• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have heard the response, but I am sorry it is not meeting what I had asked. One, most of these claims were for the year 2014. Most of them have not been paid to date. As we speak, I received a call in the morning that elephants are still roaming freely in people’s farms and homes. So, when you say that there are teams out there working on them, I do not want to agree with that answer. The elephants are still roaming freely in people’s farms. They are still destroying people’s tanks. They are ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: done on the ground. I would have expected that the Committee would even suggest that they will come down to see what is going on on the ground so that we are able to see and learn from the ground the damage that is being caused by elephants and other animals in my area. Regarding the water tanks that have been destroyed, I expected that the matter would be addressed immediately by having those tanks replaced by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Finally, the last time I met the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Tourism he talked about needing Kshs3.5 billion ... view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2) (c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on the escalating cases of human-wildlife conflict in Voi Constituency. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: In the last two months of May and June, a number of human-wildlife conflict cases were reported in Voi Constituency, Taita Taveta County. The cases arise as a result of marauding elephants from Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks. They invaded Mbololo and Ngolia locations, as well as Kasigau, Miasenyi, Marungu and Lower Sagala areas, causing injuries and loss of lives to the people, and destroying crops and properties. Thus, it affects community livelihood. In some cases, the elephants also impose curfew in the villages. The Government, through the Ministry of Wildlife and other related agencies, has not addressed ... view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on the following: (i) What measures are being taken to bring these human-wildlife conflicts in Voi Constituency, particularly in Mbololo and Ngolia locations as well as Kasigau, Miasenyi Marungu and Lower Sagala areas, to an end? (ii) What measures are being taken to compensate the families which are affected by this human-wildlife conflict in Voi Constituency? (iii) Could the Ministry consider compensating victims of the said human-wildlife conflict which has been pending for the last five years, despite claims having been ... view

• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: This human-wildlife conflict is always raised by Members. So many Members of Parliament, even from different counties, ask this question. However, we do not see anything tangible. The last one was asked by Hon. Jessica Mbalu who is my neighbour in Mtito Andei. We do not see any action from the Ministry or Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Everything green in the villages has been destroyed by elephants. Nowadays, they do not want water from their water points. They drink it from people’s water tanks which are outside the houses. It is a serious matter. view

• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support Hon. Baya’s amendment because coconut and cashew nuts are the mainstay of the coastal people, especially in the coastal strip. This has really helped the coastal people, but because the crops are not recognised, they are not getting full value. So, I support. I am not just supporting because it is a coastal matter, but because it is a national matter for everybody. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
