• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Energy, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that a total of Kshs10,345,000 was paid to the KPLC Limited by the Kangundo CDF Committee to supply electricity to the under-mentioned five projects in 2004/2005 financial year. However, this amount is far short of the estimated cost for the projects, which stands at Kshs40,875,000. The schemes are as follows:- For Matakutha Scheme, the estimated cost is Kshs1,770,933, while the amount paid was Kshs1.9 million. So, they paid more than what they were required. For Kamiti Scheme, the estimated cost ... view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the contracted figure was Kshs40 million and they paid only Kshs10 million. So, let us not mix the two constituencies of Mr. Munya and Mr. M. Maitha. The Constituency Development Committee (CDC) agreed with the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) on the amount to pay, but the former has paid only a quarter of that amount. I have said that construction has started in the first scheme where there was an overpayment. On the second scheme, although they paid only Kshs3 million against Kshs12 million, the KPLC has agreed to process and deal with it. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Acting Minister for Energy has promised in this House that both the KPLC and the private contractors are doing all they can to ensure that all the contracts that have been signed are processed. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the first place, I would like to advise my colleague to have a smart committee which is not misled by the KPLC. I think that is very important so that it is not bluffed and just follow. Secondly, I have said that the two projects are under process. I am sure they must be the ones whose materials have been delivered. I cannot say that work has been abandoned. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the message may have reached the Clerk's office at 9.05 a.m., but I had already, at 8.30 a.m. got information from the Minister; that he is presiding over a function right now while one of his Assistant Ministers is abroad and the other one is unwell in Laikipia. So, he asked that we get this Question deferred until next week. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure you have witnessed me answering Questions from various Ministries, provided the answers are satisfactory. I normally have the answers in my office. When I go through and I find it is totally unsatisfactory, I would need the substantive Minister to come and deal with it. In many cases, I seek your indulgence. I understand the frustration of hon. Members but we are in the process of streamlining. This happens only occasionally. So, for my colleague, Mr. Raila, it is not a tired Government. It is a Government that is working. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister wrote to your office stating that he will not be available. He requested that this Question be deferred until next week. There was confirmation on the same issue. view
• 18 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will convey the requirement view
