exchange. The process is ongoing, and I will update you. I will also fast-track it. Chief Conservator, how long will it take? How many weeks? Two weeks, three weeks, or one month?

Finally, Hon. Mutunga, I will invite you when you are free. I want you to sit with the lady in charge of the climate secretariat in NEMA, where the carbon market trading is domiciled. One of the times when Parliament is meeting, we can invite the climate secretariat. One of the agendas should be for those experts to come and explain to Members what climate- carbon market credit and trading are all about. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have stayed here for more hours. It is a privilege to be here.

Yes, and there is an issue of Tana River by my very good friend, Member for Garsen. I do not want to say his nickname, but he has a very nice and famous one. I assure you that I will revisit those areas gazetted as forests in 2016 because of political expediency. But as Hon. Temporary Speaker said, help me by bringing a petition so I can deal with it.

House. Bring a petition or question, and then I will ask the Kenya Forest Service leadership, Chief Conservancy of Forests (CCF), and the Principal Secretary to give us...

I have nothing against my colleagues who are not politicians. I do not want to be misquoted. But when they are politicians, they know the problems. I have stayed here for long hours. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. This is my second home. There is a question on Nandi. We do not want citizens to miss out on seedlings. If you go to the following five government institutions, you will get seedlings: Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), National Youth Service (NYS), Kenya Prisons Service, Kenya Forest Service (KFS), and Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI). All of them have the ...

2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, and I cherish this House. I will always respect the House and its Committees. The Hon. Members from the refugees, please, I would like them to stand with me. I will be very firm. I need their support. The videos are viral, and anybody who sees them will see what the United Nations Higher Commissioner for Refugees (UHNCR) is doing to the environment. Not just now. They have done it since 1992 when the Temporary Speaker was a Member of Parliament on a Ford Kenya ticket.

17 Apr 2024 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, and hon. Senators. It is good to be back home. These corridors were my home for 17-and-a-half years and every time I come back to Parliament, I feel as if I am back home.

This project began in March, 2022 and was jointly implemented with the Nairobi Metropolitan City Services then. It should be noted that the quality of the Park facilities then had become dilapidated over time to the point where ...

undertaken by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA). Discussions with KENHA have since been finalized and they have assured the Ministry of Defence that the storm water connection will be completed soon. We have documentation to that effect that KENHA will man the Uhuru Highway and the Express Way must do their bit, so that we can connect our drainage system to the Uhuru Highway drainage system. The second Question is on whether the Park has been handed over to the Nairobi County Government and if I could provide a timeline. I will be handing over that Park tomorrow morning.
