• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Accommodating those three Members caused shifts elsewhere, because you need to know how to move people around, also based on other considerations and requests either from the Chairs or other Members to create space to accommodate those. That is how complex it gets. There is also Hon. Tepo moving in to fill the space that was left by Hon. Sankok when he moved out of the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity. We have also received several requests from Members who feel they want to move. But my request would be that we first of all allow another one ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Sessional Paper. I wish to recognise the work that has been done by the Committee. It is something that they have been working on since the Sessional Paper was tabled here sometimes mid last year. They had a series of meetings. I have seen from the minutes and deliberations that they had. They listened to experts and people who appeared before them.I believe the Committee called for public participation and for Members to go and give views. It is not unusual that it is at the completion of a ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Therefore, the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, do not be discouraged. The quest for more participation is not indicative that you had not done your job. Looking at the document, it is in fact a build-up from the earlier Sessional Paper of 1975. We are not starting at zero. I remember following the 2012 proposals which were passed in 2013 because of many issues on human-wildlife conflict that had come up, an Act of Parliament was passed in 2013. But again, this was premised on the policy framework that was colonial and historical in 1975 ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The good thing is we now have an updated policy. I have gone through it and it is very systematically done. I know that Hon. Sankok mentioned that perhaps not everyone was involved. When I look at it, it kind of details – apart from the literature review which is standard and the expert input that is expected of this kind of proposal - a series of workshops and validation workshops which involved all the people, the players within the sector. Perhaps not everyone would have gone in there or known that there was something happening, that is not unusual, ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Looking at the document, I find very little that one can then change in terms of the issues but we must also remember that tourism is one of our key sectors that we identified in our Vision 2030. Granted that it has been affected by COVID-19 not only in Kenya but also globally, we would have wished to see more numbers and more tourists coming. The other day we were in Amboseli National Park as part of parliamentary work and we were encouraged to see the level of conservation going on there and even the domestic interest in terms of ... view
