Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the KWS sources funds from either the Treasury or the various development partners. It works closely with communities to provide labour to do the fencing.

6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will realize that since the beginning of the year we have managed to visit a number of hotspots. In addition to that, we are also beginning the long rainy season tree planting, which we will be launching on the 14th of this month. It is only a week ago, on the 24th, when we visited Shimba Hills National Reserve. We will go back there on the 18th for the branding of the park. I want to assure the hon. Member that within the next one and a half months we will be able to pay ...

6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. We realize the importance of national identification. Getting an identification card is the road towards getting a job. Without one, you cannot vote or get a loan. Virtually, you cannot do anything without an identity card. In the new constitutional dispensation that we passed last year, it is very clear that, that is a constitutional right for every single Kenyan. It should worry us in the Government and all the political leaders in this House that more than 15 million Kenyans do not have ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have to realize that the current identification card registration is so inadequate. It is so centralized in Nairobi. The system is very slow and cumbersome. Some areas are not even covered, particularly areas that do not have registration officers at the district headquarters. This is basically because we are told that to roll out the mobile registration into those areas, funds have to be provided. However, the Treasury has denied the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration

6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The whole reason why we are devolving national government functions down to the grassroots is because we, and Kenyans, have found out that the national Government cannot function when it is so centralized. We have been unable to provide essential services to the people. This is a critical function. I think the Ministry should decentralize the service down to the counties. That way, county governments, together with the national officers who will be posted to those counties, can be able to work closely and make sure that every single Kenyan who is above ...

2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly:
Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this adjournment Motion which I support. I know it is for a very short period of time; two weeks, and basically, they will make us reflect on a number of issues. Critical is the issue of the implementation of the Constitution. Last year, you remember the majority of Kenyans passed a new Constitution that has moved us away from the past, to the present and to the future. I believe no Kenyans want to hang in the past. I can only tell the minority who are hanging in ...
