• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank all the Members who contributed to the wetlands policy and urge those who have not contributed to note that the next one is Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Policy, under which you can also deal with the issues of wetlands. I thank you and beg that this House adopts the Report. view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts Sessional Paper No.13 of 2014 on the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Policy, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 2nd December, 2014. ICZM is rooted in the understanding that coastal and marine environment is limited spatially, and is a distinct system that if not managed in a coordinated manner, may affect not only the environment but also the socio-economic interests of the communities living around it. This policy is meant to guide development planning, conservation of the environment and accommodate the social ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: address cross-cutting development issues. The overall objective of the policy is to guide and manage the utilisation of coastal, marine environment and its resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Over the past years, coastal resources and environment were managed through uncoordinated sectoral policies. The sectoral management approach has failed in ensuring sustainable development in our coastal region. The approach used has failed because of weak institutional policies, sectoral sectors, bureaucracy, competing interests and misplaced priorities. To give the House an example of the challenges that Coastal Zone Management is facing, the protected areas in coastal areas are managed by the Kenya ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: The function of that organisation is to deal with maritime commerce. So, if your goal is to deal with maritime commerce, would you stop a project that is going to affect biodiversity? You would be going against your own set objectives. That needs coordination, so that we give the best advice for any activity that involves coastal zones. It is something that we must be able to address. That is the only way we are going to not only ensure that coastal communities benefit from their resources but the national economy also benefits, and that customary and common heritage is ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Justice on the issue of the boundary between the two countries. This is a major challenge, which has not been addressed by this policy. We have been made to understand that whereas Kenya and Tanzania observe the latitudinal marking of marine boundaries, Somalia wants to use the perpendicular one from the coast. That is a very vital issue. Should we have addressed it in this policy, we would have helped our legal team dealing with this matter. We feel that the exclusion is not good for our country. Therefore, we will be recommending that the next version of this policy ... view

• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my brother from Eastlands knows that we are village mates, so I second anything he asks me to second. view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Committee Report is ready and we had hoped to table it this morning, but the bureaucracy in the Secretariat is such that they have to wait for the Chairperson of Committees to sign it. That is what has been pending. However, the Report is ready for tabling. view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to support the Forest Conservation and Management Bill, 2015. I would like to acknowledge the importance of pre-publication scrutiny of Bills. My Committee had the privilege of doing a pre-publication scrutiny of this Bill. We were able to give a lot of 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
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: input and the new Bill does not have the many issues that we had when we looked at the first draft. I am happy that has borne some fruit. This Bill is replacing the Forest Act of 2005. It is intended to incorporate the provisions of the Constitution that affect this sector. This Bill has erroneously mentioned only one article of the Constitution which is 69 as being the basis of the review. The review is going to be affected by not just Article 69 because it is going to include a new dimension that was mentioned by Hon. Sakaja ... view
