• 25 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: cultural identity, values, beliefs and practices from older generations while ensuring that retrogressive norms and aspects do not infringe on their human dignity and ability to be productive members of the society? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me, as students of Alliance Girls’ High School leave, to congratulate and acknowledge them as an alumnus of the school. Thank you. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. From the outset, I want to commend the Committee. The Report is thorough and it enables us to have a clear indication of the key stakeholders that they engaged with and the objectives that are spelt out. They include the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Defence, the NLC, the Ministry of Lands, NEMA and Members of Parliament. As I look at the critical and strong foundation of the Committee in terms of their engagement, I would like to take note that the key issue when we talk ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: My submission to the Committee is that as we talk about strategy, we are, indeed, looking at a context of national and public interest. The manner in which we undertake to get this information and pull it together to share should be informed by the need to put the national interest and the security of the country first. Therefore, the work of the KDF would be taken into account. Hon. Speaker, looking at the information that we get from the Report, it is clear that the manner in which this was done is a bit untidy. Specifically, the NLC advised ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: issues are emotive, but also that we have unfortunately this behaviour where we try to include personal interests, so that if the land is going to be acquired by the Government, then we can get a lot more amount out of it. It is, therefore, not very strategic or prudent that we still find that the proposal is to acquire land in phases. Indeed, what this means is that we are alerting many more people not only of what would be information that should not have been discussed at such length in the public, but more or less setting them ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: some benefit and who might want to put personal interest or leave room for personal interests. We were told that we must be very careful as we look at tigers at the very top who might use their offices and might indicate, as we see in this case, that there is a certificate from NEMA. The same Report says that there might not be a certificate. We were told that we need to look at the swathes. My understanding was that this is the middle level where we might find people such as ourselves. We should also look at the ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to give my thoughts on this Report from the Committee. I support the Report, but with some clear reservations. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The first is with regard to the significance that is laid on the Centre. It emphasises that one of the key concerns will be capacity building. It also emphasises activities such as launching services like satellite tracking, communication services, data acquisition, surveillance and many others that have been going on. They seem to be domiciled in the Ministry of Defence whereas for the Italian Government, it is domiciled in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. My first submission and request to the Committee is that as we look at the Centre in its historical evolution from 1966 where it ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Second, I note that the attraction is on getting some economic gain from the 50 per cent of commercial yield from the equal status deal. If it gets the nod from the House and comes to fruition, Kenya will collect some good income of approximately US$250,000 or Kshs25 million in land rent from Italy. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I believe that whenever there is any undertaking, we should welcome income or some economic profit, but we should ensure that we do not, for the sake of getting some income, short- change the long-term investment of our young citizens and those who would be interested in space research. We should not look just at the income, but also get some impact that would accrue to the serious engagement and activities undertaken. I am saying this because part of what The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: we are talking about in Kenya is how we manage our land policy, the way we use land and the manner in which land is used that does not resonate with the priorities at hand. At the moment, food security is a key concern, but from the Government policy and private partnership engagements, we tend to appreciate or focus a lot on land usage that does not seem to reflect our desire to use it for agricultural purposes. view
