• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief. I support the resolution arising from this Petition. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: First, this is a very new phenomenon which arises from our Constitution. It is something that is very good. I support this particular one because I know the difficulties communities in the Mt Elgon area have gone through in the last, probably, 10 or 15 years. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: There is something that must be made very clear. First, there must be a symbiotic relationship between the forest and human beings or human race. It should be known that the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: people in Mt Elgon have taken care of the forest for a long time. It is only that issues have changed over time. It is now that you cannot utilise your land properly without proper documentation. So, we must be sensitive. This is one thing if it is done well, we will be able to assist those people so that they can also benefit like other Kenyans. There are going to be a few other petitions coming of a similar nature. For example, in Kuresoi North Constituency, we have brought a Petition of a similar nature but different in dimension; ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I have no reason at all to have a problem with a very senior Member of this House. I know that he has actually been to a place called Osim or Nosim, where my good colleague here lives. I have been there myself. I am a conservator. I know about trees. I have lived in forests. I know trees that are planted and those that grow on their own. What my Hon. colleague has done is to build a house on top of a tree by utilising trees. That is the benefit. He gets a tree that has grown over ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: On a more serious note, forests must be of use to human beings in terms of when you conserve them. You know there is some benefit. In Kuresoi North where I come from, we plant trees. Therefore, trees are as good as our cash crop. So, we harvest them when they are mature. Otherwise, they will go for nothing. So, we harvest. Unfortunately, most of the time, it is not the locals who harvest those trees. The licences are given to people from distant areas. But that is not a story for today; it is for another day. The people ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: my good friend Hon. Wamunyinyi knows that in that area, there have been security issues. Remember there is one time there was deployment of the military personnel to take care of them. It is about the conservation of their own land which they have conserved over a long period of time and managed. Therefore, we should allow them to enjoy the benefits and toil of their sweat. This is even biblical. Even for nothing else, it is biblical. When you plant something, you harvest it. That is in the Bible. I did not write the Bible. I found it there. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: As we castigate the people who have conserved forests for a long time, we must also be sensitive that they are humans and are supposed to benefit in terms of direct use of that land so that they can grow economically like everyone else in Kenya. I do not think that the Government or any other institution compensates them for conserving the forest. The Government of Kenya can be compensated by being given carbon credit. But carbon credit does not go to individual farmers and individual human beings who live in the forests. These are the things we need to ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Those are the kinds of things we are saying are good. I beg to wind up my contribution and beseech Members to allow Mt. Elgon people of a very small community, the Ogiek, very few people, to benefit. If we want to get 15 per cent by stopping the Mt. Elgon people from utilising that small land, it does not give us the percentage that we require. We probably would be taking… I do not even know what kind of decimal to use –an extremely, negligible decimal. Let us see ways of trying to conserve environment. We want this environment ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
