• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a ) The frequent power black-outs in Marsabit have been caused by a breakdown of one of the generators. The same is undergoing repairs and is expected to be functional by the end of this week. (b) To provide a permanent solution, arrangements are underway to enhance the installed capacity through procurement of a 400KW diesel generator, which has been procured and it is in Mombasa. In addition, a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is also being negotiated with an independent power producer for installation of a 500KW wind turbine. view

• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my colleague is aware that the first major wind energy station is being built at Loyangalani in Marsabit. Once that station is in place, which is being done by private power producers, then we can see how to distribute the power to the region. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that two months is too long for any place to get electricity black-outs. However, I sincerely apologize to the people of Marsabit. I will ensure that by the end of this week, the old generator will be repaired and, in the next one week or so, we will have the new generator in place. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that the independent power producer is now in the process of getting funding for the station. Of course, that will include many things. The station is served by power lines and sub-stations, but this is in progress. We have agreed with the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) on the tariff management. That is a project that the hon. Member has been waiting for, for a long time. I want to assure him that the project is on course and we will proceed in due course. view

• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. There is already a customer service centre in Kitui, which is largely used as an operation depot for emergency services and, to a limited extent, for other customer services. The facility, however, has recently been upgraded to a branch and has a business head and a customer officer, who have been posted there. The sub-regional head office in Thika also gives the requisite support to the branch business head in Kitui, thus enhancing the services rendered. It is, however, acknowledged that the office is currently not conveniently located and efforts are being ... view
• 28 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree that the service is provided from Thika, and the greater part of Ukambani is very far from the service centres. The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has realized this and they are now trying to establish an office in Kitui. All efforts will be made to ensure that the office becomes operational as soon as possible. view
