• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to admit that this is a very embarrassing lapse for the Government. It undermines our national security. It is necessary that we get to the bottom of this matter in order to restore confidence in ourselves. Mr. Speaker, Sir, among the items recovered at the house of these persons were security items. They were all seen on television footage, and I want to repeat something I have said before, that this Government does not and did not, even at that time, intend a cover-up. If it was intended, the media would have been excluded from ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I totally agree with your direction on the matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when one is deported, he or she does not choose what to go with.

Influence peddlers who go uttering names to get passage, and those who facilitate them, I am saying again, their days are numbered. Action will be taken not only against those who have already been netted, but also against those who are yet to be named, from whom we expect co- ... view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply on behalf of the Minister for Tourism and Wildlife. (a) Yes, I am aware that the area is a migratory route and, occasionally, elephants cross from both Laikipia and Mount Kenya forests and, in the process, they unfortunately destroy people's crops. (b) The Ministry has put in place several measures to protect farmers. There is a five- kilometres proposed electric fence, out of which every one kilometre from Thirimiti to Ontulili has been completed and is fully operational. There is also a 12-kilometre electric fence from Thirimiti/Kimbo and a 15-kilometre electric fence ... view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government is taking comprehensive measures and, where necessary, the electric fence method will also be extended. However, at the moment, rangers are being used to keep the animals in check view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not possible to install an electric fence in every area that is close to a game reserve. However, measures have been put in place and, in consultation with more stakeholders, more measures will be put in place at the appropriate time to ensure that wildlife and human beings exist cordially. However, you will notice that, due to human settlement, all migratory routes have been affected by settlement thereby promoting that kind of conflict. view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is looking into that. view
• 8 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Members recall that, recently, we passed a 1234 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 8, 2006 Private Member's Bill that would have affected compensation. It is expected that there will be resubmission of that Bill and strengthening of measures which will change the manner of Government response when there is wildlife-human conflict. Apart from that Bill, the Ministry is looking into those issues and will soon come up with a comprehensive policy. FLOODING OF RIVER YALA view

• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to put it on record that the answer is already here. We thought the Question would be better answered by the Minister in charge who will also be able to answer the supplementary questions. Otherwise, the answer is here and we can answer it. We may not be able to give good answers to your supplementary questions. We are, therefore, requesting that it be handled by the responsible 1112 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 6, 2006 Minister tomorrow or any other day the Speaker directs. view
