As a Committee, we feel that there is need to ensure that they are enhanced for sustainable waste management in our country. There will be an amendment to that effect. Also, the Bill does not provide for e-waste management. Therefore, there is need to provide for it in the Regulations when the Bill goes through. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having considered the Sustainable Waste Management Bill (National Assembly Bill No.22 of 2021), the Committee recommends that the House approves it with amendments as proposed in the Schedule contained in the ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: I have listened to the Chair of the Committee as he moved this amendment which is straightforward. The legislation is dealing with an issue that is of national interest and trying to annul some of the levies which were earlier published under different legal notices.

They have given the necessary scrutiny on the impact of this decision on the Kenyan society at large and also in terms of the revenue that the State needs to collect for it to manage this country.

There are serious security issues in that region with Al-Shabab militia; and now we have enhanced tribal conflicts over diminished natural resources. Now, in addition to that, we have these serious drought emergencies. It is really a region in crisis and this country really needs to support these counties ... view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support and second the Irrigation (Amendment) Bill of 2021. The Irrigation Act was assented to in 2019 to repeal the archaic Irrigation Act Cap 247 of the Laws of Kenya. As with other sectors, the irrigation sector was highly affected after the 2010 Constitution was promulgated. As a result, a number of legislations had to be aligned with the new Constitution. In particular, to conform and embrace devolution. The Act of 2019 was meant to streamline the development, management and regulation of irrigation and to support ... view
