• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Eng. Rege is asking for alternative ways of raising the tariffs. However, I am not aware of alternative ways of raising the tariffs. view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are five categories of electricity tariffs. One is for domestic consumers, which is not changed significantly. The other categories are small commercial, the commercial industrial, the interruptible IP and street lighting. So, there are different segments of tariff increases. There is a mechanism whereby small consumers are protected. Maybe, it is good for people to know that also Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) staff houses used to get preferential treatment. That has now been abolished under this new tariff regime. view
• 10 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that it affects them. However, I just wanted to clarify that there are five different categories of consumers. The 21 per cent increase is not applicable across the board. This is the maximum increase. But I agree with the hon. Member that an increase in the cost of electricity at any level will affect everybody in this country. view

• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you know, the Authority is quite new. In fact, the list of staff that we have given does not include all the members of staff because not all of them have reported. They are in the process of reporting. This is the initial complement of the Authority. We will, in the Ministry, try our best to make sure that the Authority has enough personnel to cover all the constituencies as the hon. Member as asked. view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence. That is a different Question! view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the complement for the Authority, as has been established, is that we do not intend to do all the work ourselves. We intend to look for contractors and out source some of the services. So, I will not be able to confirm the ideal number because the current establishment has been based on what the Authority can afford to pay now. We are going to use local contractors to do the work. We will not have officers in every constituency. view
