• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in Tanzania, 60 percent of the revenue collected from parks goes back to the community to either build hospitals or schools and do fences around their parks and provide water. Sen. Mwaruma, that is why colleagues are saying 5 per cent is too low. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: With a lot of tremendous respect to Sen. Olekina here, that is why the Maasai on the other side of Tanzania are doing very well. Businesses in Arusha are run by Maasais because they have taken care of them with the 60 per cent revenue they get to the communities. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Sen. Mwaruma, instead of proposing adequate funds in the first Clause, I can tell you it is not a question of adequate funds. Every year the National Assembly allocated money to the Ministry of Tourism for paying compensations. This financial year alone there is about Kshs600 million but because of incompetence of somebody who I will not mention again, that money is never paid out. 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: Sen. Wetangula asked a very fundamental question. A child who would have become a lawyer or an engineer is trampled upon by an elephant. There is an elephant in Mtito Andei called “Mwanzia” who comes out of the park every day at 5.00 p.m. We call it Mwanzia because it walks around. If it tramples on a child who would have become an engineer or a lawyer, the law says that child should be paid Kshs5 million. If that person had been hit by your private car, they would be paid more because of the multiplier effect. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: We should make it possible for Kenyans to go to court for compensation when animals trampled upon them. If you destroy somebody’s crops and the person goes to court, there is a standard interest rate from the date the person filed suit. In the case of Makueni, somebody’s crops were destroyed in 2013 but they were paid Kshs30,000 in 2021. Who has lost? It is you. Sen. Mwaruma, that is the reason we are proposing that that avenue be opened. That is the only way for the Ministry to learn that people ought to be compensated. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: I have files upon files of people who have been killed or whose crops have been destroyed. In some cases, in Makindu and places next to where Sen. Mwaruma comes from, people see rain after two years. Immediately you cultivate land, the elephants come and have a party in your shamba then you are compensated five years later. It is of no value. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: I suggest that this amendment be done. It should make it mandatory and if one is not compensated, then they should have an avenue of going to court, so that we can enforce these judgments against the KWS. That is the point. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: The Government through the National Assembly proposed a county wildlife conservation committee chaired by the county commissioner in every county. It was never implemented but why? Can you believe that in some cases they do not have sitting allowance? They cannot sit because they do not have a sitting allowance. Somebody is dead but they cannot sit. In fact, Sen. Mwaruma, why is it not possible for the county wildlife conservation committees to have sittings where these incidences have happened? Why, for example, should a person who has been injured in Mtito Andei on our side go to Wote for ... view
