• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this amendment is important because it is meant to deter those people who refuse to comply with the law. Sometimes we make laws and when it comes to the application, people have laxity. However, when we put some penalties where people will feel a bit of pain, then they are likely to comply. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support. view

• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: House, which is supposed to be a House for making legislation, ends up being a House for complaining. Almost every day, we are having Motions for Adjournment. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, please, protect me from hon. Shabbir. This is my time and he will get his time to contribute. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you for protecting me, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This House should not be reduced to a House of making noise and having Adjournment Motions everyday to discuss insecurity. It is high time we looked at the problem. Where is the problem? When you look at our security structures, we have the National Intelligence Service (NIS), the Administration Police, the Regular Police and other arms. It seems as if there is little communication amongst these different arms. As a House, we need to come up with legislation to cure this. It is also sad that in this House, many times, ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: a House of complaining, but a House that comes up with laws to bring co-ordination and sanity into our country. Action should be taken against the perpetrators. The police should also be protected. At the moment, they fear to take action against criminals. view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. It is important to know that this Bill is coming – although in my opinion it is late – to harmonise and bring the existing Act in line with the Constitution of Kenya. The Act which has been in existence up to now does not consider the changes that the people of Kenya gave to themselves through the new Constitution. view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: As I support this Bill, it is also important that once we pass it, it is implemented and the people given responsibilities must do what is demanded of them. We have the existing Act that we are amending through this amendment; there are so many things that are not working. There is a lot of money that is being paid to the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), whenever there is construction work due to the activities which demand impact assessment, or environmental audit. All this money is paid, but enforcement of the current Act--- There is very little in terms ... view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The environment encompasses everything and it is important to note that this particular Bill brings together various aspects related to land, wildlife, forestry and exploitation of mineral resources. They are all considered within this particular Bill. The fact is that we are establishing structures at the national level and devolving the functions of management of our environment to the county level. One thing that is left out of the process of devolution is that--- We are devolving and then coming up with things that make it look as if devolution ends only at the county level. There are supposed to ... view
