• 22 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I was being tempted to go into Kiswahili since we know limitations. I also rise to support the Motion to censure the Hon. John Munyes, the CS for the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining and Hon. Charles Keter, CS for the Ministry of Energy. I also want to disclose that I am also a Member of the Committee on Energy and that we have dealt with this matter as it had been previously stated at length. In fact, most of this year we have been handling the rising cost of power and fuel. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am surprised at CS Hon. Keter who is normally quite cooperative. The response in his letter said that the matter was not in his docket as much as he was given the HANSARD and he had seen that Members had expressed issued that also touched on energy. For him to say that it was not part of his mandate, I found it quite out of his character. He has been quite cooperative in our Committee. The notorious one however is CS Hon. Munyes. We summoned him several times. We have even fined him where the ... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in Senate: It is also disheartening that these are former Senators of this House. I am informed that they were even once Members of the Committee on Energy. They know the issues that we are raising and the importance of fuel to this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, an increase in the price of fuel is the one thing that automatically guarantees the increase in the cost of living for Kenyans across board both at the low and higher levels. Therefore, when you increase the price of fuel without thinking, haphazardly and irregularly the way it is done then you are putting ... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in Senate: As this matter is going on, I wish that we would investigate Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC). If a commission of inquiry cannot be set up to investigate how a monopoly fell to bankruptcy. How a monopoly that provides a very essential product for Kenya has gone into bankruptcy.

If that is not possible, because a commission of inquiry has to get the goodwill of the executive, let us form an ad-hoc committee in this Senate that will investigate the issues that are associated with KPLC and its ... view

• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to debate The Disaster Risk Management Bill that is ably sponsored by the ever energetic Sen. Sakaja and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. They represent the future of this country. We wish them well because they are able to see ahead. I also want to congratulate you. It is the first time that I am seeing you on the seat as the Speaker. I have worked with you in all the Committees that we have been together. I know your capability and commitment to work. You will do a good job. Congratulations. view
