• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: When you have complaints addressed within a department of a Ministry, we will be faced with a problem because then the complaints that have been brought cannot be dealt with properly. view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think that is a minus on this particular amendment. A progressive amendment on this one is the establishment of environment action plan committee, which then will give the Authority power to propose an environment action plan within three years. You wonder how this country is working or moving forward without a proper national environment plan. That the Authority should be given power to establish a national environment plan within three years is a very good move, and I think that is useful. view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The other progressive amendment is to the extent that the county environment committees are going to be given power to manage issues in environment at the counties. That is a useful thing that ought to be given consideration. As I said, the fact that you want to make this Bill to be aligned to county governments, and also you want to make this Bill respond to the right to information--- Those were useful amendments. You are having issues to deal with climate change in the proposed amendment to Section 56(8). There will be conflict when you have various provisions dealing ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first, I would like to thank you for being magnanimous and extending the time for this particular condolences period. On my own behalf, on behalf of the people of Ndhiwa and on behalf of the Parliamentary Human Rights Association that I convene, I wish to pass condolences to the family, friends, the Senate and entire country for the loss of Otieno Kajwang’. My last moment with hon. Kajwang’ was at 8.30 p.m. last evening at the Members Lounge, where we chatted. I had a long conversation with him, as my, in the Members Lounge. When I was called ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this particular amendment. Just to respond to hon. Makau’s concerns, the NDMA will take actions and the manner in which it is going to do that is elaborated under part (g) that says it will obtain, collate and publish information that will lead to community resilience. I really think that his concerns are arrested. With that, I do support. view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to support this particular amendment because of the reasons that hon. Ganya has given. The amendment expands the purview of the Fund that is to be established to ensure that it takes care of emergencies. It is important because drought management encompasses a variety of things. The emergency bit is what concerns most Kenyans. With those remarks, I support the amendment. view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: seconded. view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to second that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said Report. I really think that the provisions of the Bill as proposed by hon. Ganya do sort out very many issues. I am particularly very interested in the New Clause 6(A) of the Bill that does introduce the manner in which the Authority established is going to be coordinating, harmonising and offering a timely response to drought emergency issues in Kenya. You know for a fact that this has for a long time been left to civil society ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I appreciate very much the ruling that you have made concerning the issue raised by hon. Midiwo. I was wondering whether the letter from the Clerk has an effect of giving an injunction or putting a caveat on the transaction on a land, given the fact that--- I am hoping that, that could only be done by a court of law, or is it that by doing this sort of activity it would then facilitate action to happen on the land, which will then be prejudicial to what hon. Midiwo is requesting? I stand guided. view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I contribute to this Bill, I would like to let hon. A.B. Duale know that speaking to a Bill is more than just reading the Memorandum of Objects; it involves doing more research. I appreciate the fact that it makes life easy for a couple of people who might not have the time to research. view
