Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it was not part of the original Question. So, I am not prepared for that.

20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I apologize. I was reading from the Question that is on my answer paper. That was not answered, but I can say that all saw millers that were awarded licenses have paid royalties. That is what we are dealing with. It is about royalties for the volume of forest product that have been awarded to the qualified saw millers.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no rationale for exempting. If the hon. Member has extra information that I am not aware of, can he make that information available, so that we can look at it and see whether---

20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Forest Act (2005) that was passed by this House does not give my Ministry, through the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), the leeway to exempt certain royalties for any particular saw miller. If the Member has any information to the contrary, can he table it now in this House so that we can follow up and find out what the true story is?

20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, indeed, the programme for re-afforestation, particularly in areas where we have removed mature trees that have been given to the saw millers, is re-afforested. From this year, we have insisted that the saw millers, when they get a certain acreage of mature trees to harvest, they replant the same. We have equally allocated other areas for replanting of trees using Government funds and resources from development partners. As you know, the protected forest still has encroachers inside. It is still going to take quite a while to replant everywhere. On the positive note, that ...

20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. If this House considers the appointment of Mr. David Kimaiyo, it will restore the respect of Kenyans to the police force. The fact that he is also an insider and has a lot of respect within the force, I believe he is going to reform the Police Service. One of the key things that are ailing the police force is dealing with impunity. Insecurity is a problem, but it is about dealing with impunity, abuse of office, disregard of the rule of law, the rights of representation and ...
