• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the last paragraph. After compilation, the results were then forwarded to the Ministry for gazettement of the officers but this process has not been completed yet. In order for the ultimatization of the Act at the county level, KWS has facilitated the selection of four prescribed community members who shall sit in the county wildlife conservation and compensation committees. For the Act to be fully operational, KWS, in consultation with the conservation stakeholders, have identified a number of regulations that need to be formulated as advertised on 11th February, 2014, last month, in The ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue of operationalization of the Act is not actually a CSR. As I have stated in my answer in part (d), I know the process of making the Act operational has been delayed and I agree with Sen. G.G Kariuki, that I also note the delay. It is better late than never, because action started in November and December as contained in my answer. Some of the issues like the regulations were already put in the press in February, which is last month. I do not think that we can say that because ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am sure that the issue raised by Sen. Kagwe is not only common in Kieni, because I could also hear the Senator for Garissa whispering something similar. Even Sen. Wangari herself is talking about the harassment of women.

For example, when somebody was killed by an ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, if a process has already been taken and interviews have been carried out, persons have been notified, gazettement was done in February, I believe action has been taken. Instead of me giving this House another undertaking that could take another one month, I would give the sentiments of this House, as stated by Sen. Wangari, to the Cabinet Secretary to make sure that whatever action they have taken, must be realized. view

• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I concur with Sen. Kembi-Gitura that the issue of impunity over land is not new to all of us. With your permission, I have had a few questions from a few other Members and I would like to request that you give our Committee one week so that we summon the Cabinet Secretary and the National Land Commission so that we can get to the bottom of this matter particularly as regards the stoppage of the work which is going on because I do not think I have the powers to issue such orders. view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Actually, when I mentioned earlier that I had consultations with some other Members of this House, the Senator for Nairobi, Sen.
