• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Regarding the equitable connectivity of electricity, we appreciate that we need to work closely to attain equitable electricity connectivity. For example, if you are in Nairobi City as a Senator, Nairobi City would be to a good extent covered if you are looking at public institutions because of the development status. If you are in Sen. Chute’s County of Marsabit, we will appreciate that it could be much down. However, like I said earlier before the Senator came into the House, we will work together. In due course, I will give to all Members comprehensive schedules of all the public ... view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: So, in terms of equitability, it is an historical issue. There is no reason why today we do not take every county close to parity as it is challenging based on how we live. If we live migratory lives, then we will need to provide electricity today and so on and so forth. However, we will work together in terms of working with those schedules. view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: The Rural Electricity and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) does maximization. When we provide a transformer, we want to utilize it 100 per cent. If a transformer can cover 100 people, there is no reason it should only connect a primary school and two customers. We should ensure that that expensive asset connects all the communities around that area and then map their access to ensure that we take our country close to 100 per cent. view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Sen. Okenyuri, asante. On reporting on the public resources, I indicated that we have an audit report. When you get an opportunity to visit some of our investments in power and petroleum, the measurement aspects or the systems which have been built to measure the product are so elaborate. We do our part as public trustees to make sure that none of our product is taken out without proper documentation and measurements. More importantly, we should subject ourselves to this House for the work you do in terms of confirming that we are doing the right thing. view

• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Again, as we bring the field development report, these are the production facilities that will be built into the investment to ensure that we can measure the whole product and confirm profitability. Suppose more of our product is taken out at the right or wrong price, it could turn out that the commerciality of our oil fields my not be determined. Therefore, we can kill a project which is otherwise profitable. Mr. Deputy Speaker, I want to confirm that we will continue to be subject to this House in terms of being accountable and ensuring that we build systems that ... view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will take them very quickly. Sen. Abass from Wajir, on exploration, when we do a production sharing contract with a company which is prospecting in a block, there are very clear deliverables, including drilling one or two exploration wells, to establish the secondary resource after doing the service studies. These are magnetic or different scientific ways of establishing presence of a resource. Thereafter, you will go to appraisal wells and commercial wells; you just do not drill. This is because to drill one well can cost up to USD5 million. In the production ... view

• 24 May 2023 in Senate: to sort out that challenge. The same problem is obtained in Marsabit and we are addressing that. Sen. Gataya Mo Fire, for Tharaka, I indicated that we are comprehensively looking at how to quickly bring equitable power delivery to the people. I will need to do more work for Tharaka Northern Chuka Area. More importantly, we have a fairly segmented energy sector. One which generates, one which transmits and one which off takes and distributes power to the people. That is the Kenya Power Company. So, with this fairly good vertical integration, we know the responsibility of transmission is with ... view
