• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Mover of the Bill for reserving some five minutes for me to second it. In support of this Bill, I would like to say that wildlife is our national heritage. Many countries are not proud because they do not have wildlife. Therefore, we should be proud of this important national heritage. As my colleague said, tourism earns this country a substantial amount of money through foreign exchange. Tourism, indeed, contributes greatly to our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore, we must protect wildlife in this country. The Jubilee Government promised ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: them employ more rangers to protect our wildlife. The question that we must be asking ourselves is how to ensure that the communities living within wildlife areas can benefit from this resource. I want to believe that there is a formula of ensuring that monies raised by the Government can be shared between the national Government, the county governments and the communities within wildlife conservation areas. Therefore, we need to look at the benefit sharing agreement and ensure that all the communities within wildlife conservation areas are taken care of. As I have said, we need to support the Government ... view

In supporting this Bill, I would like to say that as a Committee, we have gone through it, we have received some comments and views from various stakeholders, and we are still compiling the list of amendments which we intend to propose in the next stage, which is the Committee Stage. I would like to say that a few days ago we were here debating the Kenya Information and Communications (Amendment) Bill. After listening to various stakeholders as a ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: . We should listen to the parents who are raising issues with regard to the content of some FM radio stations in the morning when they air very interesting topics. We should also listen to Kenyans who are complaining about what appears on our television screens when they are watching with their children. Therefore, let us listen to the media fraternity, parents and all Kenyans and we take into consideration all their views. As I have said earlier on, laws are made for the benefit of all Kenyans. Each set of laws which is made by this House is presumed ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: listening to the parents who are complaining. We are also listening to all Kenyans. We believe that when we bring the amendments to this House, all their interests will have been taken into consideration. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a few amendments which we proposed in this Bill include, but are not limited to the definition of the “Cabinet Secretary”. This Bill says “a Cabinet Secretary means the Cabinet Secretary responsible for matters relating to the media.” However, we are amending that so that it means the man or lady in charge or responsible for matters of information, communication and ... view

• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I remember this issue was addressed two weeks ago and I informed the House that, indeed, we got some response from the Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication and Technology. As a Committee, we were not satisfied and we requested them to get us more information on the same. The answer they gave us was like all the former employees of Telkom Kenya Limited had been paid, but we wanted more information. We are still waiting for the Cabinet Secretary to give us more information, because the answer we received was not sufficient. We should be ... view
