love this story of Wahome - Central Leaders working so hard for their people... wamatangi, wamatinga...amazing!!!!

Wamatinga opening remarks is excellent. His grasp of issues is refreshing

Kenya is NOT a country, it's a crime scene.

I didn't know this guy well. But now, I believe we need people like this to run this country.

He fits the bill of being a senator, very knowledgeable and eloquent.

An intelligent guy.......articulate. I love his grasp of issues. Wueh

Woow very insightful conversation with Hon Wamatinga.

5 minutes in,and I simply like the eloquence and charisma 😊

I chatted with him in nyeri golf club and he was insistent that the problem with senate is that they have no teeth to check on spending by governors. I was impressed with his honesty.

I never knew my senator was that eloquent ,actually he nailed it 🔥

Kudos Hon.Wamatinga the kind of brains kenya need,development conscious minds for the benefit of all Kenyans.

Kudos Erick. You have hit the bull's eye with thoughtful questions, what a mind. This is what will change and move kenya forward.

Getting power in this country is becoming a nightmare. Which cartels yet your own people are asking for bribe from the office?????

I was in Ethiopia and I could not believe how electricity was so cheap that the women who cook tea and mandazi on the streets use electricitric jikos in Addis Ababa. I traveled all the way to Tigray and Amhara regions and all homesteads in the rural towns used electric coils to cook. The reason is that power generation and distribution is done by the state as a service e and not business to make exploitative profits as is in kenya. Something is seriously wrong g in kenya that needs to be dismantled.

When you start a project with the intention of uplifting a community even the gods come to help you. congratulations Wahome wamatinga

Wamatinga I am Azimio and never used to like you going by some of you past utterance. However today I gave you a standing ovation. You are a very eloquent and very smart man upstairs. I sensed something in you and the word was integrity. You said as it is without mincing your words. Please just do good for this country as if it was your own enterprise that you want to excel and we kenyans shall honor you. Do get caught up in anything that can compromise your integrity

I have listened it to the end and its just hot air from wamatinga

Oh my! who will help us get efficiency and remove the cartels!

Mr Wahome oh may God bless you for remembering something your grandmother told you.thanks alot.Wanjiru Nyeri.

Wamatinga has eloquence and good education unlike other mt Kenya leaders , but his only problem is psycophancy which reduces him to a heckler .

Great to have the Senator who is patriotic enough to fix a kenyan skills gap matter. Happy for him.

there will be no changes in the next 10 years.just know we are now under new sinaloa cartel.the best we can do individually is learn how you can create your own energy, be it biogas or solar energy # the enermy of kenya ni mkenya tu

I have been wanting for years to have what Wamatinga has talked of, DONE! Kenya must look for market for power. I got from a reliable source that a lot of power can be produced through the geothermal.......thx to SPICE for putting up a flatform to constructively discuss issues ❤❤❤❤❤❤

What kind of Contracts are those without an "Exit" Clause????. That is why Kenya needs educated Leaders who can make well thought decisions on behalf of Poor Kenyan Masses who vote them into power. How do such Contracts get passed in Parliament? They can only be passed by the likes of Oscar Sudi, Mikel Sonko, Bahati who is fighting tooth to nail to go to Parliament and many more in our past and current Parliament😅😅😅😅😅😭😭😭😭😭🇬🇧

The Nyeri Senator has knows something but his hatred for the former regime and need for revenge is watering it down... sober up Wamatinga

Wahome we from Nyeri will pray for you to be our next Governor.Wanjiru Nyeri.

Why don't polluters clean their pollution? When contracts are written include a clause that mandates companies to clean the environment if they pollute it. Kenya prides themselves as having the best lawyers but when I hear of the contracts that Govt gets into with China, contractors etc, they are disastrous. Is this done on purpose so people can steal from govt?

Very well senator

listening to this debate carefully . cartels are the major problems in our energy sector. my question is might Kenya kwanza be repositioning new thieves , reasons HOW DID G-MOI END UP lately in this same animal farm Kenyatta family dominates do best what they know better.

Wamatinga like all mps and senators understand the reason we are buying power at that cost but he will NOT be allowed to do anything because Ruto is one of the independent power producers.

Wamatinga is the only fellow I have heard who knows what is happening with Electricity Power. However, he is geting lost in environmental degradation. Contribution of IPPs in environmental degradation is almost NIL when you compare with all diesel trucks, aeroplanes, cars, buses, TukTuk and motorbikes etc. The main thing to address is the production Contracts. The worst part is when we have Wind and Solar installation which do not work during calm days and at night when their facilities do not produce. We still pay them for the installed capacity. Bure Kabisa. Baba should be holding Maandamano to bring down the cost of power.

Wonderful and informative discussion. Keep up CT and senator. We need to get things right whatever the end result

Kudos, keep going Hii bei lazima iteremkee

The next governor in the making for nyeri county

Great conversation this!

I didn't know that Nyeri we have another brilliant, eloquent and found leader. He should be the next governor for Nyeri county.

Great conversation, good to know our leaders are trying to do something about this IPP's. What wasn't mentioned and which might surprise Kenyans are the prices we buy power at from this producers: 1. KPLC imports power from Ethiopia at approximately 7.5ksh per unit. 2. KPLC buys power from kengen at approximately 5ksh per unit 3. KPLC buys power from IPP's at around 45ksh per unit. When I heard this, and this are approximates not actual figures I was so shocked. And we have an obligation to buy from the IPP's it's not a choice.

Kenyans are bright and have solutions to their issues.. do we have the political will form leadership.. ??

respect for studio,nice info for my fellow youths to grasp kenya politics n cartel!I sub!

Funny how I am listening to this conversation while researching and writing about white collar crimes🤣🤣

very knowledgeable sen wahome

Hot air

Good question by the panelists but the senator seems shallow in matters Energy, IPPs

Great interview

Wamatinga do your tingas use diesel? And if so how do you deal with the emissions?

The people who are benefiting from the system will not change it

Wahome Wamatangi.thank you for filling the gap of the youth lacked.most of Kenyan kids work so hard and pass KCSE so well but end up doing degrees that dont take them anything Wanjiru Nyeri.

How Kenya can rid off itself from deisal power plants (IPPS) with no cost Using carbon credit financial instruments, Kenya can apply to buy off IPP contracts before their expiry dates by decommissioning IPP power plants and using the carbon credits derived from decommissioning to pay of the contracts. Ipp's produce 30% of Kenyas energy mix almost 200mw. To replace this power, Kenya signed a power purchase aggreement with ethiopia to provide 200mw with a potential to provide 400mw when needed. So this power can easily offset the deisal power plants. This year 35mw of geothermal will be online so this too can cushion the country from any power loses from deisal plants. If this type of carbon offsets is not available kenya needs to push the UN to have it as part of carbon credits.

His very smart🎉

The guy is very smart and the station is lively too

These guys want to kick out the old cartels and they will become the new cartels. Unfortunately the new cartels will attend a church service and donate some money while poor Kenyans will be clapping for them.

Eloquence, good talk, promises we do not need them. Get down to work. Work for us...

I gues the 5.6 trillion missing debit is here

Talk talk, more talk, good ideas, more talk. they'll talk till the cows come home. They never do

We want an inquiry and these IPPs owners named we cannot suffer high power bills and then claim we cannot do anything because of some secret contracts

How will you deal them?

People like senator wamatinga are a rare commodity,,we left our lives to the hands of politicians,a big mistake,,,"Trust me government", it mirrors the American's in 1976 with Mr carter has the president

wah!!

By the way where is this training school you marketed. I can sponsor a hustle there

The way he admired your station, he probably reported Spice FM to Riggy G, CAK fees about to go up.

It’s not funny.A Permanent Secretary in the Energy ministry is a director/owner of a private power generating company that sells electricity to Kenya Power.Why did the President appoint him in the same ministry? And this was why Ruto was in a hurry to appoint a Kalenjin CS in the Ministry of Energy.Sad

I like this debate. Wamatinga the man

A lot of theory, proof is in the pudding.

Senator is th man for th job

Nice video

Get uhuru kenyatta for a show,,,,,,,

The govt needs to privatize Kenya power to a global company in the mgt of power companies like seimins. Siemens brings its expertise, best ngt practices on how to run a power compmany just like we did with safcom and brougt it a compnay that is in the telecommunications business and today safcom is the most profitable company in east africa. The govt gets 50% shares and siemens gets 50%. As it is Kenya power will never change run by Kenyan mangers. because the culture of efficieny, best mgt practices is lacking. Kenya managers are only good if they are supervised by global companies because these companies will take no nonsense and ensure efficency and profitablity will be their main core You can not run an effecient power company when you purchse 5b worth of unworking transformers. This will never happen under a global company but only in kenya and expect cheap reliable power. Safcom is successful because the global partners will not accept Kenyan mangers corrupt ways and waste and mismanagment.

This was a great topic. But i know that they is always a way out. we shouldn't suffer in the hands of a few individuals in the name of cartels.

We need names, quit hiding behind terms like cartel.what are we.Mexico?

Eti a plant didn't turn up with it's own grid ? hehe ..the party that never ends

Senator is correct 💯%. However, government works on rules which can't change until calamity takes place and the cartels adjust the laws unbeknownst to parliamentarians. After a great collectivism of minds, the law is bent against the truthful consumers...solution is to put a clause in every law that mandated to be corrected on the basis of former committee minutes. Rumor has it that Kenyan are not permitted in law to do commercial manufacturing. Ask the senate to quote the chapter and clause in the constitution! And yet it is operational...

My goodness 😮

Wamatinga is sharp

It is a complicated issue though nothing Is impossible for a willing heart this cartels are milking us dry

I would have preferred Priscilla Nyokabi for Nyeri Senator by far but alas she was in the "wrong" party. Most political leaders can talk up a good show but how long have for so many people been talking about the same things and nothing ever happens? We were told in January this very year by the top leadership of Wamatinga's party that power bills wouldn't go up, yet they've gone up to a point higher than they ever were? I try to dig deep and my personal preference for Nyokabi is from a point of information. I'm open to changing my viewpoint if proven wrong

Shallow -- clean air and force majeure 😮😅

I've seen this guy multiple times at the center of Mt Kenya leaders trying to bring down Uhuru Kenyatta. We know this is about politics, not justice. If it was about "dynasties", the very head of the party and government he serves would have a very different face. So pardon me when I take his sentiments with a pinch of salt

The Senator may be apprehensive to mention the names of some these fellows who own these IPPs. But when he at 32:29 talks of this individual who got KPLC into these skewed contracts you don't have to do too much googling, except search 'FORMER KPLC MANAGING DIRECTOR LATER ENERGY PERMANENT SECRETARY', to come up with a name!!!

Excellent Wamatangi.

Oh l meant Wahome wa matinga.Wanjiru Nyeri.

yaani mnajifanya hamjui cartels led by ndindi and ruto and pretending to know nothing

What this guy is saying and planning to do is admirable, but I can say with certainty that all that he says he intends to won't happen. As a matter of fact, it's the person he claims sent him to investigate that will tell him to stop.

At 34:00 Wamatinga is telling us the familiar stories our grandparents have been telling us since time immemorial of whom we should entrust with our meat, but we Kenyans repeat the same mistakes again and again. Not only at KPLC, but c'mon just look at the government as a whole, We have wolves and foxes everywhere and we are expecting something different? Unfortunately, We'll wait till kingdom come.

kenyans don't know what they are fighting against..lets just stop demos😄😄

Good conversation but nothing will happen, he is more of a whistleblower bent on making his political enemies pay ,as he himself said" its payback time"😂😂😂

Ndu, please shorten your questions. Don’t explain the question.

When will they dealt with⁉️🤷 I wonder! 👀

Hope it will not be Kicking out the old cartels to usher in the new cartels

The cartel's are from two communities KK.

Why cry now, Rwale chose these people to the office and dtill believe its doing ok because Gachagua comes from there. Mambo bada.

Senator,does that name start with letter N?😂

Who r cartels Wacha kutubeba Wana...

SAME OLD way of doing things why not name the cartels if he truly has the interest of Kenya in heart ♥

Well we all know who has offshore accounts😂

They want Ndindi to offload his hard earned shares but for the last five years sheered on Uhuru as he shit on the country?

Ehhhh......🙄

Yes controlled by cartel like ndindi Nyoro

Clown and crook,in one combination

Nobody wants to be handed a diesel generator that is 25 years old.

Name the cartels what are you afraid of no need of too much stories.
