• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: This is not a lie. In fact, all the Members of Parliament from Mombasa have compiled a report, which they are going to bring to this House. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. That act was so barbaric. If we are going to give power to the I-G, you can imagine what is going to happen. That incident happened and we saw even young children being arrested and taken to the police station. They were very innocent and did not even know who Al shabaab are. They just hear about Al Shabaab and terrorism. They do not even know what terrorism is. So, if you are going to give power to the I-G--- view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will leave that to the report that is going to come to this House. It will be make it clear for everyone to understand. My point is that giving power to the I-G is going to make us look like we created something and then did not give it power to operate. We did not give it the mandate and make sure that it operates within its mandate. So, we have to make sure that every Kenyan is secure in this country. We have to make sure that the I-G and the National Police Commission ... view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, hon. Mwadime’s amendment reads “the Board may appoint persons from the communities living in the wildlife areas”. So, the contentious word is “may”. So, the further amendment to his amendment should have been “the board shall appoint persons” to make it mandatory for the Board to appoint persons from the communities living in wildlife areas. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the Chairman of the Committee that Members of Parliament should not sit on that board. The board is well represented. There is a representative from the county governments and there will be four persons not public officers, but knowledgeable in wildlife matters enumerated by the community wildlife association within the area through an electoral process. This is to give a chance to the people who live in the community to be part of this board. Ours is to oversee and ensure that this board is doing the job it has been mandated to do. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am supporting what hon. F.K. Wanyonyi was saying. This is because anybody who is put in charge of wildlife or anything else for that matter and commits an offence, the penalty should even be more severe than the ordinary mwananchi. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Committee for the good work that they have done and also the idea of constituting the county people especially in the board that will deal with compensation and conservancy. That is very important because from now henceforth, the communities will feel like they are part and parcel of preserving our wildlife and also part of the idea of coming up with the institute. As they expand that, later on they can build some in counties where we have huge areas of national parks. Thank ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairpersons of the Committees on Environment and Natural Resources and Labour and Social Welfare on the state and condition of the mining sites and the rights and welfare of the mine workers in the country. In some mining sites in Kenya, workers are facing serious violation of human rights from the employers whereby they are physically abused, subjected to poor working conditions and even in some cases, there is late or no payment for services offered by mine workers. The Chairs of the ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: on Environment and Natural Resources and Labour and Social Welfare should urgently inquire and report on the state and condition of mining sites in the country; two, violation of welfare and rights of workers in mining sites in the country, in particular Kasigau Mining Sites in Voi Constituency, Taita Taveta County and thirdly, the steps taken by the Government through the Ministry of Mining to operationalise the Mining Act, 2012. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I partly agree with the Chair that the issue on violation of human rights is a very grave one. I have enough information that I will give to the Committee because it touches on women. The way women are being mistreated in Kasigau area in a particular mining site, needs very urgent attention because what is happening there is a very sad situation. I will, therefore, appear before the Committee and give more information on that. Thank you, hon. Speaker Sir. view
