• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to inform the hon. Member and the House that out of the six CVs I can only lay on the Table four of them. So, if we are given--- view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need, maybe two days to get the CVs. However, we are complying with what the House says. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, until Tuesday, next week is enough time. view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Following a successful completion of the review of its network cost study, the CCK, pursuant to its mandate as stipulated in law, issued determination number two on interconnection rates for fixed and mobile networks, infrastructure sharing and call location and broadband interconnection. The determination which was effective from 1st July 2010 prescribed the applicable interconnection rates summarized in the following table. The table indicates that the mobile determination is supposed to reduce progressively, so that by the year 2013 we have 0.99 cents, and eventually we will not have to regulate. It is ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need your protection! The consultations are very loud and I have to shout! view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, (b) As indicated in “a” above, the implementation of the stipulated rates has already commenced. The Ministry of Information and Communications is confident that the Commission, guided by its mandate under the law, will continue ensuring that determination is fully implemented for the benefit of consumers and Kenya’s economy at large. view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is very clear that members of the public would feel different because they are enjoying rates which are lower than the ones which are official. I thought that we wanted to have lower rates and not just to follow determination. The determination is standard; it is provided for; it can be reverted back to; it is the maximum, but if people are enjoying lower rates, we should just allow them to continue enjoying lower rates. That is basically what we have done. view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just a few months ago, the interconnection rates were very high. Right now, due to the research that has been done and the determination too, interconnection rates have been lowered drastically to Kshs2.2, down from anything between Kshs7 and Kshs12. That was just recently. Since there are contracts between operators and they have signed them, then they are bound by these rates. If they were to charge anything higher than these rates, then they would be held responsible by the CCK. The beginning of interconnection rate is now; it has already taken effect. We should now be ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. In doing so, I would like to congratulate Members for the work they did in making sure that the Referendum went on very well. We also had a very good promulgation programme. Difficulties were there, but it was a success. Notwithstanding all those difficulties, the Members were concerned today about SMSs which have brought a lot of fear among our Kenyan public. I just want to state that the public should ignore those messages that they got today. We have analyzed and found that those numbers ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: ignore that completely. I would like to state that people who are forwarding messages to their loved ones and their friends should now cease that activity. There should be no more forwarding of such messages because forwarding creates more panic. We are using Interpol and any law enforcement agency, international and local, to trace these perpetrators. I want to assure the House that by tomorrow, we will have a report from our operators and anyone else who may have information. view
