• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can answer that question. The issue is about the penalties. This concession was signed in 1999 by the then Minister for Energy Mr. Raila Odinga and the Government of Nigeria. It was between the Government of Kenya and the Government of Nigeria. The issue of lifting is about the capability of whoever wins the tender. 2656 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 19, 2007 view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Electricity supply to Enkaroni Market has already been approved for implementation at a cost of Kshs9.7 million. The project is currently at the tendering stage, and the construction work is scheduled for completion by December, 2007. However, electricity supply to the remaining areas will be considered along with others for funding during the next two financial years. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the promise was made. He also admits that the surveyors and designers went there and carried out their work. What is now left is implementation. One of the projects is already on-going. We are going to implement the remaining projects. view
• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish the hon. Member could make it back to the next Parliament. However, I want to inform the House that we shall do, at least, half of those projects in the current financial year. The other half will be considered in the next financial year, because this Government will still be in place. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Government of Kenya has an allocation of 30,000 barrels of Nigerian crude oil per day, pursuant to an arrangement dated 1st October, 2006, which is due to expire on 1st October, 2007, and is subject to renewal. The actual oil barrels received under this arrangement are, however, dependent on availability, and always subject to monthly nominations by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. (b) Lifting contracts were awarded to two companies in the last three years and the total commission revenues from each of these companies during the financial years are as ... view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question of concession will not arise at this particular moment. The answer I have given gives the actual amounts. However, the arrangement between Kenya and Nigeria is such that there is always a middle person who conducts this business on behalf of the Kenyan Government. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what happens is that we are given 30,000 barrels per day. If Kenya can lift that oil and refine it in our refineries for our use, then we can go ahead and do that. However, our refineries cannot meet the requirements for processing the Nigerian crude oil. So, instead of the Kenyan Government losing that facility, it calls for tenders and tenders the facility to agents to lift the oil on its behalf. Then we get a commission, as a Government, from whoever wins the tender. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the refinery was almost closing down, and I remember that two years ago hon. Members were up in arms asking the Government not to close it down, because people would lose their employment. What the Government is doing is rehabilitating the refinery. The reconstruction is under-way and we are in the process of tendering out to the relevant, for example, consultants. We shall then tender it out for actual rehabilitation. We are hoping that in the next few years, the refinery will be able to refine crude oil from Nigeria and Sudan. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the shouting there--- From the response coming from the other side of the House, you can know that there is an intention--- view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I note that hon. Members do not shout and that is why I corrected myself very fast. However, I want to explain as follows: The calculations given by Mr. M'Mukindia are correct, but they are based on the premise that Kenya gets the 30,000 barrels for free. What Kenya is supposed to do is enjoy a special rate, not even US$70 per barrel as it is in the market today. We are given a special rate, so that we can lift--- view
