• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. The Member went to a funeral. It was a bit urgent and so, he left a Statement request for me to make. Pursuant to Standing Order No44(2)( c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the procurement by the National Police Service of a modern communication control system in 2006 to replace the outdated microwave truncate radio communication system. The Government of the day formed a technical committee on procurement comprising of the National Police Service, Communications Commission of Kenya, Telkom Kenya Ltd, Safaricom ... view

• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker. I have no objection because I was not given further details I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to stand in for him. view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my voice to this debate. This is because I find this Bill to be very good in terms of wildlife. I think it covers everything that is wildlife in a very good way. But if you look at the KWS in Kenya, every wildlife expert will tell you that wildlife does not exist in isolation, they exist with human beings and wildlife parks are surrounded by communities. In fact, in Kenya, it is estimated that 75 per cent of wildlife actually lives outside the national parks. It is for that ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: needs of wildlife with the needs of the communities that live around national parks. It is for that reason I have an issue with Section 89 of the Bill. If you look at Section 89, it starts by saying: “Any person who---” meaning everything within that section is actually an act attributable to a human being. It is clearly so apart from number (f). If you look at number (f), it is out of place compared to the rest of the parts of Section 89. Everything else is attributable to human being because they enter the national parks, they set ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, grazing is not an act of human beings, livestock move and it is not like cultivating a farm is a national park. Animals like livestock stray into national parks. In my view, it is so punitive to punish a herdsman whose livestock strays into a national park by putting him in jail for two years simply because his animal has strayed into the national park. This is likely to be abused. Unless that section is repealed, we should build prison cells for our herdsmen because they cannot control the livestock from straying to the national parks. ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is also another aspect of compensation. If we were in the USA today, I think we can borrow something--- I am using this analogy of the USA drug trade because today, in the USA, if you are caught having a drug and being a consumer of a certain drug, the punishment is so distinct from being a drug dealer. In this Bill, there is no separation of our people who kill wildlife because they get into trouble along the way when they are taking care of their livestock. Those people are actually not like the ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. I really need your guidance because of a few things that were raised today. I have always believed that whether you are in the committee or not some of these questions that are being asked by Members are actually questions that are important for our entire country. So, we benefit by Members asking questions even if we are not in committee. I am not sure whether I got it right. I thought somebody said that if you are in that committee, you should just deal with questions in the committee. I do not think it is very beneficial ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I sympathize with our friends from Mombasa because I experienced a similar thing. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are loud consultations. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rose to seek a clarification because a few days ago, actually last Thursday, I experienced something that I thought I would never see in a country that I love very much. view
