• 2 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on the Petition on the encroachment of the Nairobi National Park. At the outset, I want to state that the Committee is seized of this matter in terms of the encroachment of the Nairobi National Park. We had scheduled a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary last Monday. It was unfortunately postponed. This Petition is timely because we can now deal with this matter holistically. We are seeing a lot of conflict within the Government agencies. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), which is the custodian of Nairobi National Park, is ... view

• 2 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Member for Wundanyi, Hon. Danson Mwashako, sought a Statement on mining royalties and community development agreements from the mining activities of large-scale miners, pursuant to Standing Order No.44 (2) (c).

• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I sympathise with Hon. Soipan and other Members because the issues of human-wildlife conflict have really caused a lot of problems in the country. My Committee has been seized of this matter of human-wildlife conflict through Questions and Petitions. We have also received a Question from Hon. Mwashako. I want to make an undertaking that we are going to prosecute all these issues within the next two weeks. Allow me to say that the bigger challenge which we have is the budgetary allocation towards the issue to do with human-wildlife conflict. In the next Financial Year ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this Petition by Hon. Korir. From the outset, I would like to indicate that the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources is already seized of this matter. We had a sitting yesterday where we requested the CS for Environment and Natural Resources to appear before the Committee this coming Monday so that he can explain to the Committee and the nation why he pronounced himself on this particular matter. The issue of Ngong Forest is extremely emotive, bearing in mind the fact that just the other day ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: which we tabled in this House is very clear on the same. The CS did not go there. We only saw him resurface in Ngong the other day. It is extremely unfortunate that whatever is happening in Ngong may happen elsewhere. We have gazetted forests and seven water towers in the entire country. We want to call upon the CS to inform the country on all the areas he thinks Kenyans have encroached into. I come from the slopes of Mount Kenya, in particular Chogoria, and I do not know if I live in a gazetted forest. It is extremely ... view
