• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: The other issue has got to with the County Wildlife Compensation Committees (CWCCs) that Sen. (Dr.) Milgo spoke about. I remember earlier on in this House, there was a Motion seeking to have the compensation of those Committee Members implemented. Whatever is written in law should always be implemented. These people are not working because they are not being remunerated yet, it is very clear that for you to be able to work--- These Committees are very important and they have to work with the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, the county governments and with all hotels doing business in ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Finally, I hope all of us will support this Motion. I want to reiterate on the need to ensure that the Government allocates funds. It is about time that the Chairperson of the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialisation to invite the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Tourism and Wildlife to sit down with other stakeholders like the KWS. This is so that when they are formulating their budgets, these issues are taken into consideration. This is because unless this is done and a supplementary budget is brought in to take into consideration all these things, our resolutions could end ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: We need to think about issues that will have an end such that we already have the figures and we know the people who are supposed to be compensated. On a daily basis my father calls me saying: „My son, please go to the Attorney-General for me to be paid.‟ In the event that the Maasai end up deciding to kill the animals, it will become another big disaster in this country. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion. I hope that the time frame, the 90 days given, which is proposed in this Motion, will actually be implemented so that people can coexist. The Maasai have for decades coexisted with animals in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve and in Amboseli National Park. When you go to Maasai land, no wonder in most cases you see these advertisements like the one for Safaricom where a view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: is standing there with lions just passing there and he says: „If I were you, I would not pass there.‟ Yet, they just by pass them. It shows that once we work together, we can coexist with wildlife so that we can all benefit. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is sad, and these are facts, that a majority of the tourism dollars that get into this country – and it all looks into the issue of our animals – leave this country. We do not want it to leave alongside human life. That is sad. We must seriously think about this. This time round, I want to encourage Sen. Mwaruma, that immediately we adopt this Motion and once the Senate resolves, we move expeditiously to ensure that the 90 days given to the relevant stakeholders who will report to this House on the implementation, will bring some results. ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to give my thoughts on this. I rise to support this Petition because of the strength that it has in building our economy. Protecting farmers is one of the most important things. When we were growing up, we used to read about the coffee farmers. We would also read about children who were going to school because their parents were growing coffee and tea. At the moment, despite the amount of land that the farmers have, they still call us, as leaders, to go and fundraise for their kids to be taken ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: One of my pet peeves is that we give a lot of empty promises during the campaign period. Last year, farmers in Narok and Kajiado were promised that those who were affected by the drought situation in this country would have the loans that they had with Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) written off. Until today, farmers in Narok and Kajiado are still suffering. Therefore, this Petition is timely. Agriculture is now a devolved function hence it is imperative for the county governments to develop legislations that will ensure that we look at the entire chain of supply when dealing with ... view
