• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Counties need to look at this Bill. If they need to domesticate it, that is well and good, so that it specially applies to their counties. It is a good law which will ensure that there is harmony in this sector. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Seneta for bringing up this Petition concerning the plight of the workers at Nol-Turesh Water and Sanitation Company. Unfortunately, Kenyans are struggling to make ends meet. However, when they get a job and those who are supposed to pay them delay their salaries for eight months, I do not know how they expect them to keep themselves going. This is a straight forward case which requires the relevant Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to take it up and make sure that these companies pay their staff and most importantly submit their ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I would like to thank Sen. Mwaruma for coming up with this Motion. We sit in the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources and these are issues we discuss. We interacted with the Cabinet Secretary on this. When we talk of community wildlife conflict, most of the conflicts do not take place in the national parks. Actually they take place within the habitats of citizens of this country and not in the preserved areas. In this case, it is human beings being aggrieved ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: When it comes to the procedure for compensation, the law is very clear. We have the County Wildlife Conservation and Compensation Committees (CWCCC) which my colleagues have alluded to in their contributions. The committees were formed as a result of the first petition handled in this House. The committees have been formed according to the regulations which were prepared by the Cabinet Secretary. The period of the first committees lapsed in February, 2018. I think the petition which was here was about the chairpersons of those committees demanding to be paid honoraria. The Cabinet Secretary said clearly that they have ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: trying to use the law to make sure that the public does not benefit or people do not get their due rights. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mine is to urge the Senator to move an amendment to the Act and ensure that we put the 90-day timeline in the Act. This is because it now says: “Within reasonable time.” We have seen that reasonable time goes into five or six years. We need to have those 90 days in the Act, so that we have very clear timelines to be executed by the relevant persons or bodies. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: When it comes to the issue of funding, whenever we ask we are told that there are no funds. There are two funds in that Act. Section 24 talks of the Wildlife Compensation Scheme (WCS) under which we also have the Wildlife Endowment Fund (WEF), which is supposed to have monies allocated by Parliament. We also have an issue here. We are talking of the National Treasury setting aside adequate funding for compensation. How does that sit with the issue of money Bills? We are not supposed to come up with anything that has financial implications. So, we also have ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to comment on these Statements by Sen. Sakaja. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: I thank him and Members of the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for giving us a report of their county visits. That is what we need to be doing in the other Committees. On the issue of trade unions, there was a time we had nurses‘ strike that lasted long. I think one of the issues was the way they were being handled at the county level. We need to take into account the fact that we have laws, which allow our workers to form trade unions. It is a better way for them to negotiate. So, we ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: On the issue of following up on that, the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority should be able to give that report to the relevant Committee, in this case, the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration. I urge the Members of the Committee, and the Chair in particular, to follow up, so that we get this report after every six months and see how the counties and the national Government are doing in implementing this law. This is one way we can loop the women, youth and PWDs into the productive sector of this country by performing the necessary ... view
