• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I mentioned earlier, the current power supply is below the demand. In fact, at any given time, there are some stations which are not supplying power to the national grid. They are currently being serviced. As of today, we have 174 megawatts which are not being supplied to the network. If we do not invest more, we might have shortage of about 300 megawatts. So, what the Chairman says is correct. The KP depends on supply of generated power from KenGen and from other sources. So, they only distribute what they have. So, it is not ... view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, they are not temporary solutions. We are putting permanent solutions. We are building two substations. As I said, these are supposed to be commissioned by November this year. view
• 9 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. Let me thank Mr. Affey for bringing this Motion. Let me also thank the international media and our media and the Kenya Red Cross for bringing the plight of our people in the region to the limelight. Thank you very much for the support from various regions. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the drought which we are experiencing today is said to be the worst in the last 60 years. I am told that this type of drought was there in 1950s. Today, the drought we are talking about is ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would also thank my colleague, Mr. Langat for bringing this very important Motion. We are aware of the problems caused by high fuel prices in this country. We are aware that high fuel prices are hurting the people in this country and also affecting our industrial production. We have been grappling with that matter as the Ministry of Energy and, in fact, the idea of bringing a price cap was to see how best to control the price of ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I was saying, in our efforts to reign in the price of petroleum in this country, the Government introduced the price capping mechanism so that we can raise view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: the international oil prices. But it is not working well because oil prices are increasing day by day, globally. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas it is desirable to look for fuel subsidy, I think the benefit of subsidy, as mentioned by colleague, will normally accrue to high income people and not the poor person. Elsewhere, where subsidies have been tried, I think the majority who benefit are people who are in the high income bracket and not the poor person. Any case of subsidy, although, sometimes, it can be evenly distributed, can be misdirected from the household sector to the transport sector. The problem of high oil prices is something that is universal and global. We need to ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: I am not responding on behalf of the Government but I am contributing. My colleague from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance will respond on behalf of the Government. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas the intention of the Motion is very good, and I thank the hon. Member who brought it, I wonder how best this can be implemented. It is important for us to really realise that there are areas where we can think of subsidies like agriculture and manufacturing and not this area of high consumption. This is a consumer area. If ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose the amendment by hon. Bahari. This matter of the first review has been discussed at length in this House and in various fora. I do not think it is fair for us to start going back and negating the gains we have made. The first review has been done by the IIBRC. If you want us to start doing a fresh review, as hon. Duale has said, we start afresh and then we will have a problem with all the constituencies which are now protected. I, therefore, oppose the amendment. view
