• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The three divisions are within the Cherangany Hills Watershed which is experiencing environmental degradation due to encroachment by settlers and logging.

Meanwhile, three tree nurseries with a capacity of producing an average of 100,000 seedlings per year have been established at Sambirir, Kabetwa, Kapyego and Cherangany to address the environmental concern. (b) The Ministry has put the Authority under a performance contract in which development projects, programmes and activities are part and parcel of the ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is true and the hon. Member has correctly put it. But the problem is that Marakwet East and Marakwet West constituencies are under two regional development authorities; the Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) and the LBDA. I think there has been some misplaced understanding in terms of the boundaries; where each authority covers in the district. But I have assured the hon. Member that, that is going to be a thing of the past because there is a section around Cherangany that has been left by both development authorities and the boundary has now been put ... view

• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I would really want to thank the Mover of this Bill because this Bill is long overdue. I am sure that a similar attempt was made in the Ninth Parliament but it never saw the light of the day. This is the time when Parliament is really asserting its authority in terms of playing its legislative role. This is a piece of legislation whose time has come. I agree with him that this Bill should have been passed yesterday. view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am really happy with one of the proposals contained in this Bill – a lean Cabinet. I do not need to dwell so much on the merits of a lean Cabinet, because my colleagues who spoke before me have addressed the real issue of cost- cutting. More importantly, it is also good to have defined Ministries so that if you become President tomorrow, you will really know the existing Ministries in the Government of Kenya. This has happened all over the world. So, the aspect of defined Ministries, where we know the number of Ministries ... view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that it is good to have a lean Cabinet, I would even propose to the Mover that when it goes to the Committee stage, we can make it even leaner.

• 8 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the 24 schools benefitted from tree nursery planting around the Mau Forest. They were each provided with 5,000 litres of water tanks through the UNEP grant. The management plan for the forest was also done. They are from both Narok North and Narok South constituencies. The criteria used were in line with the UNEP grant. Part of that money was from UNEP grant. A baseline survey was done by the UNSDA around Narok only. They came up with those 24 schools for the two constituencies. view
