• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I have just stated what needs to happen. As to the formula, the hon. Member is aware that it needs to come to this House as it is required. What I have just indicated is that it will definitely be reflected in the new price increases. On the logistics of doing it, I want to believe that the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and the bodies that work together should be able to provide the way forward. view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I have tried to explain that the determination of the prices is normally done by the ERC every 15th day of the month or thereabouts. When the Government announced subsidies, in my Statement I said that the Government subsidies have still not been factored in. That effectively means that we may not have been in a position, as a Government, to effect the subsidies immediately as announced by the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister. However, I have assured this House that come the next announcement of the prices, definitely, it will be factored in. Mr. Speaker, ... view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Ministry, we are closing in on the players who do not want to act within the rules that we have set in the industry. I know that at an opportune time, we will reign on them and ensure that Kenyans are not subjected to what has happened recently. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The following projects and their status have been undertaken by the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) and the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) in Migori during the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 financial years:- 1. Financial Year 2008/2009 view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the hon. Member for appreciating what the Ministry of Energy and REA are doing to light up this country. I would like to assure the hon. Member that the construction of Kanyaundo Market, K’Ogutu Market and Wuoth Ogik Market which is currently at the design and construction stage will be done within the next one month. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to appreciate the question and the concern by the hon. Member. Previously, we have not been able to connect within the time that we had anticipated because of lack of the 50 KVA transformers. However, I would like to report to this House and for the confidence of the hon. Member, that just the other day, the REA procured successfully 600 transformers. We are already hitting the ground to be able to catch up with the backlog that was remaining. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the hon. Member that there is no difference between the agencies under the Ministry of Energy that are charged with ensuring that the business of lighting Kenya is on. However, there could have been one or two issues relating to the quality of work that has been done before. For this reason, we have the Service Level Agreement (SLA) whose primary objective is to ensure that these problems are not forthcoming because the two institutions are working for the people of Kenya. The REA is concerned with the infrastructure development and the ... view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the KPLC is doing a good job. What I can only say is that there might have been a slight delay which was occasioned by lack of important equipment like the transformers. Honestly, we cannot connect power without the transformers. However, I want to assure the House and the hon. Member that the two parastatals are going to--- view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that the two parastatals are now working together. Under the Service Level Agreement that they signed, the part that the KPLC is supposed to do, will be done. I am not aware of any sluggish behaviour. I want to take this opportunity as well just to reassure the House that the two parastatals will have to work within the stipulated time to ensure that power is supplied to all and sundry. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) There was no original design of the project as it was to be implemented through an Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) type of contract. After advertising for prequalification of EPC contractors, the bids were found to be non- responsive and, therefore, no firm was awarded the EPC contract. (b) The original EPC tender was split into four because two out of three bidders withdrew their proposals, thus making the process non- competitive. In addition, the bid security of the remaining bidder was found to be defective, hence rendering the tender a ... view
