• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Mbadi, one day you might look for a job as the Chairperson of Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). So, when you bring laws, make sure you make laws for posterity and that you do not make laws that will hang you tomorrow. view

• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my colleague, the Majority Whip, will respond to this debate. I want to join the Chairperson of the Committee and my colleagues in saying that this Bill has come of age. It is a very important Bill. What does it provide? First and foremost, the Bill seeks to enhance the penalties for wildlife crime, something we have not had since independence. Secondly, for the first time, the Bill is aligned to Vision 2013 and the Constitution of Kenya. Thirdly, for the first time, the Bill also provides for an institutional framework, with clear separation of the ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Some of the salient features of this Bill include the vesting of the management of wildlife in the State, on behalf of the people of Kenya. It creates institutions which will be distinct in terms of scope and functions. In compliance with the Constitution, the Bill seeks to establish several guiding principles to ensure very good corporate governance, effective and efficient conservation and sustainable utilisation of our resources. The Bill provides for both incentives and benefit sharing amongst the various stakeholders. More fundamentally, it provides for an integrated ecosystem approach in conservation of wildlife. view

It also enhances the capacity of the wildlife training institute. For the first time, the Manyani ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: ecosystem in terms of management plans. Finally, the Bill seeks to establish a wildlife conservation endowment fund and an innovate compensation scheme to be financed by the income from investments, grants, donations and friends of conservation. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sure that the Committee and this House will re-look at Clause 9 of this Bill, which is on penalties. The Bill proposes punitive penalties. For example, it says that if you contravene a management plan, you will be fined Kshs500,000 or serve a two-year jail term. Polluting wildlife areas attracts a fine of Kshs2 million and a two-year ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am happy that the Chairperson has clarified that matter. What I was saying is that a lion would get out of the park and kill, say, 20 goats of a very poor family. The farmer or livestock keeper then kills the lion in defence of his livestock. I agree with the Committee, and we have no choice, that we must defend our wildlife and render punitive penalties to poachers. With regard to participation, I would like to tell my colleagues that the preparation of this Bill took a very long time. That is a fact, ... view
