• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: You are supposed to be an experienced hon. Member. view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I responded to him. I said that I respect him for his age and would not answer whether or not we were ashamed. On the issue of the project, I said that I had noted the mistake. That was a very respectable answer. view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have assured hon. Members of Parliament that those contractors who are not performing will be dealt with. We gave them a deadline and by next week, in December, those who will not have completed their work will have no choice but to be blacklisted. view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, equity in distribution is something I can take care of. However, the matter concerning additional money is the mandate of this Parliament. It is only this House which can be kind enough to allocate us more money. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. November 22, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3827 (a) Yes, I am aware that the Ministry of Energy has not been issuing electricians' licences for the last two years. (b) The Electricity Regulatory Board (ERB) recently constituted a committee for licensing contractors under Section 115 of the Electric Power Act No.11 of 1997. This committee is expected to start issuing licences with effect from January, 2007. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we had to put our house in order. There were some electrical installation work rules that were supposed to be put in place. Because this is a sensitive area, we had to ensure that those who are training the electricians are doing it in accordance with the specifications of the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC). However, I also apologise for that delay. I am sure the hon. Member is now comfortable that it will be done. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a specific one that we are dealing with here. There are no complaints about all the others. There are classes of the various licences. The other licences are being issued to whoever fulfils the requirements. Therefore, the question should not arise. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that will be considered. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Energy has made sure that these people come for another test. They must be evaluated once again. This is because, obviously, there are some colleges that are not fulfilling the conditions set by the KPLC and the Ministry of Energy. So, it is always important for us to re-evaluate these people. However, those who want to get new licences, for example, to upgrade from "B" to "C" or "B" to "A", also have to be re-evaluated once again. We issue licences promptly if they pass the required tests. view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I respond, I would like to donate three minutes to Prof. Olweny and two minutes to Mr. Ahenda. view
