• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First of all, I would like to thank the Committee for coming up with such good ideas. Energy is one of the resources that encourage investments all over the world. If you go to Ethiopia, energy is cheap and available compared to the situation in Kenya and many investors have gone there. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill will encourage investors to come to this country to start industries. One of the things that develop a country is industrialization. Industries create job opportunities, make life easier and enhance the provision of goods to the locals. This improves the standard of living for the people. Like fellow Members have said, energy is what grows an economy. People in the rural areas want to invest, but because of lack of energy, many businesses are closed early in the day. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: When we talk about the National Energy Policy, we expect the Government to review this policy after a particular time, may be five or 10 years. The country is growing and the world is also growing into a global village. We need to review the policy as stated by another Member. The situation in Baragoi has not been viewed up to now.

A Government that wants to development the country makes sure that resources like energy are supplied to all the areas. It has become routine ... view

• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First of all, I want to congratulate the Committee for doing a good job by making sure they consulted widely and involved stakeholders. It is one of the Bills that, if we pass, will be remembered in this nation. The pastoralist communities, as you know, still have unregistered land. The only way for us to protect these innocent Kenyans is for us to have such kind of a Bill where land can be protected for future generations. On the issue of ownership, I want ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: give county governments some powers on behalf of the community to deal with unregistered land. Another issue that I want to bring to your attention is with regard to Clause 29 on grazing rights. It talks about grazing rights to community land. The contentious issue is that the clause provides that a community can permit non-members to access grazing land within its land. This is a contentious area because fights between pastoral communities result from grazing issues. Even if we are not going to put regulations in the law, we need to see how communities that border each other can ... view
