• 6 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think there is a word that the Assistant Minister is missing. There is a word "or". We are not saying "decrease". We are saying "increase or decrease". view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Motion be amended by deleting the words "Cashew Nut Development Bill" and inserting in place thereof the words; "The Kenya Nuts Development Authority Bill." I brought up this amendment to the Motion to embrace all the key crops which supplement cashew nuts. The market for nuts and developing the market is centred around blending, such that one can have roasted cashew nuts blended with peanuts as well as macadamia nuts. With this amendment, we will not only focus on the policy of the proposed authority, but also on developing ... view

• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) whether he is aware that Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has a total monopoly over the importation, sale and installation of electricity transformers in the country, contrary to the provisions of Monopolies, Price Control and Restrictive Trade Practices Act; 1726 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 29, 2006 (b) whether he is further aware that due to the monopoly, electricity consumers are compelled to pay prohibitive and un-economic charges for transformers and electricity connection to their domestic and commercial premises; and, (c) what steps he is taking to liberalise the trade in electricity transformers and their ... view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like you to give some guidance on this issue. The Assistant Minister has completely avoided answering the Question and, where he has attempted, he has totally misled the House. We all know that KPLC imports all the transformers into this country, either directly or through its agents. The transformers are used by KPLC only. Secondly, the Electricity Regulatory Board only sets the price of power. This Question was about transformers and not the cost of power. Thirdly--- view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the record, for the last three years, KPLC has been violating the Public Audit Act, 2003 and Exchequer and Audit Act, Cap.412 by deliberately failing to submit their audited accounts to their parent Ministry for onward tabling in Parliament. The answer the Assistant Minister has given is a typical example of directly avoiding to give accurate information to this House. I beg that this Question be deferred, so that the Assistant Minister can make comprehensive consultations before he comes--- June 29, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1727 view

• 7 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the importance of devolution cannot be over emphasized. All hon. Members of this august House will recall during the deliberations at Bomas, one of the extremely sensitive issues was that of devolution of power. The interest and anxiety that was expressed as we debated that particular issue is a reflection of the importance of devolution to the Kenyan people. I want to report to this House that since the districts that the hon. Ojaamong wished to regularise were created, there has been significant improvement of security in those areas. This is because of the presence ... view
• 7 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: The issue of viability has been mentioned from time to time with respect to the creation of districts. I need to emphasise here that districts are not created for profit-making. They are not business enterprises. So, economic viability is not necessarily the primary consideration. There are other issues that need to be considered. Equitable distribution of resources, improved security, improved feeling of belonging to this nation which ultimately leads to improved security are some of the considerations that one cannot ignore. They are the primary reasons for the creation of districts. In that light, it was mentioned that some of ... view
• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Constitution is very clear on this matter. Permanent Secretaries only delegate authority--- view
