• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee of Energy regarding the passage of deliberately incurred demurrage costs to consumers of petroleum products. In the statement, the Committee should- (1) State the current daily tariff for demurrage of the Port of Mombasa for ships carrying petroleum products, indicating the maximum required vis-à-vis current average timelines for loading and clearing the petroleum products at the port. (2) Disclose the total amount of money paid for demurrage so far in the Financial Year (FY)2024/2025 for delays in offloading and clearing ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to comment on the Statement of Sen. Okenyuri. You are aware --- view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Okay, I am aware. I congratulate Sen. Okenyuri but also request further information. I do not know if, in their own Motion, the Committee on Health should give us an update on this issue of Social Health Authority (SHA). We have seen a lot of challenges that Kenyans are facing when registering for the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) across the country. We are being told there is a breakdown to access this service. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you direct under Standing Order No.1, that the Committee on Health briefs this House on the status of the rollout of ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank you and the Mover of this Bill, Sen. Haji, our Temporary Speaker, for this wonderful Bill. The country is geared towards issues of climate change, led by His Excellency the President, who has been a great champion on issues of climate change. Therefore, this amendment is timely. I would like to celebrate Sen. Haji for always pushing for serious agenda. In fact, I am excited to second this Bill because Sen. Haji comes from the northern frontier, where the ravages of climate change continue to be devastating. With the ravaging issues ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: I am sorry. I meant Madam Wangari Mathai. My apologies. view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: I thought she was a lady. view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: My apologies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you protect me from the heckling of Sen. Eddy? He is used to that. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me go to Clause 2. I can see this is a brief Bill. I agree with the sourcing of tree seeds. I thank the President for being the leading light in the issue of climate change in the world and in Africa. However, I would like to request that through the Sen. Haji’s Bill, we need to use community-based organizations (CBOs) of the youth, people living with disability, women, especially in Meru and Nandi ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: So, we want to encourage all Kenyans on the issue of reaching 30 per cent. It cannot only be done in highlands of the country. It can also be done in semi-arid areas. Out of the143 million acres that we have in this country, 104 million acres are in scrubland. Therefore, the Bill of Sen. Haji has the intention of ensuring that we have vegetation cover, even on 2.5 million acres of public forests. In Nandi County, for example, we have three forests. We pride ourselves in Nandi North Forest, Tinderet and Nandi South Forest that covers both Emgwen. We ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: and the end result. I therefore request KFS that during the harvesting of trees, especially in forests, they should only harvest mature trees and avoid harvesting indigenous trees like the Mugumo Tree. The Mugumo Tree is very important in the Kikuyu Culture. There are trees like Simatwet in Nandi, which is a sacred tree. I also heard Moringa is important. There are trees that have both cultural and medicinal value. For us, Simatwet is very important in our culture. Even as we allow logging and the lifting of the moratorium of access to logging in public forests, we should be ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: I encourage all of us that when you are driving your car and you have taken your water or soda or have eaten something, do not litter or throw trash along the road that dirties our environment. The country should be mindful the way the President has talked about the use of electric motor vehicles, even when it comes to the energy we consume or use. With those remarks, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am proud to second this Environment Laws (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 23 of 2024). view
