• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill gives clarity and affects the powers and functions of county governments in terms of Article 110(a) of the Constitution of Kenya. It was interesting to hear the description by Sen. Mwaruma of poisonous and dangerous snakes. Section 76 of the Bill on the guidelines on incentives and benefit-sharing states that: - ‘The guidelines on benefit sharing shall comply with the minimum conditions that a minimum of five per cent of the benefits from national parks shall be allocated to local communities neighbouring a park.’ I am sure that even Nairobi County would like to benefit ... view

• 25 May 2021 in Senate: does not see that difference. The common mwananchi feels that some parts of this country are being treated unfairly if they are unable to benefit from what they have, whereas other counties are able to benefit from what they have. view

• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the determination of the minimum percentage of the benefits to be allocated to local communities shall be based on the gross total revenue and fees collected in respect to the protected area. Sen. Mwaruma tried to stretch that, but it makes sense because that is what is accruing from that area.
