• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, transformers are public utilities. They are owed by the public. I do not think we all need the police to safeguard the safety of transformers. The public must have a culture change so that they do not vandalize their own things. However, I said that we try to secure these transformers by putting them in compounds of institutions. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a different question. I will answer it when it is put accordingly. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not given that answer. The numbers are not part of the answer. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I go back to my answer, I said that we are pursuing the introduction of non-oil cool transformers. That does not mean that we have already bought them. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second Vote 14 of Ministry of Transport. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the enabling role this Ministry plays in the economic development of this country cannot be understated. The transport sector contributes greatly to the economy of this country and it is important that it is funded properly. The various modes of transport which include aviation, road, rail, maritime, Indian waters and non-motorised transport are really playing a great role in the economy of this country. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: As regard rails, we are aware that the Kenya Railways Corporation has been unable to perform properly. We are happy that the Ministry went out to concession the railways operation. But unfortunately, that did not work. We would like to urge the Ministry to re-negotiate the concession, so that it is put back on track and investment is put in place. We also urge the Ministry to go ahead and put the standard gauge rail which is funded by the Government and donors. That should be taken seriously because without railway we cannot transport our goods properly. As of now, ... view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I welcome the opening of the Lamu Corridor. But the northern corridor which has got the Port of Mombasa and serves countries which are landlocked such as Uganda, DRC, and Rwanda must be taken full advantage of. The Port of Mombasa must be properly modernized, so that it can take its position within the region. Otherwise, you might lose transport activities to central corridor which uses the Port of Dar-es-Salaam. Whereas, the Lamu Port will take sometime to be operationalised, the Port of Mombasa is existing. If we dredge it, we will allow bigger ships ... view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: I am happy the Ministry is talking about development of a free port, that is Mombasa Port. This should be hastened. The taskforce that is in place should come up with its recommendations quickly. I think there is some resistance to commercialisation because people think it will take people out of job. The Port of Mombasa will actually create more jobs if it is properly modernised. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, urban transport in Kenya is a nightmare. Movement within the City is a problem. The Ministry talks about putting in place rapid bus stop system. This has been talked about for a long time and the sooner it is operationalised, the better. I think we have too many small vehicles on our roads. If our buses are limited to 60 plus capacity, then Nissan matatus can be taken off the road. In the meantime, if we have had “Michuki Rules”, we need now to have “ Amos KimunyaRules ”, so that we can actually rationalise ... view
