• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the amendment which is supposed to be captured is that the money appropriated by Parliament to the KWS, 10 per cent shall be paid out to the Board of Trustees of the Endowment Fund solely for them to divide amongst the communities who have given out their land. 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 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, “the Board of Trustees shall pay out of the Fund, at least, 10 per cent of the money appropriated by Parliament under Section 29(2) annually to communities that have given out land in areas outside the national parks.” Still, in subsection 4, “the amount specified under subsection 3 shall be apportioned to the communities according to the size of the national park as set out in the Tenth Schedule and in such manner and using such criteria as the Cabinet Secretary may prescribe.” view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I still had a further amendment. This was captured--- view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is Subclause 4(c). It says that the Cabinet Secretary shall make guidelines in consultation. They have forgotten the county government. I think it is also better if the county government is consulted jointly with the Cabinet Secretary and the Service. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, then it seems that this Bill will start a fresh at some stage. There is no need of rushing to finish this Bill. Some of us live in areas where there are wild animals and we understand what it means. For example, in my place, you will find grazers coming from very far. Unless we authorize--- view

• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT the Third Schedule be amended in Part B by inserting the following new items immediately after the item named “Snake Wild dog”- “Baboon”; “Monkey”; “Honey bergers” These animals are culprits and they are known to damage livestock, crops and other properties. It will be proper to add these animals on the list. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I actually congratulate the Committee and I will not hesitate that if at all I would give out marks, I think I will give hon. Amina’s Committee 88 per cent out of 100 per cent. This is simply because they have covered areas of conservation. There are some areas where they have engaged the local communities to work alongside the KWS. I also note Clause 109 which says that the land should be as it was before this Act was passed. Those are some of the areas which we are not in line with. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This is a very important Bill especially to my constituents who border the national game parks. This Bill has come at the right time. I have gone through it and there are some amendments which should be moved so that it can be in line with what is happening in our country today. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The implementation of this Bill is in the principles of devolution because it devolves protection of wildlife to the owners and managers of land where there is wildlife. In line with these principles, it is also important at the establishment of the service to also establish something equivalent to the Kenya Police Reservists or homeguards. In this case we should call them “home rangers”. The establishment of home rangers should involve communities that live in areas where there are wild animals.
