• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in response to the clarifications that have been requested, first of all, you may realize that our Constitution has two levels of devolution; national and county. As I had said in my comprehensive Statement--- view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry together with the management of KWS considered various options. In the pre-2006 period when the KWS was recruiting rangers, we were doing it at the district level. The number of districts then was only 71 as opposed to four times that figure now. Secondly, we also looked at the budget cost of doing this. To recruit at the district or constituency level, it would have cost more than Kshs4 million, as opposed to the Kshs1.2 million which is the cost that has been incurred in the recruitment in 47 counties. But, you also have to ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not actually avoiding his question. I think this is a concern all over. Since 2008 when I was appointed to this Ministry, we have been making strong comments about the need for the KWS budget to be increased. This is because, basically, poaching and human/wildlife conflict have been on the increase. But we have not been able to recruit the 1,400 rangers that we need to meet the optimum number, for us to be able to undertake our responsibility. After perusing all options, we realized that going to the 287 districts would still mean recruiting ... view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your indulgence on this, following the undertaking by the Deputy Leader of Government Business yesterday for us to give the Statement today. Unfortunately, my officers have not finished preparing it. So, I seek your indulgence to present the Statement on Tuesday afternoon. view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I seek your guidance. When the Mover and the Seconder moves and seconds, the Motion is supposed to be read out. Is it in order for an amended motion to be brought before it has been read out? view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I believe this Motion is before the House in an orderly manner basically because the Government of Kenya--- view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to be loud enough. The Government of Kenya has been supporting the Sudan peace process. This is a country that has been in conflict for 38 years. The international community has come out to declare and urge the parties to the peace agreement to respect the referendum as part of the six protocols that were signed in Naivasha. So, I do not see any reason why this Parliament cannot continue to urge our Government and the parties to the comprehensive peace agreement to be able to accelerate their efforts towards the attainment of that ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) As per the current Wildlife Conservation and Management Act Cap.376, the only compensation the Government pays is for human injuries or deaths caused by wildlife. Section 62 of the same Act revoked compensation in respect of any damages to property by wildlife; hence, as the law currently stands, the only legal compensation as per the Act is in respect of human injury or death occasioned by wildlife. (b) My Ministry is, therefore, not in a position to compensate the Perfect Farms Limited for the loss as a result of destruction by ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the law is the law. We do not want to be in breach of it. As it stands now, there is no compensation for destruction of crops. However, we had noted this about two years ago and together with the stakeholders in the wildlife sector, we reviewed and proposed a Bill to be presented to this House. A couple of times, I have promised to bring the Bill here. However, it happened that after the promulgation of the new Constitution, we had to relook at the proposed Bills, so that when they come here, they are ... view
