• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope I get more time for that. When you are in your house with your family and an attacker comes in, before you start looking at what the askari is doing, you have to protect yourself. The fabric of the society, as we all have said, has fallen. The values of Kenya have fallen. There was a time Kenya had status in this continent and also in the world. There was discipline. What we have heard about the stripping of women is lack of morality, a breakdown in the family unit and a ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: There was a case of two soldiers who were given life imprisonment for desertion of duty. These things should not be happening. When we were talking about Westgate, we saw army officers stealing. Why have they not been disciplined? They should have been punished. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before the red light goes on I demand that the devil worship report be brought to the House. view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before we start the discussion, may I propose perhaps due to the time we have and the numbers of hon. Members who wish to speak, that we are given three minutes in our contribution; between three and five minutes as the Temporary Deputy Speaker might find appropriate. So, I propose that we restrict our discussions to three minutes. view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Three minutes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I understand that the only person who can decide the order of speech is the Speaker and not those gentlemen up there. So, next time let us see how they can follow the procedure. For Kenya to achieve middle income status, it must increase the power availability. It must ensure stable power and ensure that power is cheap. At this present moment in time, Kenya has the highest cost of power in East and Central Africa and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: probably one of the top in Africa. Therefore, much of our industrialisation which is one of the pillars of our 2030 Vision is greatly jeopardised. However, this is an issue that we need to look into. The Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board was set up some years ago. They have been diligently working since 2010 to look at ways to get nuclear power. I agree with my colleagues that nuclear energy should not be reduced only to a small club of westerners. Iran, Pakistan and Libya have nuclear power. South Africa had nuclear power, but the moment the White regime left, ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: At this moment in time, I understand issues of climate change and renewal energy that my dear colleague, hon. Ottichilo has raised despite my colleague across the other side saying that hon. Ottichilo does not have the experience. I want to tell you that hon. Ottichilo has tremendous amount of experience in these things more than the other side. As much as that is the case, it is very clear that the problem we have is power. The problem that Kenya is facing is that no renewable power source has been identified or demonstrated that will have the capacity to ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I know that it has now been going up to nearly US$5 billion. When you do this, and that is what South Koreans have done, we will be joining a club with Slovakia in East Europe. Slovakia and Kenya are more or less in the same base. If we join that club, we are not going to get that power at least until 2022. The question that we have to ask is whether we have US$5 billion to invest between now and 2017. My answer to that is that we do not. Let us talk about facts. Unless somebody is ... view
