• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: As it is now, if we do not have that kind of policy, especially in the pastoralists area, then we are going to have a problem. That is why we have insecurity because we have youth who are not employed; youth who have gone to school and dropped out of the traditional livestock production system. Unless it is made attractive to them, it will be difficult to absorb these youths and that is why we are having problems with insecurity in our area. There are idle youth who can easily be engaged in this kind of activities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Faki for coming up with this Statement. I am a Member of the Committee on Roads and Transportation, and we will take it up. Once during a trip to the coast, I visited the old port. When we talk about Blue Economy, then there must be a place to land. The small- scale fishermen and transporters will not need to use the main port. There must be many such small ports along the coastline so that they can easily dock, drop and pick whatever they are dealing in. Even when it comes ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank, Sen. Nyamunga, for coming up with this Bill. I hope it will be processed through until it becomes an Act of Parliament before the end of the life of this Parliament. This Bill deals with the county resources development. For the last nine or so years, counties have mainly been depending on the resources allocated by this House from the centre; the equitable share. Looking at the reports by the Controller of Budget and the Auditor-General, you will find that the counties are even generating less than what the local ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: They need to access all the resources within the county, look at the means of exploitation in a sustainable manner of those resources, come up with the infrastructure requirements and the missing links so that they can easily generate their own resources. Some counties have capacity to generate whatever they are being given from the center now. It is only that they have not looked in that direction. There is need to have a Bill which turns their attention in that direction. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Section 5 of the Bill deals with the responsibility of the County Executive Committee Member (CECM). Therefore, it is clearly a function within the county. That the CECM in charge of resource management will have to do an evaluation and monitoring of the resources available in that county, come up with a way of exploiting those resources and, at the end of the day, have those legislations or the necessary approvals through public participation and through the county assemblies so that it is clearly anchored. It is a process they need to do maybe every year or they can do ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: If you look at counties like Marsabit, for a long time, they have been considered to be low potential counties because the country has been thinking agriculture. However, right now, you find that it is the next frontier of development. This is because we have many renewable energy sources like solar and wind. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: If we have the necessary legislation then the counties work with investors, they can easily generate what they are getting from the national Government as their own source revenue by going to partnership because they own the resources. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: When it comes to sharing, there was the National Resource Revenue Sharing Bill here in this House by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. I do not know how far it has gone in the National Assembly. It provided clearly how to share these resources among the national Government and the county government, or if it is a shared resource across one or two counties. If that is approved, then we can easily develop these resources and generate our own revenue. The commonly known livestock sector has not been developed at all. The counties considered that as a resource, not only in terms ... view
