to us for debate here but I cannot see a schedule that shows the amount of money that is supposed to go to the counties. view
• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: Sen. Cherargei, if you listen, you might learn something because I do not stand up just for the sake of it. If you look at the Supplementary Order Paper, on page 1332, there is a Schedule there. However, I have never seen a title like Conditional Allocation to County Governments from National Government Revenue in Financial Year 2022/2023. First, that title is misleading because the title for that Bill was changed. It was indicated that it is additional allocations and not conditional allocations. view
• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we address that, there are a couple of issues that I want clarified. view
• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: First, this table here shows figures for two Financial Years; 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. I can read mischief here because we only have about 15 days to the end of the financial year. Do we expect this money to go to the counties within the next 15 days, or is this money being bundled up to be sent in the next financial year, which in this case, if you listen to the submissions that were made by my colleague Sen. Cherargei, then of course the children will not benefit? Mr. Speaker, Sir, before we proceed, can this be made clearer? I ... view
