Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee also visited Kenya Pipeline Company Limited; Fuel Refinery Limited in Kipevu Oil Terminal in Mombasa County. During the visit, the Committee toured the Kipevu Oil Terminus to a new facility that allows four ships to dock at the same time when unloading petroleum products. This reduces the cost associated with the demurrage. The Committee also toured the old refinery site in Changamwe. This refinery ceased its operation in 2012 and it is currently leased to Kenya Pipeline Company for storage. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee has also met with the officials of Electricity Consumers Society ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I arise to support this Motion. In global governance, transparency or a perception that there is a lack of transparency and accountability has made many donors shy away from investing in many countries. The spirit of having CSs come to the House is informed by the readiness of the Presidency to show the outside world that we are prepared to be not only accountable and transparent, but most importantly, to showcase what they want to do for the country.

I have listened to my fellow colleagues contribute and quote the Constitution. We promulgated the Constitution to better the lives of Kenyans. It takes time to change the Constitution. It takes a step to cover a journey of thousand miles. It is the beginning of governance that is open and has nothing to hide.

From a pessimistic approach, we may assume that they are coming here to answer questions. There could be no questions to answer because we still have Committees that are sector-specific, that have time to explore specific sector questions. As such, we may not have time in the House. However, explaining the policy direction of the ...

Therefore, there is no better opportunity than to have CSs come to the Floor of the House and what they intend to do on some of the issues that they are implementing. For the last 60 years, we have been running in the wrong track and direction. It is in the wisdom of the President that he said that we must have an accountable, transparent Government that is prepared to explain to it what they are doing. In his effort to make CSs responsible for their acts, he saw it wise to make them and request us as Parliament to ...
