• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Seeing the mood in the House, I have no doubt that all the seven individuals are going to be approved by this House, but I want to insist that when we come back in February, we must look at the rules around areas of public participation, so that we cannot allow busy-bodies to malign the names of people who are given an opportunity to serve the people of Kenya. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I support and I urge the House to support. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill on Forest Conservation and Management. A forest is a very important resource in this country and all of us should be in the fore- front in conserving it. At the same time, we should not really focus on the official forests only because at the end of the day, what we are actually aiming at is to ensure that our forest cover in this country is up to the internationally accepted standard. We should give incentives to Kenyans to plant more trees within ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: We should look for a system where we can actually offer incentives to individuals so that they can plant up to 10 per cent of their land with trees. In my constituency, a big chunk of land is covered by a forest. However, that forest is not celebrated by my constituents because most of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: the time, it has negative effects. People complain about the benefits. Given that this is actually a resource Bill, we should introduce a very clear way of how communities will share the benefits accruing from the resources. We should indicate clearly whatever percentage the local community will get so that the resource is seen as a blessing rather than a punishment. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have a big problem because this Bill indicates that to participate in harvesting forest products, we should have a certain capacity. I have a problem there. We should introduce a classification of how one ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this has improved the benefits given to the forest associations. We should have a requirement that forest associations must have membership, taking into consideration the same classification I was talking about. In many places, including in my constituency, the forest associations are formed by a certain clique of people, who exclude the minorities and the youth. The youth do not benefit from such associations. Having listed many benefits that will accrue to forest associations, including but not limited to setting up industries that will use forest products to run, the minorities will not benefit if we ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I support the setting up of a cultural and recreation centre at a place called Kiletien, which is also a raised hill. This will encourage training of our athletes there. The Bill allows for use of forest cover for the good of the people. This is a good Bill, but we have to make amendments to ensure that communities living around those forests benefit more. I support the Bill. view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. I also rise to support this ratification agreement. However, there is no reason whatsoever why our country is one of the most expensive countries to import or export goods. The reason for this is lack of efficiency. In trade, a lot of costs are associated with inefficiencies. Most of the costs are related to holding stock. If you know that it will take a lot of time to get your goods to Kenya, you will tend to stock more. If you stock more, there will be a lot of costs related ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: care of that, then we will loss as a country. Even multi-nationals all over the world move towards synergies of services. In most cases view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I take this opportunity to congratulate this House for the work done. I wish that we continue like that in the next year and even get sharper. I also wish to bring to the attention of the leadership of this House that some of the times, the priorities have not been right. Let us get our priorities right so that those important Bills come early. I also wish to ask the people of this country to continue keeping peace. Let us be together. The people of Kericho and Bomet County have been working together. Let us continue working together even ... view
