• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is a big difference between "the capital city of Kenya" and "any place gazetted by the Minister". The capital city of Kenya can be moved at any time from here to Garissa depending on what the country wants. But the Minister can also gazette a place where the headquarters of a particular sector is to be. That is what I am proposing. We should not define it in the Act. That means that it will never be moved unless we bring an amendment to the House! view

• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wanted to propose an amendment to Clause 102, but I have to withdraw it now. It was in connection with the amendment I had proposed to Clause 5, which was defeated by the Government. It is, therefore, of no consequence now. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 103 (2) be amended by inserting the following new paragraphs immediately after paragraph (e)- "(f) promoting co-generation of electric power by sugar millers and sale of such electric power through the national grid directly to the consumers" (g) promoting the production and use of gasohol and biodiesel" view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I had adequately explained earlier, but I will repeat. Sugar millers have enough capacity to produce electricity to supply to the national grid. That will give us additional electricity. It is as simple as that. That will give us additional income. It will diversify the sugar industry. We also have ethanol which can lower the cost of fuel. view

• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: That is what I am doing. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: It has just been dropped. view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I wish to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, in view of the fact that sugar mills in this country have the capacity to co-generate electricity in excess of their requirements, and that the excess energy generated is currently going to waste, this House do grant leave to introduce a Bill to amend the Electric Power Act and the Electric Power Supply Lines Act to allow the mills to sell the excess electricity they generate to the national grid or directly to other consumers. view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Roads and Public Works:- (a) whether he is aware that the Kisumu-Miwani Road (C34) is badly damaged; and, (b) what he is doing to have the road properly repaired instead of having the damaged sections filled with murram as has been previously done. view
