• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on NEMA and WARMA we made the following observations: NEMA failed to cooperate with other government agencies such as WARMA during the environmental impact assessment processes instead of having a structured consultation and seeking its concurrence as a key government agency. This was causing conflict between the two agencies as they issued conflicting licences to projects proponents. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: In addition, NEMA found out that there was dumping in the ocean as attempts to decommission Kibarani dumpsite got underway. It issued restoration orders to Mombasa County Executive Committee Member (CEC) in charge of the Environment, which was ignored. The dumping and pushing of the solid waste into the ocean continued unabated. NEMA had therefore failed in its duties by not stopping the dumping of the solid waste into the Indian Ocean during the decommissioning of the Kibarani dumpsite. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: NEMA approved reclamation of land from the ocean at Kibarani but failed to follow up to ensure that the licensees stuck to the conditions of the licences, including the approved sizes for reclamation. This is a clear dereliction of duty. There appears to have been laxity on the part of NEMA after issuing conditional licences to developers. There was no proof of follow-up inspections and monitoring to ensure that the conditions set in these licences were adhered to. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: In accordance to Section 143 (1) (b) of the Water Act 2016 and the Sixth Schedule, Part A of the Water Resources Management Rules 2007, WARMA issued order No. 002680 dated, 8th July 2018 to stop levelling and pushing of the garbage into the sea. However, the said orders were ignored. 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
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: The WARMA denied issuance of licence for canalisation at Ukay Center and South End Mall. However, clear records by proprietors of the Ukay Center indicated that the agency had licensed the canalisation. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, I am. There appeared to be a conflict between NEMA and WARMA. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are a number of recommendations that we have given in the Report; it is very clear. But the major problem is the legal framework. The laws in this country are really conflicting. It was evident that a number of legislations with a bearing on riparian reserves management, provide different distances depending on the sector’s mandate and priority. This has therefore jeopardised the enforcement of these laws and therefore causing encroachment to the wetlands and the riparian areas. The overlaps in the various laws with respect to the definition of riparian areas was causing a major… view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for your generosity. On the issues of the overlapping laws which is a major problem, we are calling upon the Ministry of Water and Sanitation and other stakeholders between the Nairobi City Council, the Attorney-General and others to really come together and ensure that they have managed our loss as far as the conservation of riparian land is concerned. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: I beg to move. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, I call upon Hon. (Ms.) Sophia Abdi, the Member of Parliament for Ijara and who is the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee to second. view
