• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 49 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (1) by inserting the word “association” immediately after the words “community forest”. The Bill had left out the word “association”. Its user rights are given to Community Forest Association and not to community forests. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 52 of the Bill be amended by inserting the words “, and in accordance with rules made under this act or other relevant laws” immediately after the words “social amenities”. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: This is calling for rules made under this Act and other relevant roles on corporate social responsibility by investors in this sector. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 53 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub clause— “(1) The Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, may on the recommendation by the Cabinet Secretary, propose tax and other fiscal incentives to increase investments in forest land use and forest resource utilization in order to promote forest conservation and management, and to prevent or abate forest degradation.” view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Currently, Clause 53(1) talks about the Cabinet Secretary (CS), National Treasury consulting with the counties. That will not be possible. So, we have deleted the same and proposed the change. This provides clarity so that the issue of tax payable is actionable by the CS, National Treasury because county governments are not responsible for proposing taxes on anything. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Hon. Serut is very attentive and I need to acknowledge that. In this Bill, the definition of the word “Cabinet Secretary” under the preliminaries means the Cabinet Secretary responsible for matters relating to forestry. When you say Cabinet Secretary and you do not qualify it, it is automatic. That is what is defined under the preliminaries. However, I am very happy that you are that alert. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 56 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (3) by deleting the words “provisions of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2005” and substituting therefor the words “public procurement and asset disposal laws”. This is a clean-up exercise so that the law remains relevant even if the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2005 is repealed. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 59 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (2) by deleting the word “may” and substituting therefor the word “shall”. This amendment makes it mandatory for the Cabinet Secretary to gazette regulations regarding export and import of forest products. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 62 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (2) by inserting the words “uniformed and disciplined” immediately after the word “Any”. This ensures that only uniformed and disciplined officers of the Kenya Forest Service are allowed to use firearms. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 63 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) - (a) by deleting the words “national, county” and substituting therefor the word “public”; and (b) by deleting the words “or is in occupation of a building authorised by the Director General or the County public officer responsible for forestry,” appearing in paragraph (b). This is a clean-up exercise to ensure that the whole Bill conforms to the land tenure classifications in the Constitution. view
