• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: There is always a tendency in most of the towns in Kenya to make the rivers the back end of the compounds. Therefore, it is easier to dispose your waste through the back end of your compound because the rivers have been made to be at the back end. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: We should not encourage the cycle of cleaning Nairobi River after five years, then it is left like that until the next five years and in the meantime we have waste and garbage being dumped into the river. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for sustainability, I want to propose to the County Government of Nairobi to convert all properties that touch Nairobi River to make the river the frontage of those properties. That way, we shall minimize the waste that is being thrown into the rivers. That will save the Government and generations the funds that are being used after every short period of time in creating institutions that are going to clean and maintain Nairobi River. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: Finally, as I conclude, counties are meant to mainstream the issue of climate change in the County Integrated Development plan (CIDPs). Even as counties do that, it is imperative through the coordination of the National Climate Council, that funds are also availed to counties to support this function. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you will be surprised that for the last five years, counties were being given Kshs11 million under funds for climate change. What is Kshs11million for a county like Turkana that is 66,000 square kilometres, is an ASAL area and needs a serious intervention to make sure we change the climate situation there? We want to ask the National Treasury and development partners to make sure that at least 60 per cent of the activities of climate change should be domiciled in counties because that is where the action is. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: I want to acknowledge what the Senator of Nandi said about my county, Moiben Sub-County, that it is actually the Sub-County that is letting us down in terms of forest cover. However, I want to assure this House that we have a robust plan as Uasin Gishu County to make sure that we increase our forest cover to more than 15 per cent within the next five years. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: We also want the Kenya Forest Service and the Ministry of Environment to enforce the 10 per cent forest cover requirement whether on public or private land. That way, even farmers endowed with more resources should convert part of their farmlands into forests, which can be commercial forests or indigenous forests for purposes of climate change. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: I beg to support this Motion and concur with my colleagues that those who have been nominated be appointed to serve in that Council, so that we are able to work on this matter of climate change. However, I emphasize that as we attend core conferences, African Nations must wake up and we must look the West into the eyes and squarely put the blame where it lies. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: There is no way America will be doing their manufacturing in China and claim that China is a leading polluter. There is no way the West will say Africa is not doing enough while they are the ones who destroyed our natural resources, went away with all the resources and now they want to tell us that we are responsible. Everybody must be given their fair share of the blame and in so doing, they must give their fair share of resources for fighting climate change. view
