• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did mention that we requested for a certain amount of money, but that was what was allocated. Our targets are still the same. In fact, the strategic plan for the REA for 2008 to 2012 is on course. In fact, we require about Kshs10 billion per year for the rural electrification programme. However, we will adjust accordingly depending on the finance we get from the Treasury. view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion and thank the Mover for the eloquent manner in which he has moved the Motion. The drought is here with us. This is not the first time we have had drought in this country. There have been many successive droughts. We have been experiencing drought before and the Government has been aware of it. There has been no preparedness. It is unfortunate that today, we are talking about ways of dealing with the drought when the effects have already been felt. There is a serious food shortage in the country ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Matuu Town Council applied for electricity connection to Kithimani Makutano Water Project in September 2008 under reference No.E25832008090101. The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) Limited issued a budgetary estimate of Kshs384, 006 in December 2008 which Matuu Town Council settled in January 2009. The KPLC Limited identified the final borehole location and prepared a firm quotation for supply early November 2010 with a difference of Kshs110, 000 between the budgetary estimate and the firm quotation. The applicant was informed to top up the difference so as to facilitate the power ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that there was delay on the part of the KPLC Limited. In fact, when we got the information we were not happy with what they had done. However, the fact of the matter is that the amount of Kshs110, 731 is now due. We have instructed them to connect power to the borehole by December 15th and recover the extra money in five equal installments. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I informed the House that the initial Kshs384, 000 was a budgetary estimate. The figure including Kshs110, 000 is a firm quotation. I agree there was a delay on the part of the KPLC Limited after receiving the payment not to connect electricity to the borehole. However, they did not do the firm quotation which was done much later. Therefore, the initial figure was a budgetary estimate. When they did the survey itself and got the quantities, the figure went up by Kshs110, 000. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is trying to answer the Question for me. It is true that we gave an estimate in 2008 and prices could have changed. However, we are telling them to pay the difference due to the delay in connection in installments. However, the actual cost to supply power to the borehole now is Kshs110, 000 on top of the Kshs384, 000. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes we did the estimates in 2008 but the actual cost of supplying now is Kshs110, 000 more than the original. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a different Question. Delays occur due to many reasons. However, on this particular case, we were not happy with the KPLC Limited because of the two years delay. The fact of the matter now is that for us to connect power to the borehole, we require Kshs110, 000. I am saying we are going to ask them to pay in installments, which is not normal. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the sentiments of the hon. Member. However; I am not in a position to say whether we are going to waive this amount. The KPLC Limited delayed in connection and we have reprimanded them and instructed them to do it by 15th December. However, that cost cannot be easily offset now on the microphone. view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we did not sign any contract. view
