• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing Bill (Senate Bills N0. 31 of 2018) be now read a Second Time.

• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Senate. This is the Senate of Kenya and we are debating matters concerning counties. Right now, we are moving on to an Order, which is meant to help the counties to generate their own resources through resource initiatives. With devolution, we ended up being a bicameral system; having both the National Assembly and the Senate. We are happy that you are here this afternoon. Madam Temporary Speaker, like many other Bills that we have debated in the 12th Parliament, this Bill started off in the 11th Parliament and it was discussed. Members were very enthusiastic about this Bill in the ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the starting point is that there is no county that does not have natural resources that it can utilise for the benefit of her people. In Turkana County, for example, we have water and oil that was discovered recently. This Bill becomes an anchor for counties as they begin to think about how to exploit their resources. If we do not put mechanisms into place, then we may get to a situation, as has happened in many countries such as Nigeria, where we will have the “oil curse”. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: In Kwale, where I come from, we also have the minerals ‘curse.’ We are very rich in terms of minerals. We have titanium and zirconium, but are termed as a poor county. In Mombasa, there is fishery, while there is coal in Kitui. In Uasin Gishu, where we visited, there is fluorspar mining. In Baringo, we have gemstones, while we have gold and forest in Kakamega. In Narok, we have wildlife, and salt in Lake Magadi, which is in Kajiado County. We have gemstones in Taita-Taveta and many other minerals across all the counties. In fact, the impetus is that ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the inspiration from this Bill comes from the experience from Rwanda, where they have a ceremony called Kwita Izina. They have specific areas where the gorillas have become a niche. They look at the natural resources as very beneficial for them. The ceremony is an international event, where people come to that part of Rwanda just to experience how the community values the gorillas. Everybody comes to name a gorilla. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: The most important part about that is that as a result of their initiative to conserve their environment and think about how natural resources can benefit them, they have built roads and taken care of the environment. People are excited and that in turn makes them value those natural resources. view
