• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to second the consideration of the Senate amendments. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We are rejecting Clause 9 because the Senate is proposing a mechanism that does not give the Senate timelines with which to ratify this natural transaction. It also goes against our own Standing Orders and the Constitution that require us to go to mediation if the two Houses do not agree. The proposal by the Senate says that if the National Assembly approves something and the Senate rejects it, yet it emanated from the other House, it would be stood approved. Our Standing Orders and the Constitution require that if there is disagreement, we go for mediation. That is the ... view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We have agreed with them in deleting research in genetic materials from the natural resources exploitation that requires ratification, so that we give research institutions more freedom to carry out research. This was also in our amendment, but due to the heated situation in the Third Reading of this Bill, we were not able to pass it. That is an amendment that had been proposed by Hon. Ottichilo, who was out of the country. So, this amendment is dear to Hon. Ottichilo. We agree with him and the Senate. We accept this amendment to the Schedule. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to second. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we agree with the Senate amendment to Clause 2. They have been diligent in noting that we changed the definition of “forest” in Clause 30 of the Bill and as such, they are putting this clause in line with that amendment. It is also being diligent to the definition of “community” in the Constitution. The amendment to sub-clause (b) has the same implication. They also appreciate the ownership of private forest. We agree with the Senate on the amendments. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee agrees with the Senate amendment to Clause 5. This is in appreciation of the fact that forest is a shared function. The call by the Senate to have decisions made in consultation with the county government is a welcome move. So, we appreciate that it is both a national and a county function. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee agrees with the proposed amendment. This is a cleanup exercise. We want to congratulate them on this. In Clause 30 of the Bill, our Committee had amended the original Bill to define both “national” and “county forests” as public forests. This amendment is cleaning up what we had left out. We agree with this amendment. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, just as I said in Clause 6, we agree with the Senate on the amendment to Clause 8 because it is replacing the word “national” with “public”. We support. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: There are two amendments to Clause 9 and we agree with both. The first amendment is going to be repeated in several other clauses where we are changing the title “Director-General of the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) to “Chief Conservator of Forests.” We agree with the Senate because as Hon. Ottichilo said, during the Second Reading, that title seems to be more widely used and preferred. If there is logging, we will hold him accountable for going against the title of his position. We also agree with the second amendment, but it is a bit controversial. They are proposing that ... view
