• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: This Bill reaffirms the need for a national environmental report and county environmental report. Our committee has looked at this and fixed the years at the national level as six; at the county level every six years a report must be presented to the National Assembly for us to monitor the effects of development on our environment. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: This Bill is timely. It will now help NEMA, as a national institution, to interface with county governments and ensure that county governments undertake their functions under the Fourth Schedule with regard to the environment. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I pass my condolences to the bereaved families. view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not comprehend how 28 people can be killed. We heard that somebody was in a bus moving with the passengers and intelligence could not pick him. The intelligence services of Kenya must now be reviewed afresh. 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
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The Defence and Foreign Relations Committee of this Parliament must play their oversight role on the National Intelligence Service (NIS) properly to ensure that these people are working. There is serious problem with motivation among the police. I discussed with County Commander of Police in my county and I was appalled to hear that he is given Kshs.180,000 for three months to operate every quarter. I do not understand how a county commander can operate with Kshs.180,000 for three months. There is serious problem of funding security services in this country. This is where the Chairman of the Administration and ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: We must also address the salaries of policemen. People cannot offer you security and they are not paid. We must get the correct scheme of service for policemen. Blaming the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government, hon. ole Lenku is shifting blame. The only job that the President cannot delegate is offering security. Let us not shift blame to hon. ole Lenku. The people in charge of operation commands must be held accountable; CID, NIS, KDF and National Police Service. It is not the Cabinet Secretary who is doing accounting of money being sent to Ministries. People ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: One thing that this Parliament must do to help this country is to remove the Administration Police from the National Police Service and take them back to the National Government Administration Officers. Chiefs and District Officers must have APs for them to operate. That is when we will begin to get security back in check. With those few remarks, I support that this Parliament approves more finances and oversees the Ministry in charge of security very closely. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. We took time dealing with this amendment. I also belong to this committee, but I do not know why the hullabaloo about the three or five years because we also have the Director of Water. This is a director in the Ministry of Mining. He is not a director of a parastatal. Therefore, I do not think three years will suffice. This is because mining processes are long term issues and, therefore, we should not change directors after every three years. Possible renewal does not mean automatic renewal. If we will be changing directors after every ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I get hon. Ocheing’s problem. But even in the same amendment, we have created one other formal licence called the “reconnaissance licence”. So, we are creating an opportunity for any other types of licences not yet described, to be gazetted and created on the recommendation of the Mineral Rights Board. I would imagine one export licence for a mineral already mined. That is not already dealt with here, but can be gazetted and awarded on the recommendation of the Board. view
