Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence, may I request that this Question be answered in the afternoon. That is because it just came to us in the evening yesterday. I really do not have a very appropriate answer. I request that, if possible, I do it in the afternoon.

3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been listening and I want to seek the guidance of the Chair on the fact that we have not been able to follow each answer because these points of order are coming and overlapping into each other. I think it would be in order for us to follow so that we can also be in the debate.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the hon. Member for understanding. The Ministry does not wait for Questions to be asked in Parliament. That process is ongoing. Even before this Question came up, we had started the process to determine the extent of the damage and the amount of money payable to the people who deserve compensation.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will excuse the Member for Chepalungu if he did not hear what I said. I have said that it is REA which will pay the compensation. It is the policy of the Ministry. The Ministry is the one which advises or gives directions to REA on the amount that is allocated to each constituency. It is part of the total cost that will be incurred while installing electricity to the specific areas within a specific constituency.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the assessment of the damage is based on the designs that are done before the project commences. The actual damage is what informs the exact amount of compensation to be paid. We assess what type of damage has been caused; whether it is on houses, trees or other agricultural crops that `may be within the areas that the electricity passes through.

15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the hon. Member to appreciate that for the Rural Electrification Programme in Kenya, the number of projects that we undertake in one particular year, especially in the 2009/2010 Financial Year, is way beyond 1,000. Therefore, I understand when the hon. Member says that we may have taken a little longer to pay the compensation to specific people. However, we are going to improve on that as we move on. We are going to ensure that all those factors are combined for all the constituencies. So, in future, there will be no reason for delay ...
