  • 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I was listening very keenly to his statement, unless it escaped my ear. He has mentioned absolutely nothing about county governments’ participation in what he is doing unless I missed it. view
  • 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Agriculture is 95 per cent devolved function. You cannot embark on any reforms in any sector of agriculture without involving county governments at executive and assembly levels. This is because they are first frontline agencies in the management of the affairs of this country in dealing with agriculture. view
  • 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: I hope that the Chairman in moving towards this conference and is talking about any other meetings for that matter, he takes the correct view that being a devolved function, continuing to engage the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture to the exclusion of counties and their governments is a claw back on devolution. We should avoid this. view
  • 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Thank you. view
  • 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a very progressive Bill with certain issues at Committee stage that Sen. Mwaruma needs to take into account and bring to the House. Madam Temporary Speaker, wildlife/human conflicts have been increasing every year. You may recall in the last Senate, our late colleague and may he rest in peace, Sen for Laikipia, Mr. G.G. Kariuki, was constantly talking about compensation for persons maimed or killed by wildlife and some families rendered destitute by wildlife destruction.

When I asked him what had happened, he said that elephants had passed there and destroyed everything. They pulled down his house and destroyed his entire banana planation and crops that were there. What followed was a wild goose chase for compensation. view
  • 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: People get injured at the ages of 30 and 35 years and live to die at 60 or 70 years without being compensated and that is why this Bill is so important. It creates a time constraint for the compensation committees at the county and national levels to ensure that people get compensated when they suffer attacks from wildlife. view
  • 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
  • 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when you look at the management of our national parks and game reserves, it is also important that we voice our concern in the manner which the wardens who manage these parks fail to control the movement of wildlife. We know that wildlife is there and some of the animals are dangerous. They can move out of the parks and consequently, we have a duty as the Government to make sure that unless it is under very extraneous circumstances, animals are confined in the parks and reserves so that they do not go out to attack people. ... view
