• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady I beg to move:- THAT, the Third Schedule of the Bill be amended by— (a) deleting the title “GAZETTED NATIONAL FOREST RESERVES” and substituting therefor the word “GAZETTED PUBLIC FORESTS”; and (b) deleting the expression “(s.30)” and substituting therefor the expression “(s.76(a))”; It is dealing with the right classification that there are no national and county forests but public forests. The second bit is deleting the expression “s.30” because this Schedule is referring to “s.76”. view

• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: seconded. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on this Petition because it is the third of its kind to come to our Committee and it seems to have the same issues and yet we accepted the prayers that were presented by Hon. Ali Wario on the gazettement of Bura Forest Reserve. We did the same for Hon Dukicha on Wayu Forest. The Forest Act, 2005 requires that the process be started by the Ministry; that is the process of degazettement or changing the boundaries of the same. So whereas I welcome this Petition, it is the third of its ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Article 113(2) of the Constitution and Standing Order No. 150, this House adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee on the Mining Bill, 2014 laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 8th March 2016, and approves the mediated version of the Mining Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 9 of 2014). 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
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Mining Bill was passed by this House and sent to the Senate, which passed it on 28th October 2015. Therein, as a House, we looked at it and approved it with some rejections of the Senate version of the Bill. Subsequently, we had three meetings, as Mediation Committee, to look at several clauses of the Bill that were problematic. The following are the resolutions of the Mediation Committee on the disputed clauses. This House rejected the Senate amendment on the definition of “community” because their definition left out communities which would be displaced by an intended exploration ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Mediation Committee further agrees with the fact that the definition of “strategic minerals” under Clause 16 was sufficient. A definition was, therefore, not required under the definition clause. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On Clause 7, we agreed with the Senate’s recommendation that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) should only gazette upon advice from the Mineral Rights Board. Clause 16 was also asking that the Mineral Rights Board advises the CS when dealing with strategic minerals. Clause 30 was also a disputed component. One was on the nomination of the member of the Council of Governors to sit in the Mineral Rights Board. The mediated version of the Bill agrees with an amendment whose effect is that the person proposed by the Council of Governors should have professional experience on matters relating to mining. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We also had a disagreement on who would serve as the Secretary to the Mineral Rights Board. We ended up agreeing that the Director of Mines would be the Secretary. Previously, we had thought it should be the Principal Secretary. Clause 33 was with regard to what happens when the CS rejects an application. As a House, we wanted a process where they could go back to the CS. However, the agreement in the mediated version says that once the CS rejects an application, we automatically go to court and remove the version where you could request for an intervention ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 34 was over a deletion that was undertaken by the Senate. The mediation version of the Bill agrees with the National Assembly. We said that there is no way you can remove prospecting. Basically, the need to have a community giving consent to somebody doing prospecting on their land had been deleted by the Senate. We have now reinstated the same. view
