• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member for Eldoret North seems to be saying that investors cannot make decisions to come to Kenya in the immediate because we do not have sufficient power. I have told this House that we are currently generating 1,392 megawattss of electricity. The pick demand for electricity in this country is not even 1,392 megawattss. So, we do not have a problem in terms of the amount of electricity that is required. However, the cost of production is high. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, of course, comparative to other governments, our Government can do what its citizens require in terms of power generation. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already talked about us being members to East African Power Pool. I have said that the Government of Egypt, the two Sudans, all the way to South Africa, we now belong to one pool and the intention of the East African Power Pool is to try and have feeding tariffs that are similar within the member States of those who are members--- view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to say before that, that I am one Assistant Minister who takes his work very seriously. If you look at the Questions that were put in, none of all those things that have been requested now was part of it. So, it is just not right that some of our Members feel that I did not take the House seriously. I take the House very seriously. To prove it, on all these questions which have been put forward, if I am given time, I can give a comprehensive report on Thursday next week, ... view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, will it be the same Question or the others because there are a myriad of others? view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that Kamiti Corner Estate residents are living in fear due to damaged power lines which supposedly killed two dogs and damaged electrical goods worth thousands of shillings in April, 2012. However, the only complaint from the estate was an incident reported on 15th April, 2012, and that was on low voltage network which was falling below the recommended voltage of 240 to 415 voltages. (b) The above fault was traced to a broken neutral conductor occassioned by third party short circuit by a concrete steel reinforcment of an ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want my friend to get disappointed. I was answering the question about the fault that was reported in the said area. The part where the dogs were killed is what I was not aware of. As I said, I am aware of a low voltage problem, which was in the network. I said clearly that if the said contractor, who caused this kind of fault, does not apply for re-routing of the power line, we will disconnect the power line. For the information of hon. Members, we, at the Ministry of Energy, do not ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have comprehensive rules that we follow in the event that there is a problem occasioned by low voltage or excess voltage within the network. We are very clear that unless the fault is on the side of the supply of electricity, we do not take responsibility. Where accidents or incidents are occasioned by malfunctioning of power supply, the Kenya Power Company (KPC) has guidelines on how to compensate the affected parties. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue that the hon. Member has highlighted is very critical. All the parastatals within the Ministry of Energy are only allowed to lay electric power lines within the way-leave areas. I am not aware of any construction that has been done in the middle of a road. However, I will countercheck this with my officers and ensure that they only construct power lines on the correct way-leaves that have been provided, so that we do not have such incidents or accidents occurring. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, definitely, I am a very responsible Assistant Minister. What the hon. Member has raised is exactly what we are doing. However, these are appliances which sometimes become faulty. In areas where we have had faults, we have been very quick to respond to ensure that we arrest the situation. So, I want to assure this House and Kenyans that the Ministry of Energy, together with its parastatals view
