• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: (a) Samburu Lodge is located within the Samburu National Reserve and is 40 kilometres away from the main road. The national reserve is inhabited by wildlife in their natural habitat. Movement of persons within the reserve is, therefore, restricted for reasons of safety and security. There is no electric fence from the riverside and the river is inhabited by crocodiles. In the above circumstances, visits of spouses and children are regulated. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: (b) There is no violation of workers' rights as the arrangement for visits is in place for the safety and the security of the workers. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us understand the fact that the issue of security is to avoid injuries. If the employees take their children to the park, they roam around and they get hurt, then this is bad for their families. This restriction is not only for the parks. This is being practised even by the United Nations (UN) in places like Lokichoggio and Dadaab where the employees are not allowed to go in with their families. The management caters for the employees' housing allowance. view

It was in the collective bargaining agreement. It was also seen that to allow children into the park where are no schools will not be useful to the families. So, it was agreed that the workers should be paid some house allowance and be housed outside the park for security reasons. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathise with this case. I know that there are parks which have no restrictions. But this particular lodge has these restrictions because of the reasons that I have given, for example, the river is infested by crocodiles and they have not fenced the area. Maybe I could visit this lodge and look at the collective bargaining agreement. The workers agreed to these rules. I can look at the rules and see whether we can agree on some terms amongst the two parties. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this will be done sometime in January next year. view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. This Motion seeks leave of the House to introduce a Bill that would want to change the way we look at training and provide service to the livestock keeper. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come from the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) areas of this country. The Mover has already indicated that 30 per cent of the agricultural production in this country come from livestock and 90 per cent is beef production. This country must put a lot of effort ... view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, ten minutes or five minutes. view
