• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The ERC regulates:- (a) Importation, exportation, generation, transmission, distribution, supply and use of electrical energy. That is one function. (b) Importation, exportation, transportation, refining, storage and sale of petroleum and petroleum products; that is the one that relates to petroleum. (c) Production, distribution, supply and use of renewal and other forms of energy. So, all the licensing which is done in this country in terms of energy is done by the ERC. So, price capping is not the only function they do. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, to the extent that we do not have our own oil, it will be very difficult for us to ascertain the actual price of fuel. So, the uncertainty and the volatility of price will continue. So, the only solution will be if we have our own oil so that we can overcome that. But I assure the hon. Members that, in fact, in the next review, because of the current downward trend in the prices which started in April and May, we expect the pump prices to be reduced. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have not been able to make strategic reserves. In fact, the intention is to develop a strategic reserve and we have to develop the infrastructure to store and also get the finances. We have the plan; the Ministry has, at least, to have the 90-day strategic reserve. I think that is a good idea, but we have not been able to manage it because of other issues. view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, one of the areas that we are dealing with is regulating the importation and distribution of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). In fact, you realize that it is a very dangerous product in terms of storage and distribution. On the pricing of electricity, the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) cannot increase prices without the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) coming in. When we are negotiating--- view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we put a price cap, we allow the companies to compete within that range. This is the maximum and so, people can sell below that. So, what the National Oil Corporation has done is actually to go below our maximum price, but nobody goes above the maximum price which has been set. OUTBREAK OF MEASLES IN KENYA view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek your indulgence. I have informed my colleague, Dr. Otichilo that I do not have an adequate answer. I request that the Question be deferred to Tuesday next week, when I will bring a comprehensive answer. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to apologise to the House for not being around last week. My Ministry was sanctioned by the Chair and we were told not to transact any business. Therefore, I would like to apologise and request to be allowed to transact business in this House. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I wish to clarify that contrary to reports by a section of the media, there was no adulterated fuel received into the KPC systems from an importer and no adulterated fuel has found itself into the market. (b) Before any refined petroleum product is received into the KPC system, quality control checks are carried out and, therefore, the following checks were carried out on the consignment of 76,213,089 litres received by GAPCO. (1) The importer provided the port of loading certificate of quality complying with the Kenya Bureau Standards specifications. I ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, our standards stipulate that the boiling point for super petrol should not exceed 210 degrees Celsius. However, we would like to maintain a figure below 205 degrees Celsius but we would like it to reach 210 degrees Celsius when it reaches the end users or the petrol stations. So, we would like to maintain that boiling point between the point of discharge into our system to the point of going to the consumer. So, we do not like it to be near the 210 degrees Celsius boiling point. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I would like to say that it was delivered through one pipeline. So, the pipeline is a multiproduct one and we sequence this in a given way. We have super diesel and diesel super and ultimately because of this interfacing, we have a mixture of both. What happened now is that the mixture became more than normal and normally when the mixtures are injected into a system so that the fuel comes back to the real thing. So, when it comes to the terminal, these mixtures which are in excess are directed to ... view
