• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because I was on the queue. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Though nominated Members of Parliament have no kitty, I nevertheless support this Motion. I hope in the near future the House will also consider nominated Members to have the opportunity to manage kitties like the NG-CDF. This is because we have bigger constituencies. The persons living with disabilities in this country are six million, and they are concerned. Some are going to school and they need bursaries. We are left with the option of borrowing money for bursaries from KCB, canvasing for Equity Bank’s Wings to Fly scholarship, and relying on well-wishers to assist our constituents. ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: I would like to condole with the family of Hon. Nyenze. It was sad as a nation especially at the point when he came with a gas cylinder for the swearing-in. We felt sad at that time. We condole with the family and the people of Kitui West. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Now the Member for Othaya is out of the disability bracket. We always pray for you people so that you do not join our club. Our club is the only one in the world whose members are not fully catered for. The benefits that we are given by the Government are not enough for some of us. We pray for you daily that you do not join our club. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. All the speakers have emphasised a lot on the importance of forestry so I do not need to emphasise again. From the word go, I support this Motion. First of all, we understand that Kenya is a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol. We have the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) headquarters here in Kenya. At one time we were the holders of the Nobel Prize for environmental conservation through the late Hon. Wangari Maathai, may her soul rest in peace. We really need to conserve our forests. I come from Narok County ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: implementation - and the Committee on Implementation is on the Minority side of the House - to introduce penalties especially, for those who do not plant trees. These penalties can be in cash or kind. It should be a collaboration between the national Government and the county governments. If those penalties are collected, we can use them to pay the youth especially those in the National Youth Service (NYS) to plant trees in our riparian areas and road reserves. As an Hon. Member had mentioned, if you travel from Limuru to Nairobi nowadays, you will find that most of the ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as many speakers have said, if we destroy our nature, then it will destroy us. As we know, nature is never forgiving. I come from Narok and we have seen a lot of floods simply because of the destruction of Mau Forest and the forest cover. If we can concentrate on institutions as well as riparian areas and road reserves, I am sure we will attain the 10 per cent target of forest cover. At the moment, we are at 1.7 per cent which is very shameful, considering that our country has highlands as well as ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: We also need to advise our communities on what they should do in specific areas. As Maasais, we are used to cattle and sheep rearing but if we are advised well, then Purko Sheep Ranch will be the best for tea planting. Hence, forest cover will automatically increase because of the need of the tea factories. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to congratulate the Mover of this Motion because it is the greatest Motion I have heard ever since I came to this House. Congratulations Hon. Chepkut. I have heard that you are a mono. I am not a mono but I have been monolising you. You are very good. This Motion is very important. I strongly support it. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. If there are professions that we need to regulate as a House, they are building surveyors. Building surveyors have caused a lot of pain and conflict in this country because of their shoddy works. I hear that surveyors never die. They hand over their certificates and identity cards to relatives and friends who may know nothing about surveying. That is why road reserves and riparian areas are being grabbed courtesy of quack surveyors. We need to regulate any other profession as we do in the medical sector, human resource and others. I do not ... view
