• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to respond to the concerns of Mr. John Sambu. He sought a Ministerial Statement on the charges that are demanded by Kenya Power Lighting and Company (KPLC) for connecting customers to transformers. The hon. Member requested for a Ministerial Statement on the amount of Kshs32,000 that is paid by rural consumers under the Umeme Pamoja Project.

• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: . Once a group submits its application form, KPLC prepares a quotation and advises the group on the required standards and uniform connection charge for each member.

Any other member's application for connection, subsequently, is effected once he pays the prescribed charges plus interest. view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of donor funded projects, I want to assure the Member that they do everything, and we pay everything back. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of CDF, it is true that in some areas, hon. Members have stated paying, at least, for connection and transformers. I want to assure you that we are only doing that where we have the Umeme Pamoja Project. Where we have the Umeme Pamoja Project, it ploughed back through reducing the amount that is charged by KPLC.

• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the French programme is a negotiated sum of money which the Government will pay back. We have the Spanish and French programmes and we will repay the money. So, it is only prudent that customers also pay for the same. view

That is because, according to my understanding, the amendment that has been moved is already going against the original amendment, that the Leader of Government Business and the leader of a party are nominating. What is not coming out clearly in Sub-Rule 4 is that any Member can challenge a nominee that has already been brought by the Leader of the Government Business or other party leaders. That is why it is not very clear. I would like to hear the intentions of the Mover. Does he intend to negate the first amendment ... view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to apologise because we received this Question in good time. But I would also like to seek the indulgence of the House to answer this Question next week. That is because I do not agree May 16, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1351 with the information that I have received, especially on the production of power from Gogo Falls on River Kuja. As a Ministry, we would like to give answers that are not questioned in future. view
