• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that is a very good suggestion. I will ask the hon. Member to put the request in detail. We will then look into it and give him a feed back. view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this answer is not ready. We beg to be given two weeks because we have to get the file from Wajir where the case was being handled. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a)The Government involved the local communities in the establishment of Tsavo West National Parks through Legal Notice No.17 of 6th April 1948 and Legal Notice No.23 of 29th September 1953. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) acquired title deed for Tsavo West National Parks in the year 2002. This is Grant No.CR36021, LR.No.24360. There is no other title issued on the same land. (b)My Ministry, through the KWS, is committed to minimising human/wildlife conflict in the Tsavo conservation area and has taken the following steps:- The Tsavo Conservation Area Management has deployed personnel ... view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this national park was gazetted, as the hon. Member said, in 1948. In 1953 a Legal Notice was issued. Neither were we also there at that time. Right now, the biggest problem that we are experiencing in this country is encroachment of humans onto wildlife migratory corridors. This is increasing human/wildlife conflict. So, it is upon us to discuss with the community to convince them why the park boundaries have been mapped as they are. This is done for their own benefit. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is definite because most of all these requests for putting up electric fences and mapping out the boundaries of national parks are done in consultation with local communities. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the new Bill that we have reviewed with stakeholders, one of the issues that is being addressed is the compensation issue to a point where the compensation amount has been increased to Kshs1 million. However, this Bill has not yet been approved by Cabinet. Once it is approved, we hope to table it in this House and hon. Members will make constructive comments to it, so that we have a new compensation package. I concur with the hon. Member that what is in the current law is very low. That is why we were reviewing ... view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have to realize that the Ministry through the KWS does so many community social responsibility programmes in the forms of schools, water and many others. But a lot of the tourism money that is generated from these parks gets back to the Treasury. I believe that all of us draw from that package in the form of the money that is allocated to our different constituencies. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if I was to give that answer, we would be here the whole day because we have done a lot for the local community. Through the KWS, we have initiated schools, health centres, roads and many other projects. But if the hon. Member wants me to enumerate all of them, I can give him the list--- view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I said, if he wants me to give the details we will be here a whole day answering one Question because the details are so many. I can give him the details much later if he wants them, because in every area where we have a national park and game reserve, we have community social responsibility programmes that have been undertaken by the Kenya Wildlife Service. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are two questions. Regarding the first one, I will give the hon. Member the details much later on community social responsibility projects, of what we have done around the park. The second one is that I can assure him that every national park conservation area has an aircraft stationed there, and they are doing surveillance every week. Sometimes every three months they do headcounts of the wild animals within the national parks. view
