• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 32 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (4) by inserting the words “of the land on which the forest is established” immediately after the words “levied in respect”. The amendment makes the clause complete and gives it meaning. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support that amendment. I have two Petitions about variation of forests. One relates to Wayu Forest and the other relates to Hon. Wario's constituency. It has been two years and nothing has happened. We should resolve that anomaly in the law and this amendment will help. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 43 of the Bill be amended — (a) in the marginal note by deleting the words “national and county” and substituting therefor the word “public”; (b) in Sub clause (4) by deleting the word “licence” and substituting therefor the word “concession”; and (c) by inserting the following new Sub clause immediately after Sub clause (7)— “(7) A grantee of a concession shall provide a bond or some other form of financial security in this section referred to as “an Environmental Protection Bond”. (8) An Environmental Protection Bond shall be of ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: (9) An Environmental Protection Bond shall be in a form and for an amount as maybe determined by the Cabinet Secretary having regard to the particular characteristics of the concession.” This amendment helps in reflecting the land tenure system that is defined in the Constitution. It also deals with the fact that concessions are not done through a licence as implied. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Member for Ndhiwa is saying that we should get the “Environmental Protection Bond” in the definition section. I just wanted to let him know that the Environmental Management and Coordination (EMC) Act has a provision for the environmental bond. If you remember, last week I mentioned that this is one of the recommendations that the EMC Act has brought. So, it is already defined under the EMCA and doing another definition will just be repeating ourselves. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would really love Hon. Lentoimaga to give us the mischief he is trying to cure. Part of Clause 44 is dealing with gazetted forest. For example, this component provides that if you go to Karura Forest and want to do an activity there, you would have to do a management plan. So, I am wondering what mischief he is trying to solve. I am not opposing, but I am not getting clearly what mischief he wants to resolve by this amendment. This is generally a management plan. If you are looking for something which is ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to oppose that amendment by Hon. Lentoimaga on the following grounds: The rationale behind this clause is to deal with concessioneering of public forests for purposes of increasing the revenues we are generating from those forests. Secondly, the issue of customary use is already allowed under all public forests. So, in this case what we are dealing with is that we are going to a plantation forest, for instance, and you say that the KFS has only been generating Kshs4 billion from this forest. There is a private concessioneer who gives you a proposal ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 48 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub clause (1) by inserting the word “Service” immediately after the words “inform the” appearing in paragraph (f); and (b) by deleting sub clause (2) and substituting therefor the following new sub clause- “(2) The management agreement between the Service and the community forest association shall confer on the association all or any of the following forest user rights— (a) collection of medicinal herbs; (b) harvesting of honey; (c) harvesting of timber or fuel wood; (d) grass harvesting and grazing; (e) collection ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: (b) the Director-General may, in consultation with the association, prescribe rules for the conduct of the activities specified in this section. This is the management agreement between the Kenya Forest Service and the Community Forest Association and has the list of uses that is allowed. This is also an opportunity for Hon. Lentoimaga, if there is any activity of customary nature that has been left out. This is where we should put it. view
