  • 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. I support this amendment. For purposes of the record, I believe we are talking about Clause 44 and not Clause 33. If you look at Sub-clause 2(a)--- view
  • 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Correct. Hon. Lentoimaga is saying that before any forest is gazetted, there is always a community and there has always been people around that forest. In fact, the preservation of those forests wherever they are--- Ngong Hills where I come from is called “ Oldonyo Loo-Ilaiser ”. That means the clan Laiser has been taking care of that forest. So, what is the problem of getting into agreement in terms of the management because of the customary rights? I support and I want to ask Members to look at how communities have played a big role in the maintenance of ... view
  • 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I will be very brief because the next Order also concerns me. At the outset, I support this Bill because my background has been in the area of energy. There was a time I worked for KETRACO and after some months I worked for the Geothermal Development Company (GDC). This Bill will cure some of the concerns that the people of this country have been having. I come from Kajiado West Constituency where our logo is “The Home of Green Energy.” We have geothermal around Mount Suswa ... view

  • 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: that Hon. Peris was talking about. This Bill will put to rest some of the issues that are coming up with regard to that line. Some sections of this country are paid at the rates of 85 per cent and 100 per cent. This is the case and yet farmers in Kajiado West and Kajiado East constituencies have been compensated at a rate of 30 per cent. This Bill will go a long way to ensure that the homes that have not been connected with power, despite the many KP lines that run across fields, will have an opportunity of ... view

  • 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the various companies that have been working in the energy sector like the KETRACO Limited, KenGen and the Geothermal Development Company (GDC), a number of staff who are hired from the localities are only given casual jobs. They are given work that does not pay as much as they deserve since the natural resource is within their area. When this Bill gets to the Committee of the whole House, I will bring some amendments, so that we ensure that people in those areas get better jobs. If they do not have the skills, they can ... view
