• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologise for interrupting. I appreciate your communication. However, it is missing certain critical information; that is the direction on the venue of the Parliamentary Caucus meetings, whether it will be at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) or Parliament. It is important to make it clear so that Members willing to attend can know and move about easily. view

• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have equally read the mood of the Majority side and I have declared that nobody will be allowed to speak. We put the question because people want to begin their recess. I just want to vote for the Third Reading, then we go home.

• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I beg to move that the Climate Change (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bills No.42 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important gathering of the Senate today, this morning. We are meeting here as a House to consider the Climate Change (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.42 of 2023); a Bill that was published under the gazette Supplement No.127 of 2023, considered by the National Assembly, and passed on the 23rd August 2023. Thereafter, it was referred to us for consideration. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are aware ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: If we are not serious as inhabitants of the earth to combat the challenges that are faced in our climate and coming up with policies and measures, put our brains together, and think and have a concerted effort of combating climate change, in the next few years, this world may not be habitable. I guess subsequently, that is why the conversations have moved and become better. If you are a keen follower of this climate conversation, you would see a difference even in attitude, even in the attendance and in the seriousness that is given to the global climate conversation ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: I do not know if he went to plant it or if somebody planted it for him. I encourage him that each time he drives to Busia County via Eldoret, he should stop by the Arboretum where we planted those trees and check on them. That is the art you are being taught. It is not just about planting trees, but also growing them. Even the schools that we go to and you are chief guest, appoint somebody and ensure that the tree will grow because we are in a race for 15 billion trees to grow our forest cover ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: investment in our own country and have funds or resources come back to us as a nation, so that we are able to meet our own quota of the national determined contributions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know for a fact, like I have mentioned that carbon trading is one of the areas that has been identified as a way and means through which developing nations such as Kenya and so many of those that are in the global south can use to raise resources to meet their contribution to this quota. I have mentioned that our own NDC puts us ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Provisions of Clause 3 of the Bill ensure that the national Government and the respective county government where this project is situated, jointly oversee and monitor negotiations for the community development agreement with the project proponents and the stakeholders. This is where it gets interesting because of this contribution or collaboration between the national Government and our various respective county governments. We have been told from when we were young that people either respond to the stick or the carrot. That either they are forced to do something or you motivate them. Therefore, the question that people have been asking ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: This is where I want to draw the attention of my colleagues; you will find companies like Microsoft and Unilever having operations in Kenya. This is because of lack of this regulatory framework and the demand that you are making on these companies. In other countries such as Tanzania – that is why I have mentioned the figures they have unlocked in the last one year alone – they are able to put projects that are measurable. In Kenya, for the lack of this legal framework, they know you can easily get by and nobody will ask you any difficult ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: There is an insertion of a new paragraph five, which provides for regulation of carbon markets. This is very important, good people. I have mentioned that in this conversation on the climate issues that face the world, there is a lot of hypocrisy. I have mentioned further in my opening remarks that the leading polluters, the people who are supposed to pay the most because they have gotten us to where we are, wield a lot of power in the globe. Mr. Speaker, Sir, because of the immense power that they wield, you have to set it by regulation and ... view
