• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to take this opportunity to thank hon. Members who overwhelmingly supported this Bill. Out of the 16 or so hon. Members who spoke, there was no dissenting voice. This Bill has received overwhelming support and, so, I do not have much to say in response. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we set out to put forward, in this Bill, a proposal to create regulatory, advisory and district resolution bodies to support the implementation of the National Information and Communications Technology (ICT) policy. We also provided a regulatory framework for broadcasting which, hitherto, ... view
• 25 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to give the following Ministerial Statement. The Government is aware of the matter of frequency interference to mobile communication services around Naivasha in the last two weeks or thereabouts. The Government has identified the cause of the problem and taken adequate remedial action to solve it. It is as a result of this that one of the affected service providers, MS. Safaricom Limited, put a public notice to this effect in one of the local newspapers on the 18th November, 2008, advising their customers that the problem had 3534 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 25,2008 been solved. ... view
• 25 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, because you gave me only ten minutes, I will try and do this as briefly as I can--- view
• 25 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I said in my statement that it was not by mistake nor deliberate. In other words, after the CCK had actually given out a notice and made everybody aware of the situation, we were not at liberty, at that particular time, to give the details. That is because what was happening around Naivasha was that, there was some jamming equipment which were being tested. So, it had to interfere with the mobile service networks. That is the purpose of jamming! When we have a new tool and we want to find its strength, you ... view
• 25 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: With all due respect, Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not going to be a question and answer session! In fact, he is supposed to seek clarification only! But now, it is becoming a question and answer session. I can give him what I have here because of the time constraint that you have given me. view

• 16 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, the Minister is aware. Following the conclusion of the privatization exercise of Telkom Kenya Limited, France Telkom emerged the winner for the majority stake with a bid of Kshs26 billion. The Kenya Government holds 49 per cent of Telkom in compliance with the Sector Policy Guidelines which have set the threshold at 20 per cent for local equity participation. Similarly, the shareholding of the Kenya Government has reduced in Safaricom with the recent Initial Public Offer (IPO). It should, however, be noted that the IPO enabled Kenyans to participate in ... view
• 16 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that the best practice in the House is to ask one question at a time, and also not to personalise these things. It is not Poghisio or anybody else; it is the Government. So, if the hon. Member is looking for a Minister to believe, that is really something he can do. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying that most crimes today are going to be high-tech and technology based. You cannot, therefore, solve it by reducing any equity. You have to co-ordinate with the rest of the world to solve this matter. ... view
