• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to support the view of hon. Keynan. The first deletion that we did was on the issue of functionality. But I think what hon. Keynan is trying to bring about is the relationship between those particular departments. I think it makes sense that you separate the police from the Defence Forces. You can change the name but in terms of functionality, I think that he has a reason to suggest those kinds of amendments. view

• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Based on the fuel-cost-charge formula, benefits resulting from reduction in the cost of petroleum fuels used in power generation are passed on to the consumers through their monthly bills. Relative to May, 2012 fuel-cost-charge of Kshs6.97 per kilowatt hour, the fuel-cost-charge dropped to Kshs5.97 per kilowatt hour in the month of June and further to Kshs5.39 per kilowatt hour in the month of July. These reductions were passed on to the consumers. (b) As I have stated in part “a” of my answer, the fuel-cost component of electricity bills had gone ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the hon. Member that the rain in the month of April did not fill up the dams. So, we were unable to generate power immediately because we had to build up the capacity, so that we could retire some of the generators that the hon. Member is citing. The cost that could have been recovered is as I have already given. That was the best for the previous months. view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the parameters that I have talked about will lead to significant reduction, which can be passed on to consumers. The significant reduction can only be realized when we complete the power project that includes a 280 megawatt generation at Naivasha; it is supposed to be on by 2014 and another one by an independent power producer. We have also more geothermal power plants that are planned to generate up to around 560 megawatts which are going to be commissioned between 2015 and 2018. At this point, we will have a considerable relief for the consumers of ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member was listening, I have talked about “in the immediate to 2014.” Also, we expect a significant reduction between the year 2015 and 2018. That is after we have commissioned the two power plants; 280 megawatts and 560 megawatts generation. view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member wishes to know, the ERC is basically a regulator. The regulation appears to be more on the fuel energy than it is on electricity, because the one for power is fixed. I want to inform the hon. Member that Kenya Power charges a fixed charge, which is a fee that is levied to cater for costs like meter reading, billing, printing, postage of bills and customer care. We also have another charge that is fixed, called energy charge. This is a charge for the customers’ electricity consumption within the billing period which ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the hon. Member that we do not have shortcuts in trying to determine or sort out the issue of high cost of electricity. But I have indicated that the Ministry of Energy will commission, by the year 2018, enough power that will be generated at a cheaper cost. There will be no need for us to supplement this by using the thermal generators. To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware that many investors are living Kenya for Ethiopia. On the contrary, I think more investors are coming to Kenya ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue rose out of the supplementary questions that were asked by hon. Members. It was not specifically the failure by me to satisfy the House in terms of answering the Question as was listed on the Order Paper at that time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I picked a number of questions that the hon. Members were interested in knowing after looking at the HANSARD. With your indulgence, I am not sure whether you want me to read all of them. Most of them were totally different questions from what the hon. Member for ... view
