• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, this answer will be the answer to Question No. 1 by Private Notice. The hon. Member is forcing me to answer the Question which was dropped by you, but to be fair to him, I will answer it. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Based on fuel cost charge formula, benefits resulting from the reduction of the cost of petroleum fuels used in power generation are passed on to the consumer through their monthly bills. Relative to the May, 2012 fuel cost charge of Kshs6.97 per kilowatt hour, the fuel cost charge dropped to Kshs5.97 per kilowatt hour in June and, further, to Kshs5.39 per kilowatt hour in July.

• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the names proposed by the Committee. The enactment of the National Land Commission Act has revolutionised the way land is going to be managed in this country. I am sure that the persons that have been nominated to serve in this Commission will be up to the task. They are distinguished Kenyans, and I am confident that they will be able to discharge their duties as stipulated in the National Land Commission Act. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my only appeal is that the Commissioners should serve the national interest, and not represent ... view

• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that several companies have shown interest in exploiting wind energy in Bubisa location, Marsabit County. Production, distribution, supply and use of wind energy and other forms of energy is governed by the Energy Act of 2006. It has provisions for protecting the interest of the consumer, investor and other stakeholder interest. In addition, elaborate measures and regulatory provisions for protection of environment and conservation of natural resources are contained in the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act (EMCA) of 1999. This is enforced by the National Environment Management Agency (NEMA). view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: (b) As there exist no express environmental laws and policies on sharing natural resources, consultations are ongoing within Government to provide for legal and regulatory modalities for sharing of natural resources in line with Article 69 of the Constitution. view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the questions being raised by the hon. Member are very valid; it is a very legitimate concern. Hitherto, the Government has been dealing with this on very piecemeal basis. The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, the Ministry of Energy and others have been dealing with these resources on a very piecemeal basis. But with the new Constitution, it is a requirement that we should harmonize all the laws and be able to comply with the provision of Article 69. Consultation is going on within Government; there is an inter-Ministerial Committee. The laws are now being reviewed ... view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that most of the companies that are exploiting wind energy are actually looking for private financiers to finance their ventures. These financiers have been asking for guarantees from the Government and, of course, within our laws the Treasury is mandated to guarantee or give letters of comfort to companies. But despite the delay, I think one company which has been doing the Turkana project has been given those guarantees now. I think we are now in the process of finalizing that. But I agree that there were delays caused within the Government because these ... view
• 31 Jul 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, we have been mapping the wind resource in this country. In fact, we have a preliminary wind atlas. We are now doing further data logging in various places in the country, to see how effective the wind potential or regime is and how best it can be used. The first atlas was launched in 2008. We are now still finalizing that and firming it up by having further data masts in the region. So, we are actually updating our wind atlas. view
