• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I mentioned the extractive sector because that is the one that we have put in the Bill, but the regulation is going to cover all sectors. There is the issue of Owino Uhuru Slums where there was lead poisoning. We cannot get money from the investor to rehabilitate that area because he did not put a rehabilitation bond. If he had done it, the Government would not have to foot that bill. So, I am happy that, that has been covered by his Bill. This Bill then goes to all the sectors that are natural-resource related and say what they ... view

This is one of the Bills that are required under the Constitution to have been passed by August 2015 and for which we extended the period to August 2016. So, this is a rather urgent Bill that needs to be passed by this House. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

So, there is some urgency for this Bill to be passed. The Constitution requires that we pass this Bill within five years. If not, transactions done before the August 2015 constitutional deadline are covered by the Constitution and this Bill, but those that are done beyond the August 2015 deadline are a problem. So, this Bill is very urgent. I can understand ... view

Under the Wildlife Management and Conservation Bill, if you were to change the boundaries of a national park, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) proposes but it can only happen with the approval of the House and yet it is on this Bill. Under the Forest Management Act, the same is the case for situations where you want to change the boundaries of a forest reserve, and yet it is not part of this Bill. Therefore, the question that it is begging is: Do we go back to ... view

• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Constitution uses the words “Ratification of natural resources agreements.” It is not the ratification of international instrument. It is ratifying agreements between private entities who want to use natural resources that are owned by the national Government, county government or a private--- view
