• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once the fuel comes into the custody of Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), the duties are paid upfront. Fe bruary 3, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not misleading the House. If the hon. Member has any evidence that duties were actually not paid, then let him table that evidence. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we speak now, the banking sector has not lost confidence in the collateral financing arrangement with KPC. We are praying that they should not. We are talking to them to assure them that, that was an incident and not a practice. It was an incident which was committed once and it would never be repeated again. As it is, many other companies are still enjoying the collateral financing arrangement with the banks and the system has not been interfered with. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a different Question altogether--- view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even if it is not a different Question, I could not have known that the Customs Department, which carries out its normal duties, would have to give its documents on every payment that is made by its customers. It is, therefore, a different matter. The Customs Department handles oil every day and there are many issues of payments. So, I do not have that document. But if the hon. Member wants it, it can be produced. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware that the Managing Director of KPC was sacked. What I am aware of is that he was sent on forced leave pending investigations into the scam. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the discretion of employment, or extension of the term, is within the powers of the Minister for Energy. Therefore, there is nothing illegal about that extension. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot tell you the value of the assets because they have just been seized and the process of valuation is about to begin. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, within the Government Budget, we do not have the capacity to extend that line. That is why we sought assistance from a consortium of banks to help us extend that pipeline. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: As it usually happens, when there are queries particularly about a lender, banks, sometimes, try to make a review of their positions. Therefore, the banks that had committed are still making a review of the ability of KPC to service the debts which they want to extend to us. We are persuading them that KPC is not affected and it will be able to service the debts. view
