MUSAU, VINCENT MUSYOKA

Hon. Temporary Speaker, if you allow me, I have the answer to this Question. I can give the response. The response from the Ministry will just be procedural because I have had a discussion with the Ministry as well as the Kenya Power and Lightning Company (KPLC) on the same...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. For the comfort of the Member, the Motion I am moving is to adopt the Report of the Departmental Committee on Energy. We can only adopt it once it has been tabled, which was done last week. Chairperson, prepare to conclude. The Committee further recommends...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I address some of the concerns by Members, I also appreciate their contributions which will 3rd December 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 73 definitely enrich our Report. I have heard their concerns, which is the reason we were doing this inquiry in the first place....

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Departmental Committee on Energy on the inquiry into the matter of the reduction of electricity costs in the country. Are you done? Yes, I am done, Hon. Speaker. This is not an election petition... (Hon....

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Energy on the inquiry into the matter of the reduction of electricity costs in the country, laid on the Table of the House on Monday, 25th November 2024,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is clearly what we call a cat walk story. I have not been told anything new. The Ministry is basically repeating the preliminary information that I had given them. Mr. Mutilangi has a family in Kenya. He was not married and that complicates the situation. There...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am not very good in legal matters. I want to know whether Kenyan citizens living in the US, must seek for justice there. You have said that the only way out for this family is to seek justice in the US when they cannot...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I said, I am not an expert but I am seeking justice for this family. This is not a civil matter but a potential murder case. I think we are taking it so lightly and even talking of a will that can also be...

In the past, the Hon. Speaker ruled that any Chairperson presenting any matter here must first satisfy themselves it represents the truth. He is responding to this as the Cabinet Secretary and there is nothing in this Statement. There seems to be so much they do not know. No investigations...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Things change so fast. I am in the frying pan. Hon. Makali Mulu requested for a Statement regarding 20th November 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 8 the status of compensation to Master Simon Mwema for injuries sustained following electrocution from Kenya Power lines. The response we...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is not a small matter. It might even form an enquiry. What we want to know is, if a claim like this one cannot be paid, then what other claims have not been paid. How much money has been paid? I request that we be given...

Thank you. I just had a conversation with the CEO of KPLC. He says that Kenya Power has an insurance in place for cases like electrocution. Every case is submitted to insurance. However, I will give a full response within the next one week.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Currently, we use refined oil. However, we also know that we have been making a lot of progress with the Turkana Oil. So, we are going to have our own crude oil. Again, regulation does not necessarily mean we are using crude oil ourselves. We...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This is a further amendment to Section 169 (2) . Instead of the phrase forfeited to the State, I wish to move a further amendment that:That the court may order forfeiture of any vessel used to convey vandalised, or stolen equipment or appliances referred to...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to present a public petition on the gazettement of Mwala and Kalama sub-counties of Machakos County as hardship areas. I, the undersigned, on behalf of Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) Machakos Branch, represented by Mr Musembi Kutuku and Mr Ibrahim Ngunga of P.O....

Usually, the process of connecting a generator… I thought it is off-grid that is why you have a generator. Which grid are you connecting to? It is off-grid within a system of off-grid generators so it is not the only one. So, there is a set of generators. But the...

Hon. Speaker, considering I am an electrical engineer and a First Class Engineer, I just wanted you to understand that there is a system of generators connected together. Therefore, off-grid does not mean it is one generator. It is being connected to a system of off-grid generators and the statement...

Yes. You should be specific because if it was on-grid, you would have no purpose taking generators there. Correct. We expect it to be energised today. I also thank the Hon. Member for the energy, the ministry which has hastened things as well as the Principal Secretary, Mr. Alex Wachira,...

Hon. Speaker, the process of transportation of this generator did not start last week. It was an ongoing process and the Hon. Member will tell you that this particular generator was transported by sea by a private contractor whose procurement could not have been possible within one week. What we...

Hon. Speaker, I am equal to this task and my statement has remained clear. The statement I brought before this House was that the challenge of transporting this generator firstly, can be attributed to impassable roads which up to date still remain impassable and therefore difficult to deliver by road....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your direction. I just want to point out that your orders have been implemented. The Statement by the Member did not refer to a new generator. It referred to restoration of power which was occasioned by a faulty generator which has since been repaired. As...

Most obliged, Hon. Speaker

Yes, I am ready, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Member for Ijara as well as the Nominated Member, Hon. Umulkher Harun sought Statements. Since the requests were similar, we merged the responses. Following the letter dated 8th May 2024, referenced NS to DDC/ Energy/ COR/2024/019, the National Assembly requested the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The last part of my Statement read that the construction by KETRACO of the Garsen-Hola line is going to stabilise 31st July 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 10 the connection. However, if the Member can appear before the Committee when the Minister is present, he can ask...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I agree that this response did not focus on Garissa County but specifically Ijara Constituency. When you started, you said that you are responding to both Statements as requested by the two Members. Yes, Hon. Speaker. The assumption was that since the Member for Garissa County...

Hon. Speaker, following a letter dated 11th June 2024, referenced NA/DDC/ENERGY/COR/2024/035, the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Energy requested the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Energy and Petroleum to make submissions on a Statement Request by the Member for Lamu East, Hon. Ruweida Obo. Hon. Speaker, the Ministry has responded to...

Oh, my goodness. Hasira hasara. (Laughter) She is representing her people. Yes, it is true, and I feel her pain, Hon. Speaker. The Minister had undertaken that commissioning works for the new generator would be complete by 30th June 2024. Obviously, that has not come to be. That is already...

Until...

Hon. Speaker, the thinking around this is that there is a criminal element to the Statement. I am wondering how the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs is going to handle the criminal element. Okay. Have your day with the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security. Do not come...

Thank you Hon. Speaker. I am well guided.
