• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not saying that taxpayers’ money is wasted. I will not encourage that but this cost must be paid for because the cost of installing power in that place is the figure we gave. So, it must be paid for. view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply- (a) Electricity to Kibagenge Primary School of Marigat District has stalled because of the delay in granting the way-leave for the project by the Kenya Forest Service. (b) The issue of way-leave is being addressed by both the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) and the Kenya Forest Service. It is expected the project will be completed by 31st January, 2011. view

• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry of Energy is keen to exploit alternative sources of energy, including wind. The Ministry produced a National Wind Atlas in 2001 with indicative wind regimes. Consequently, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and other partners, this Atlas was improved with use of the existing data, satellite and ground validation, which saw the production of high resolution solar and wind energy resource Atlas. This Atlas was launched in May, 2008, and it provides reliable high resolution resource information for planners, policy makers and investors in solar ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, wind projects are being undertaken. There is a major project which is being undertaken in Marsabit at the bottom of Lake Turkana. This is expected to generate about 300 megawatts. Plans are underway for investors to develop wind energy. The Government is also looking at ways and means of transmitting power all the way to Suswa. Of course, there are other wind energy projects, which have been commissioned in Ngong. Others are also being looked at by investors, where we think there is great potential. view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am talking of funding for more investigations. In fact, we have started investigations in 53 sites.

These covers the whole country, including areas where we think wind potential is low, so that we can ascertain whether with technology we would be able to exploit. So, we are on course. First of all, we need to ascertain ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that we carried a wind atlas preparation in 2001. We updated it in 2008. The wind atlas is available here. It is also on our website. We have one which shows an annual wind mill speeds in various parts of the country at 50 metres high above ground level. It shows the wind speed in various parts of the country; a very advanced high resolution map. We have also another map which shows simulated annual wind power density, which again shows the whole country. So, there is nothing strange about this. I will ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence. I would request the Member to put up a Question, so that we can answer it appropriately. This is a different Question, all together. view
