• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 49(3) be amended in paragraph (b) by deleting the word “Director-General” and substituting therefor the words “Chief Conservator of Forests”. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to reject the said Senate amendment. In line with trying to keep things in order, there is a specific Bill that deals with squatters. This is the Forest Conservation and Management Bill. We do not want any further confusion when it comes to dealing with the issue of squatters, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and our forests. I reject the amendment. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for recognizing gender and giving me the opportunity to contribute on this. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: From the outset, I want to thank our able Chair for working hard to bring this Amendment Bill. I am a member of the Committee and I must commend him for the endless hours the Committee spent out of town. Let me also commend the members of KDF who made their presentations to us and the CS. The amendments will bring the Kenya Defence Forces Act in line with the Constitution and make it accountable and clear. It will ensure there is no disruption of the established chain of command in the disciplined force. Our disciplined force is one of ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 34 states that the auxiliary reserve force will be made up of the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the National Youth Service. Forces are expected to go through military training. They carry weapons in the deployment of their duties. It only makes sense that we have a very competent and well trained military. Should they require reinforcement, the auxiliary forces of Kenya Wildlife Service and Kenya Forest Service would be able to give them support that is required. Whereas there is a lot of concern with the National Youth Service, they also receive paramilitary training ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, please protect me from the Member for Nakuru East. It is important that we are able to maintain the chain of command when it comes to dealing with the disciplined forces. When we put the service commanders in charge of their budget, allocation of resources, transfer and posting, it means they are able to control their budgets and they are able to speak out for what they require. This means that whereas in the past certain areas received more funding and others got a little less and were unable to effectively present their forces with the ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion on the Ratification of the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Kenya and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning Defence Cooperation. This particular Report enhances, irons out and outlines the Defence Cooperation Agreement between the two nations and establishes a framework in terms of how we should proceed in our agreement in use of our military space, use of training that enhances capacity and the framework we should operate in, in exchanging experience and knowledge for the mutual benefit of both ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: environment that gives us five climatic zones that present an opportunity to be a centre of excellent training and learning how soldiers can adjust to different climatic conditions in a single day in their training. This is a unique opportunity and landmark for our country. It offers experience and the kind of land mark that is completely unique. These training grounds should not be taken advantage of or taken for granted because no other country has training facilities that are available here. This agreement also outlines how visiting defence forces should conduct themselves. In Laikipia and Nanyuki, we find many ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: While it is not commercial value, given our unique area and the situation we have in Somalia, it becomes important for us to get sufficient revenues to ensure that we defend our borders and our soldiers. We should ensure that they are well-armed, taken care of and well- housed. Those agreements should be in this particular agreement. With those few words, I beg to second the Motion. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
