10 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have looked at the letter that was tabled by my colleague, hon. C. Kilonzo, which he had written to the Commissioner for Domestic Tax at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), a Mrs. Alice Awuor. She indicates that her officers confirmed that Tinga Enterprises registered for a tax number online and obtained PIN No.P051333892J in July, 2010. However, the details of the directors of the same company are not in our records. Mr. Speaker, Sir, basically, we wrote to both, the Commissioner-General of KRA, Mr. Michael Waweru, and, the Registrar of Companies, Mrs. Bernice Gachengu, on the ...

In the second letter to the Registrar of Companies, we specifically indicated that Parliament has directed that the names of the persons responsible for the shipment be tabled. The purpose of this letter is to request you to take note of the matter as requested by Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, basically, the letter tabled by my colleague, hon. C. Kilonzo, has not specifically given any hint of the information on the directors of this particular company. We are still waiting for the Registrar of Companies and the Commissioner- General of KRA to give us detailed comprehensive information. We are even ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have said here previously, we are doing the best we can to contain this problem. Our rangers all over the country, particularly in protected areas, are taking stern measures to monitor. Our intelligence units are up in arms to make sure that they gather as much information as possible. In the airports of Mombasa and Nairobi, we have put in a team with sniffer dogs that has helped to arrest about 1,600 pieces of ivory over the last two years. Only a few days ago, we were notified that a huge haul of ivory was ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the custom export documents we tabled in this House indicate the number of companies that have been involved both in facilitating the consignee and the consigner of these documents. I want to indicate that we had Pacific International Limited based in Inscap House 2nd Floor, Mikanjuni Road off Mombasa Avenue of P.O. Box 43050 Mombasa, Muhaso Agencies Limited, Wakienda house, Meru Road, who facilitated the trans-shipment of this ivory. The directors are known. These are Edward Muhaso Muta ID.

10 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with the hon. Member that we have a problem that we need to resolve and which is what we are co-ordinating with the Ministries responsible for customs which are basically the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Transport which is responsible for KPA so that we can re-look at this matter and ensure that it does not take place once again. I want to emphasize the fact that the KWS and the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife do not export frozen fish. We do not export ivory because it is a banned product ...

10 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very unfortunate topic about the massacre of Turkanas in Turkana County and particularly in Todonyangâ. As the Mover of the Motion has just said, this matter happened on the 2nd of May. From our own records, apart from the one given by my colleague in Government which gave 20 as the number of lost lives, more than 50 Turkanas were massacred. We have to note in this House, and particularly in this country, that Turkanas are not second class citizens. They are citizens like ...

10 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our lack of policy focus and neglect of the burning issues relating to Lake Turkana may have contributed to the problem we have seen in Todonyangâ. You may notice that the waters of Lake Turkana have continuously been receding backwards. You have the Merille who believe that they always live in the delta area. The delta area used to be at the border of our country with Ethiopia. It has, however, moved inwards. Therefore, they have moved with the delta, thereby increasing insecurity. On top of this, our own colleagues in the Government have gone ...
