• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: I hate this time of five minutes. view
• 27 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Report. Since I serve in the Committee on Energy, I would like to focus on our recommendations. I plead with my colleagues to take time and read this Report. Once you read it, you will realize that the Senate Committee on Energy concentrated on finding solutions to our problems in terms of cost of energy. Let us sit here, argue, discuss and try to find out why electricity is expensive in this country, making everything else costly. We must focus on specific, time-bound recommendations to achieve something. One of our ... view
• 27 Feb 2024 in Senate: Committee on Energy, we recommended that we focus heavily on geothermal. If we focus on geothermal, we will be able to reduce the cost of electricity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other part that I hope that we can focus on is mostly investing heavily in renewable energy, focusing not only on geothermal, but also on solar energy. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with the current statistics that we have, we are only producing about 3 per cent in solar energy. If we have firms in this country or industrial plants that produce a lot of their products during the day, why not ... view
• 27 Feb 2024 in Senate: One of the things that we have to do is to find a way to deal with the cost which is being passed on to the consumers. When a power line is not working - and this why I differed with my Committee a little bit - it is not only the issue of KETRACO to be able to fix their transmission line, but also KPC and REA. We have to find a way where we sit down with the Ministry and discuss on how to bring all these parties on board. This will ensure that if there is a ... view
• 27 Feb 2024 in Senate: These reports normally come, we do a very good job, we spend a lot of taxpayers’ money, but if we do not follow through, the reports end up just collecting dust. You ask yourself, what did you do? I know tomorrow, on Thursday, the Committee on Energy is going to Kilifi to deal with this issue of nuclear power and to discuss with the residents of that area. If we cannot solve a problem of making sure that at least power or renewable energy is there, are we will be able to deal with issue of nuclear energy? Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Energy regarding electricity connectivity at various hospitals and public schools in Narok County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State why Emurua Dikirr Level 4 Sub County Hospital has not been installed with three-phase electricity to run the Radiology Department of the hospital. (2) State why over 27 schools located at Emurua Dikirr Sub County of Ilkerin, Kapsasian and Mogondo wards have not been connected to electricity. (3) Provide a status report on the replacement of all faulty ... view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Report. As I rise to support this Report, I remind us, because we are all getting very emotional and sometimes very sensational, the debate serves as a platform for intellectual exchange, view

• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: constructive dialogue, and the exploration of diverse perspectives on complex issues such as this. The reason we are discussing this National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) Report is because of complexity in our thinking. As men and Members of the opposition and Members who form the Government, that is what is leading us into debating this Report. As we talk to Kenyans, many people would be asking, what exactly are we debating? The debate now gives us a structure and an engagement way to explore and analyze different viewpoints leading to a deeper understanding of the topic at hand. The topic at ... view
