• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: On the challenge on Tana River, by Hon. Murugara, my friend, I have missed you. During our days, if you allow me, it was difficult to impeach a Deputy President, and the reason was that we had the numbers. We had 145 Members. You know if you have 117 Members, you survive. Members who were aligned with William Ruto were 145, and Hon. Murugara was our lead counsel. The challenge of siltation in Tana River is that we need to protect the water catchment areas by planting the right species of trees. Tell the people not to plant eucalyptus. Eucalyptus ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Owino has a very good point. I have talked to NEMA. We will work with counties and the Department of Physical Planning to come up with a holistic land use plan, even for rural parts. But the NEMA person on the ground must... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Owino, your point is very valid. I will prepare the report conclusively and deal with the issue. view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: There was the issue of solid waste management. The problem I have, and let me be very frank to the House, is that most of the challenges we are facing with waste management, noise pollution and environmental issues are about devolved functions, but nobody in the counties wants to take care. I mean, we must face it. Let me start with Nairobi. The President has really helped the County Government of Nairobi City. We will help him in terms of resources. We will not deal with Nairobi River if The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: we do not fix the old, dilapidated sewer system in Nairobi. So, the President has committed that he will first fix the sewer. The sewer line is in the river. Even when we want to dredge, we will meet sewer lines. The President has committed. When the budget request comes to the House, please support it. We want to fix that sewer line and maintain it properly. We shall use what we call expanded responsibility. Hon. TJ, today I want to forgive them, but if I give you the names of the corporations that pollute Nairobi River with their products, ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: As I conclude, Hon. Oluoch, you are a very good man, but, please, I am not a Somali Cabinet Secretary. I am a Kenyan Cabinet Secretary. That is the oath I took. But you are better, at least, you have called me Somali, some called me waria, which is very demeaning. It is better you call me Somali, but not waria which is very demeaning. It is Sheng. My people have no choice. There are 15 slaughterhouses that have not complied. Two slaughterhouses have complied. They will not be closed because of competition. I agree with you and I know ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: The last Question, if you allow me, Hon. Temporary Speaker, was on saving our water towers. I think it was Hon. Murugara who asked it. We are doing fencing. We are doing restoration, and we are involving the communities. We are also doing what is called Adopt a Forest Initiative. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have a lot of respect for Dr Mutunga who is a professional. I grappled with his Question during my vetting. I had to read what carbon credits mean. It is a very complicated thing. Kenya's climate financing structure comprises a mixed international, national and private sector financial flow which is aimed at supporting our country's climate change, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation efforts. Climate financing deals with these two. How do we deal with climate crisis? One is mitigation, and the other one is adaptation. This involves a multi-stakeholder framework. It involves integrated public ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: The structure of climate finance has key actors. Having said that, allow me to highlight on who they are in climate finance and their roles. The first one is the National Treasury which is the primary custodian of all matters climate finance. It is also responsible for the overall implementation of our climate finance policy. The Cabinet Secretary, Principal Secretary and the whole team of the National Treasury are at the forefront in whatever we do with our climate finance framework. The National Treasury role is overall mobilisation of climate funds and they lead. When we go to Conference of ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: The next group is the National Climate Change Council (NCCC). This is chaired by the President and 1, as the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, as the Secretary. We also have the Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum, people from the academia, civil society, marginalised communities and youth representative. You passed it in the Climate Change (Amendment) Act two months ago in this House. I am at the stage of establishing that Council. So, what does this Council do as an actor? The Council's mandate is to provide legislative and policy direction. Whatever comes to the House, ... view
