• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think within two weeks, we can check and see whether we can get the data. But you have to realize conservation of wildlife has actually been moving from one Ministry to the Office of the President. view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am rising to answer a supplementary question which the Minister had answered twice previously. He was asked to come back owing to the fact that he had informed this House that there were consultations going on between my Ministry, the Ministry of Lands and the Ministry of Transport to discuss issues and agree on where the particular southern by-pass is going to pass through within the borders of Nairobi National Park. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, between the 9th and 24th of August, a technical team of the relevant Ministries, which I have just mentioned, held ... view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to state here categorically that no encroachment has happened on the national park, and that Nairobi National Park has 117 square kilometers, and the northern, eastern and western parts have fences. We are saying that proper procedures, which include NEMA giving its okay, a Cabinet approval through the Cabinet memorandum and a Motion being tabled in the House to be debated; that will have to take place. Unless that is done, I want to assure this House that the boundaries of the national park will remain intact. view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I may not have much to say about the railway line because it is outside the national park--- view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Question that was brought here was about whether the boundaries of the national park have been altered or not. I have said categorically that they have not been altered and I still stand by that position. view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the railway reserve, which I believe is the proposed road reserve, is outside the preserve of my Ministry. Nevertheless, the technical committee that involved the Ministries of Land, Transport and Roads has actually recommended that that option should be looked into. I believe that the relevant Ministries are going to pursue it. However, if we are going to pursue the option of wanting us to ease some piece of land from the national park, then the proper procedures have to be followed including a review of the NEMA Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) licence and the subsequent ... view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as usual, I am always a very prepared Minister. I want to table a copy of the final technical report done by the various officers from the inter-Ministerial committee. I also want to table a copy of the NEMA licence plus the map of the Nairobi National Park. With regard to the supplementary question asked by hon. Kabogo, I think there are opportunities for expanding the national park to include the dispersal corridor arrears towards Isinya and Kitengela. Ever since I joined this Ministry, that is, four-and-a-half years now, we have been seeking funds that will ... view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have tabled a map. However, if the hon. Member feels he needs additional information - he is my friend - I could provide it to him. I would like to ask him to look at what has been already tabled and in case he finds any information missing, he should not hesitate to contact me.

• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 12th August, 2012, two rangers were conducting routine patrol duties at 7.00 a.m., in Chebiemit Forest when they came across two people who had illegally cut tree logs and were preparing a kiln to convert the logs into charcoal. When they were challenged to stop what they were doing and surrender themselves to the forest rangers, one of the two persons proceeded menacingly towards one of the rangers and attacked him. He injured the ranger by cutting his right arm which was holding a rifle. The ranger, in pure self-defence ... view
• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with hon. Lucas Chepkitony no further that probably, there may have been some misunderstandings in view
