• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Research plays a very key role in agricultural production. All our agricultural research institutions are funded poorly. I would like to thank His Excellency the President for creating State Department for Agricultural Research under the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Fisheries. The creation of this particular department is a good starting point to enhance our investment in agricultural research as a country. Being an agricultural country and being very much dependent on agriculture in terms of our national income, it is important to appreciate that climate change is affecting our ability to feed our population. As we speak, large part of our Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) is food insecure today. It depends on relief food which is not provided in substantial quantities. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: If proper agricultural research is done in the part of our country which is arable, we will get appropriate plants, seeds and varieties and animal breeds. We will not only feed ourselves but also we can turn our country into a net exporter of food rather than importing food as a country. Therefore, I support the appointment of Prof. Hamadi who is a refined researcher and an accomplished academician. When I look at the Report of the Committee which assessed him for suitability for proposed appointment, we have no doubt that this particular new department which ought to have been ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, I support the appointment of Prof. Hamadi Boga. I thank His Excellency the President for creating this very important department which will enable us to allocate resources to research. Thank you very much. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support the Bill. It was put clearly by the Leader of the Majority Party as he introduced this Bill. It seeks to replace the Physical Planning Act of 1996. A lot of issues covered by the current Constitution and other laws such as the County Government Act, which was enacted after the promulgation of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, need to be captured in the new law. One specific thing is the role of the county government in the planning process. In the old Act, we had the local governments, which constitutionally had no much powers compared to the current county governments. This Bill has adequate provisions for guiding the county governments and specifying the roles of the County Executive Committee Member for planning in the planning process. Looking at the provisions of our current Constitution and the importance it attaches to public participation, unlike the Act it intends to repeal, this Bill enhances ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would like to support the Motion. From the very start, I would like to say that trees are like lungs to our environment. We all appreciate what deforestation and destruction of trees in our water catchment has done to our nation. Our rivers, as various speakers before me have indicated, are drying up. Rivers which used to be permanent like Ewaso Nyiro North have become seasonal and it has worsened the impact of climate change and resultant drought on our people. I would like to ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: allocate enough resources to them to execute their mandate. I think the starting point is to make sure that we allocate adequate resources for KFS and then we make sure that the resources that are allocated support compulsory planting of trees in learning institutions and other public institutions. To give opportunity to my other colleagues to contribute, I would like to say that I support this Motion. Hopefully, my colleagues, inasmuch as we do not have a direct management role in NG-CDF, let us encourage our committees to use the 2 per cent to ensure that our public schools and ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am Hassan, Member for Isiolo North, not Member for Isiolo South. I support the Building Surveyors Bill. In our country, in the last few years, a lot of buildings have collapsed in many of our towns and cities. Part of the reason we have experienced such disasters is because the various professions involved in the building industry have not been well regulated before the introduction of this Bill. Building surveying is probably one of the professions which are so crucial in ensuring that all buildings are safe for habitation. The The electronic version ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: profession lacks a law to regulate the practice. For that reason, I feel the Bill is very timely. Like one Member has said, one of the things which I feel should be clearly spelt out is membership, although reference is being made to who should be a member under Clause 21. We know that professionals are trained at different levels. We have the certificate level, diploma level, degree level and beyond. Probably, like other professions, we needed to have some clarity in terms of who qualifies to be registered. All in all, the Bill is quite okay in terms of ... view
