• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also observe that the Ministry, having requested for Kshs12 billion, was allocated approximately Kshs3 billion. This disparity is not helping the work of the Ministry. We wish, therefore, to recommend that this Ministry be allowed to retain a good chunk, if not all, of the revenue it collects annually to enable it implement programmes that are necessary for our country. The Minister himself has said that the revenue that this Ministry collects is the second highest of all the revenues collected by Government Ministries. We further recommend that the Ministry be empowered, not just ... view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity on behalf of the Members of the Committee on Lands and Natural Resources to present to this honourable House my Committee’s findings on the scrutiny of the Annual Estimates for the Financial Year 2010/2011 for Vote 55, pursuant to provisions of Standing Order No.152(1)(2) of this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, this Committee oversees four Government Ministries, namely, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Vote 20, Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, Vote 21, Ministry of Lands that we have dealt with substantially, Vote 36 and ... view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: We also noted that there is human and livestock population increase. I am not sure that, as a country, we are saying enough about the increase of human population. I hope that, some day, we will begin to take note because that will have its implications down the pipe sooner than later. We have also been informed about the human-wildlife conflict, the issue of compensation, the whole question of trans-boundary resource management and the problem of deforestation. We need to have monies to monitor what is happening. While I am still on that, I wish to observe that the absorption ... view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Ministries and Departments to enable completion of approved programmes. My Committee is agreeable to the proposals by the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife and recommends that a sum not exceeding Kshs3,937,788 be allocated to the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife for Recurrent Expenditure and a sum of Kshs1,983,955 for Development Expenditure proposed in the Head under Vote 55. The Ministry should be allowed to raise Appropriations-in-Aid amounting to Kshs1,747,220 to finance its operations. My Committee wishes to sincerely thank the offices of Mr. Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly and all the staff for the support they gave ... view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairperson, if we are saying that the Director and the Chairman - particularly the Director - is not here and is within the country and the National Assembly is meeting to scrutinize the Budget on behalf of the Kenyan people, it is very difficult for us to understand why we have spent as much time as we have spent as a Committee going through each and every Vote. We did that so that we can help the Minister and persuade ourselves that it is necessary to support the budget that has come. It is very difficult for ... view
• 12 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairperson, what Mrs. Shabesh has said--- I think it is to be expected that the departmental heads would be here because the kind of monies we are talking about are huge sums of money on behalf of the Kenyan people. I think the Minister owes this House an apology and hope that this is not repeated. It does not show a lot of respect for the House! view

• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to request the Chair that the matter of Kiborowa Squatters Alliance that was tabled by Dr. Khalwale, following which the Chair decided that the Committee that I chair looks at this matter and then report as soon as possible, mine is to pray that we be given more time for the simple reason that we are also looking at an urgent matter, that this House is aware of, of South Ngariama Ranch. We have started working on South Ngariama and we have been on it for the last five weeks. There is still ... view

• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: It is for the Chair to guide me, but I also want to be realistic, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not think it is fair to work with deadlines that are not possible. So, I am being as honest as is practical under the circumstances. view
