• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: it. It did not mean that since technology had overtaken the facility, it should be sold for a song. When the facility closed its doors on 4th September, 2013, it was refining crude oil for the Kenyan market. Oil is an important product and it can bring governments down. This is the case and yet we let the institution down. As colleagues have said, there was a share-agreement. This agreement was skewed in favour of this company purportedly registered in Mauritius. It gave some exit clauses allowing them to just get out at will. If you look at the 13 ... view
• 26 May 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support what the chairman has said because national security is very paramount. What the Senate was going to propose was actually going to expose this country in very bad light and its security installations, gadgets and equipment. So, I support. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I had actually presented this amendment to the Committee.

The PAP should look into this issue and see how we can resolve the situation with a view to assisting that young nation of Africa to get together and move forward. view

A number of countries, like Kenya, Uganda and others, have struck oil. view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, on the issue of exports from Africa, I have in mind exports like flowers from our country. The PAP should articulate it so that our exports, especially flowers, can have an easy access to the European market. view
