• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I just want to add something. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, there was a Motion then. I think it was in 2018 or thereabouts where the Senator for Laikipia County, Sen. Kinyua, brought the Motion and I am the one who seconded. It was transmitted to the National Treasury and there was some consultation with the National Assembly. Apart from the statement from Sen. Wambua on the councillors’ payment, there was supposed to be regularization to advise us. In fact, I remember the Motion recommended that the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Hon. Rotich, back then but now Hon. Ukur Yatani, was to advise Parliament on how the payments can ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I support this amendment. Of course, as my colleagues have indicated that in the future when it comes to Committee Stage, we will give some ideas here and there. All of us appreciate the role that tourism and the uniqueness of especially the ‘big five’ that has been recognized world over that is only found in Kenya. It does not go without notice that one of the top foreign exchange earners to this Republic in terms of revenue is through the wildlife and tourism sector. I know the sector has been affected ... view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: among other wild animals in that region. I agree with Sen. Mwaruma that it was timely that we should have this. On this issue of 12 months, I think what should be happening on the process - my senior colleague has argued on this - is that we need to reduce deadline of assessment of the matter. If it is not even appealed, I do not think it should go beyond 12 months. In my opinion, we should make it as soon as possible perhaps six months so that the dependents and beneficiaries benefit promptly. You can imagine the horrific ... view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: I agree that we need to be careful especially on the issue of poaching because some of the animals that we have in this country are so rare like the White rhino or White elephant; it was so unique. My proposal is that we should also have a lab. Sen. Mwaruma, you can include them so that we can even procreate some of the rare species. You can imagine if we have, for example, an elephant that is rare or the giraffe. I saw one in North Eastern that is an albino. I hope I am using the correct word. ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: There was hue and cry when a private investor, in Maasai Mara, was allowed to develop a hotel along the path that was used by the animals when they were migrating, something that is referred to as the Seventh Wonder of the World. We should have proper regulations which should be followed by people who want to develop structures in our national parks. We cannot allow people to build resorts and hotels in the park without fear of interfering with the flora and the fauna of that specific place. I am saying this without prejudice. I know that some of ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: The other thing is the wildlife compensation scheme. It has been indicated there that we need to be efficient and prompt with the compensation. I do not know how Sen. Mwaruma can develop this but we need to have a reporting mechanism that will help us know the number of people who have died in a particular area. We should know the people who have died of snake bites in Makueni County and the money that they were paid as compensation. We should also state whether the reporting mechanism will be devolved to the counties or not. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: I can see the ‘ Maa kingpin’, Sen. Olekina, in the House. We need to know the amount of money that is collected from the parks. I am a Member of the Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments. When the Governor of the county government of Narok appeared before us, he could not tell us the amount of money that they collect from Maasai Mara. We need a reporting mechanism. We need to know how much money has been used on compensation and the number of Kenyans who have been killed by the wild animals. I also want to ... view
