• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hydrography is a branch of applied sciences which deals with measurements and descriptions of the physical features of oceans, seas, coastal areas, lakes and rivers as well as the prediction of their change over time, for the primary purpose of safety of navigation and in support of all other marine activities, including economic development, security, defence, scientific research and environmental protection. view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: This is a very important aspect or branch of science that Kenya requires to survey the orderly exploitation of its marine resources. As a state party to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, Kenya is further obligated to collect, compile, publish and disseminate up to date nautical information and ensure the greatest possible uniformity in charts and nautical publications. view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Discharging these obligations requires membership to International Hydrographic Organization which sets the standards for hydrography co-ordinates hydrographic efforts and is the body recognised by the United Nations (UN) as the competent international organisation for hydrography and nautical charting. This Convention was approved a long time ago on 26th July 1991 by the Government of Kenya. The establishment of a national hydrographic office under the Department of Survey in the Ministry of Lands and the Kenya National Hydrographic and Oceanographic Committee (KNHOC) was established to coordinate the acquisition and dissemination of hydrographic information to maritime users. view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Kenya obtained an observer status at the International Hydrographic Conference, an organ of IHO since 1982. The IHO was established in 1921 and as at August 2019 it comprised of 92 member states. On 22nd November 2012 the Cabinet approved the application of the Accession to the IHO Convention. Let me go through a few articles of this Convention which are 23. Article I establishes the organisation and its headquarters in Monaco, France.

• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I thought I had many minutes in moving. I was saying DRC and the Dominican Republic are in suspension for not paying their dues up to date. Finally, it comes into force three months after the date on which 28 governments become parties. Currently there are 92 members. So, the convention is in force. With those few remarks, I beg to move and, with your permission, request Hon. Kwenya Thuku to second. view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank Members who have contributed. I want to make clarification between “accession” and “ratification”. Accession is accepting the offer or the opportunity to become party to the treaty when it is already negotiated. When it comes to ratification, it is the actual signing by the state to agree that they will be bound by the treaty. So, once approved by this House, the state will sign to ratify. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have two shares as a state. According to our tonnage and each of them, we will be paying in terms ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Report of the Committee and I cannot over-emphasise the importance of sports in this country. I am sure you know that sports have become one of the marketing tools of this country and that has placed Kenya as a country in the world map. Therefore, stadia, sports and all that is related to the sports industry is what our Government should emphasise, nurture and build for today's generation and the generations to come. When we came in, in the Eleventh Parliament in 2013 with the Jubilee Government, one of ... view
