• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Sorry, it was a bit long. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. It looks like Sen. Farhiya she is not prepared to proceed with this matter. There is a Bill that is a bit urgent; The National Drought Management Authority (Amendment) Bill. Maybe, with her permission, we can proceed with that. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that The National Drought Management Authority (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 26 of 2019) be now read a Second Time. I wish to thank the Deputy Whip of the Senate, Sen. Farhiya, for allowing us to move this particular Bill because it is rather urgent and has been with us for some time. I really thank the Government for agreeing to amend this particular Bill, so that we can utilize the budget under the Drought Management Authority. The Bill seeks to amend the National Drought Management Act No.4 of 2016, ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: The Bill establishes the National Drought Emergency Fund. As a country, we have been facing a lot of challenges in terms of how this budget should be utilized. If we pass this Bill, then Kenyans from Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) areas can enjoy this particular fund. It is awaiting this particular Bill to amend how the fund can be operationalized. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, there are a lot of problems during drought in our country, especially in ASAL areas. Every time, you will see us fighting for proper The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: legislation to be put in place for take care of drought in ASAL areas. Whenever it rains, we have been running around to make sure we take care of floods in this country. I hope this Bill we are moving as the Senate can solve the problem of drought in this country. Whenever there is a drought, we call it an emergency. Once we establish this fund, I hope we will have a basket where donors will contribute to this worthy course and make sure we have prepared ourselves as a country in dealing with the drought disaster. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: The Bill also provides the drought response and management which National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) has been doing over the years. Unfortunately, because of lack of proper framework, this has never been done properly; a response that is not directly geared towards solving the solution. With the established fund under this amendment, we can respond to drought in this country in a proper manner. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Secondly, the Bill also gives responsibility to both national and county government. You will find that a lot of money is allocated at the national and county level. However, without proper legislation, the money is not utilized in a manner that it can help Kenyans. At the national level, we have a lot funding. There are so many institutions that are running around with the basket of drought or disaster management in this county. The county governments are doing the same thing which does not help Kenyans. This is because we have not put the basket together in a helpful ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Once this Bill is assented to, as a country, we will have proper finances to respond to drought. We will have finances that can help citizens in this country. In most drought cases, the Government tries to come up with different strategies to ensure we have dealt with the drought issue without having a proper manner to guide the country in solving the problem. With the passage of this amendment, I believe we can have a proper framework to provide financial response to drought in this country and in a manageable manner. Unless we do that, we will help Kenyans. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Every time, we run around whenever there is disaster instead of preparing ourselves. I believe this is a worthy amendment that we required over the years, so that we can utilise the budget under the NDMA which has not been utilised over the years simply because we do not have legislation in place. I believe this will help Kenyans at this particular time when we are facing a lot of challenges. Soon we will have drought but recently we have been running around because of floods. I believe this is a worthy process where especially communities in Arid and Semi- ... view
