• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill is on non-proliferation and disarmourment. I wish we had also put much attention on that because we do not know what the future portends. I would like to encourage the Chairperson of the Committee that even as we are looking at that, he should put in a little bit more attention to issues on non-proliferation and disamourment. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also encourage the Committee that within this framework, they could also encourage the Bill on Biosafety, which we have already. Biosecurity could be brought to this House because the one that we are facing more serious concerns over is the issue of biological warfare. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Nuclear warfare may take longer because of what is involved in production and the amounts. However, the ones on biological warfare are very easy and you never know even where Ebola may have come from. So, we could also hasten the bringing of such Bills for protection. Having said that, I just want us to look at some of the provisions in terms of why I am saying we have paid a lot more attention to issues of security and safeguards, which is the third pillar of that Treaty. If you look at Part VIII on safe guards, particularly Clause ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: “All the nuclear material in Kenya shall be used exclusively for peaceful purposes view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: in accordance with this Act”. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: This is very positive. Part V in summary provides the frame work for the radiation protection and related medical and intended radiological exposure with trans-boundary effects. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is very significant especially in a country like ours with porous borders and sometimes with the challenges we have with security that we put very clear frameworks for regulating especially those trans-boundary issues. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I am particularly happy with the provisions under Part IX that deal with emergency preparedness and responses in the event of radiological emergencies and nuclear accidents. I am just imagining if Kenya had to face a Hiroshima type of situation. Several of us would be dead because of our lack of preparedness. That is why I am happy that this Bill provides for that. It also addresses the issue of illicit trafficking, certification and inspection which is important. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: If you look at Clause 3, which deals with the objects and purposes of this Act, it talks about regulating the safe, secure and peaceful development, production, procession, storage, transport, transfer, disposal or handling of nuclear and radioactive materials, activities, facilities and other apparatus generating, ionising radiation and protect persons’ property and environment in relation to nuclear and radioactive material activities, facilities and other operators generating ionising radiation. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The Bill also ensures that even in the process of nuclear-related activities, we protect persons, but also the environment. I know that, as a country, we have even been having challenges of protecting our people from the most basic environmental challenges. Once in a while, some counties seek to close facilities they think are harmful to people. Can you imagine if you were talking about nuclear, and we do not have measures to deal with escapes to the environment or things that would be harmful to people? I am very happy that the Bill has put a lot of emphasis ... view
