• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Statement on Impact of Devolution on Livestock Farming. As we all know, many of us are beneficiaries of this. The use of livestock and its sub-products like manure is quite important and pastoralists depend on them 100 per cent. Thus, there is need for us to see how devolution has helped and improved their lifestyles. So, we need to see how best to improve the lives of pastoralists and the people who depend on livestock. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: As we know, livestock contributes quite a lot to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of our country. Unless we take good care of it, we may not achieve that. Like now, there is drought in the northern part of Kenya which has affected the people and we are losing many animals. That means that the issue of livestock insurance is very important, so that pastoralists can be assured of some income even when they lose their animals or products due to natural disasters. view

• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Bill – the Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill (Senate Bills No. 31 of 2018). I also congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for considering to bring this Bill to the Senate. This is a Bill that will benefit the entire nation and especially the common mwananchi. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I was going through this Bill, I looked at every area and what I have seen will benefit all of us. The Bill provides a framework of establishing benefit sharing systems. As we know, in our country, by the time we talk ... view

• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: benefit sharing, already people have organized themselves and this normally brings a lot of conflict. This Bill will put systems in place that will guide all the stakeholders. Part II Clause 5, under functions of the CRA, the Bill proposes that the CRA shall- “(d) Oversee the administration of the funds set aside for community projects to be implemented under a benefit sharing agreement.” As I said, benefit sharing is one of the tricky areas in Kenya where others exploit people. You will even find that even non-locals come, get everything and keep away the local people. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I come from a county where we have some resources. Our area of Marsabit and the Northern part of Kenya has been left behind for many years. Consequently, people in different offices keep on exploiting our people on the ground and also benefit a lot through the natural resources that are there. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Clause 5(g) suggests that the same Commission shall- “Determine appeals arising out of conflicts regarding the preparation and implementation of benefit sharing agreements.” That has been my main concern. When I saw that the Bill takes care of that, I said that it will benefit all the stakeholders. Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 5(h) says that the CRA shall- “Advise the national Government on policy and the enactment of legislation relating to benefit sharing in resource exploitation.” That is the same thing I was referring to, because many have been exploited in the past, yet when we sometimes talk of issues ... view
