Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is no need to because the matter that has not even been responded to.

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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 Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA)the status of compensation to Master Simon Mwema for injuries sustained...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) I just wanted to give the Member confidence. Can we have one month?

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) Usually, the process of connecting a generator…

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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 most important thing is that the generator is already on site and the Hon. Member can confirm.

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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, who has been really active in this particular matter to ensure that a...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) 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...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) Firstly, I invite Members, starting with Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah and the rest, to begin preparing to host the games next year. Secondly, regarding staff participation in these games, I sit in the East African Joint Parliamentary Committee. The idea was not to exclude staff in...

Hon. Vincent Musau (Mwala, UDA) We have scenarios where the awards are given out while the games are continuing. We need ample time to participate in the games to get the most out of them. This can only happen if we get a proper budget allocation. I seek this House's...
