• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, save me from Mbadi. What I wanted to speak on next is that the President has said: “Buy Kenya, build Kenya.” This spirit of giving the youth a chance should also be used to safeguard local businesses and local contractors. I have a situation in my constituency now where laying of pipes on an irrigation scheme is being given to a Chinese company. I think merely laying pipes can be done by any plumber and I have many of them in my constituency and Karachuonyo Constituency. Getting a Chinese company to come and lay pipes surely ... view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you are curtailing my capacity to debate. I am a member of this Committee and we had experts who came to explain to us how these two functions are supposed to help in managing wildlife. We also had 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
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: activists who raised their points. After deliberations, it is in the interest of wildlife conservation that these mechanisms be retained as a form or a way of managing wildlife. I would ask fellow Members not to conserve wildlife with emotions, but allow proper scientific management of wildlife in our country. So, without that, I oppose. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think the Mover is confusing something. The amendment is actually right the way it is on the Order Paper. We intended that the Service is the one which issues the permit and not the Cabinet Secretary. So, I prefer that the Mover goes back to the amendment on the Order Paper and prosecutes it. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. The offence is in conveying. If you convey into a protected area or you are found in a protected area, whether you have a licensed gun or not, the overall crime is that you have conveyed or you have been found within a protected area. So, being found in a protected area is the main offence. It does not make a difference whether you are found with a licensed or unlicensed gun. You are in a protected area and you are having a gun. We do not want to specify whether it is ... view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in discussing this amendment in the Committee, when the officer is an accomplice in the killing of category “A” animals, the penalty should be commensurate with that offence in the other section of the law. You can help us to graduate it here, but in this amendment, we mean that the officer taking part in an offence will be remanded to the level of penalty already specified. We have already said that if you get into the protected area--- view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am looking through to see Dr. Pukose’s New Clause24A but I think Clauses 97 and 98 were not deleted out of the deal altogether. They were relocated to another section of the Bill and they will be coming up soon. So, if the reason for the proposed new clause is because of the deletion of Clauses 97 and 98, I think we have treated Clauses 97 and 98 in 43. I do not know. Maybe the Mover can advise further. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman because we are not many of us here from the Committee, I would like to notify the House of the tremendous hours it took us to agree to delete this. We realized that the compensation mechanism will fail if we decided to include monkeys and baboons, especially knowing very well that it is very difficult to stop monkeys from destroying our crops. They are not animals that would trample on human beings like the elephants. We said those animals have a capacity to crush and crumble the compensation mechanism we are trying to achieve in this ... view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am sorry, we missed something in amending the Ninth Schedule. We talk of the Fifth Schedule and as you realise, they are not bundled together in the amendment. I do not know what we are going to do now that we have committed that schedule to the Bill. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we amended the Ninth Schedule by changing Category A, Fifth Schedule--- view
