• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate Mr. Omingo for presiding over the Committee during that time and for doing a thorough job. This resulted in the Committee report that is before the House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, PAC reports are factual. They relate to an analysis of expenditure and events that have happened. When PAC reports are brought here, one of the critical lessons we have to learn from them is to ensure that the flaws that led to ... view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: You should continue! view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, Question Time ends at 3.30 p.m. Mrs. Mugo has taken steps and called the Minister. He is on the way coming. I want to seek your indulgence to give him a few minutes, so that he gets here to deal with the matter. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge my colleague from Kaiti to exercise patience. It is unlike him to order me to sit down because he never misconducts himself. We have the Energy Bill that we were debating yesterday. We can take the next 25 minutes on the Energy Bill and then start debating the Appropriation Bill at 3.30; that will be better. In fact, when we rose yesterday--- November 22, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3869 view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: There the Minister comes. Otherwise, I was ready to contribute to the Energy Bill. I thank you for your indulgence. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to contribute to the Energy Bill. This Bill is critical for the development of the energy sector in this country. We have heard hon. Members complain in this House about the run-away petroleum prices in the country. Many hon. Members have contributed to this Bill and urged the Government to regulate petroleum prices because of cartels and profiteers. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my view, I believe that we will be going the wrong route if we go back to the days of price controls. The country and wisely so, set up the National Oil Corporation of Kenya (NOCK). From the time the NOCK was set up, its mandate was to stabilise oil prices whenever they run amok. Its mandate was also to compete with the major oil companies and run oil business all over the country. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Prof. Olweny. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was proposing that a way be found on how to strengthen the NOCK, make it competitive and make it to routinely and regularly respond to changing oil prices, so that it becomes a viable alternative to the profiteering multinationals that have got very little feelings about Kenyans. If we did that, it is better than going to the dark days of the Government fixing prices of consumer goods in a liberalised world. That will not be the right thing to do. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Departmental Committee on ... view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: If it is a World Bank requirement, a few minutes ago you heard what hon. Nyachae told us about the treatment we get from them. If you want a project from the World Bank, you have to do pre-feasibility, feasibility, evaluation, procurement--- By the time you get to the genesis of the project, three or four years later, they turn round and say you have no absorption capacity, you are inefficient, you have no man-power. It is all born out of their own inefficiency. I think it is time we made it very clear as a country and as a ... view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Minister because many times when we debate here, Ministers take notes but when we go to the Committee Stage, they do not introduce the proposals that hon. Members raise on the Floor of the House. This Minister has responded to each of the proposals that we made during the debate to the Bill. Now that we are passing this Bill, we want to see research being given the place it deserves in the development of this country. With those few remarks, I beg to support view
