• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. As the Chair has said, it has taken a very long time for us to have a Bill or a Motion on wildlife in this House. I think this Bill is very timely. I congratulate the Chair for moving this Bill. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: First of all, I am delighted with what she has said. This is because this Bill will provide legislative framework for the protection of wildlife which is very important. Some of us who have had a chance to go out of this country when you say that you are coming from Africa and particularly Kenya, they tell you that this is a country of wildlife. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I think this Bill will go a long way to help us conserve some very important wild animals. For example, we used to have white elephants in Mount Elgon but they are not there today. I have had a chance to see white rhinos in Embu but they are not there these days. They have almost become extinct. We had tigers in this country but because of lack of a legislative framework, some of them have become extinct. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want us to take this Bill very seriously and have these amendments as soon as possible because wildlife provides employment. Most of our children are employed at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and private The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: conservancies. This country has also benefited in terms of foreign exchange. Let us get it very serious and have punitive measures against those who are involved in poaching. You can see how dangerous it has been because we have been losing a number of wildlife. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The other thing that has been mentioned that I also want to talk about is the water towers. This Bill will, again, help us to protect water towers like the Mau and Cherengany, and I can see my neighbour from this place is here. We get water from Cherengany all the way to Lake Victoria. That water tower has been destroyed because of encroachment by human beings. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: We also have human-wildlife conflict but this Bill, as moved by the able Chairlady, will take care of this problem. I support this Bill because I know that it will make us proud as Kenyans. I saw wild animals in a zoo when I was in the Far East whereas here in Kenya, you will go to Nairobi Animal Orphanage if you want to see all the wild animals. I am saying this because I want my grandchildren and great grandchildren to see wildlife the same way I have done and they will appreciate. This should be the case instead ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Lastly but not least, I am not happy with the compensation aspect. You cannot compensate human life with Kshs5 million. That should be improved when the Bill comes to the Third Reading. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Bill. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to give information to the hon. Member on the Floor. view
