• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this very important amendment Bill on environment. Like it has been said here, we all know how environment is important to us as Kenyans and living beings on this planet. If we do not take care of environment, it can be catastrophic. I want to speak on four key issues. The first one is on marine life. I have seen in this Bill where it says that if we need to start mining around areas where we have marine national parks, then we need express authority from a ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, please save me from the consultations going on here. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Our country is undergoing a lot of explorations for oil and gas. I am aware that the whole town of Malindi together with Watamu, is one block of oil. There is a company that has been awarded that block to do exploration. You can imagine with marine life in Malindi National Park and Watamu Marine National Park what that could mean if oil and gas were to be found in those areas. So, it is important that we put these into perspective. I am glad that this amendment is there to ensure ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: environment. It is important to have local participation and appreciation of these forests by people who live near them. That is very important because a lot of charcoal burning and logging of forests is done by people who have not been given a chance to participate in environmental conservation. Therefore, they just let these forests disappear and then we start complaining. It is very important for local people to participate. There is need to also focus on urban centres. As the Women Representative for Nairobi, you know exactly what that means when it comes to environmental issues here. We have ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: It is important that even in urban centres, local groups are given prominence as part of the people who will be helping these committees to ensure that they collect garbage and train local communities. This will ensure that we have cleaner secure grounds in our urban centers like Nairobi, Malindi and Mombasa. Our tourists and even we should not walk in places where you encounter heaps of garbage. The only thing that we need would be to train the locals and encourage them to participate in the exercise. I can see that there will be funding since this is a ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. First of all, on behalf of the people of Malindi and on my own behalf, I wish to express my condolences to the 28 Kenyans who lost their lives in Mandera. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: It is very unfortunate that a couple of years ago, in this country, we used to pride ourselves that in Kenya hakuna matata. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, please control the level of consultation. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Clearly, that is not the case today. Our country is disintegrating into chaos and insecurity and this must stop. Just the other day, I had a chance to go to Mpeketoni with the Deputy President when we had massacres there. I counted 28 or 30 bodies and we put them in a canter on its way to the morgue. I am seeing the same situation being replayed in Mandera. It is very unfortunate that we have such kind of events happening in our country. This must stop. Like the Members said today, our country is focusing more on economic empowerment ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I come from a tourism area; Malindi. There is no way you can talk of tourism today with the levels of insecurity that we have. Which tourists will come to this country to come and have fun and contribute to the economy of this country if we have these levels of insecurity? It is unacceptable. So, I want to join Kenyans in condemning these acts and this must stop. Those who are responsible must take responsibility forthwith and ensure that the lives of Kenyans are saved. view
