• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: going children in this country will be aware and will begin from the onset, at the early stages of their lives understand the need to conserve our environment. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge the national and county governments to include the Scouts and Girl Guides Associations in schools, so that they can help us with matters of environmental management. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the biggest threat to our rivers is urbanization and management of solid waste. A number of towns in this country lack proper sewerage system and you find all the raw sewer being discharged into our rivers. If we do not mitigate this matter by ensuring that all major urban areas, towns and cities are provided with proper sewer lines, our rivers are going to be continuously polluted. view
• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: I propose that even in towns and cities where we have rivers that run across, there is need for change of policy under urban planning to ensure that all rivers become the frontage of the homes and all the commercial centres, so that there is no waste being dropped in the rivers when it becomes a frontage. view
• 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
