• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to also add my voice to this important Motion. I also thank Sen. Mwaruma for coming up 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
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: with this relevant Motion to all of us and to every county, with again a lot of passion and emotions because of the suffering that Kenyans have gone through. Going through the Motion and listening to the contribution of the Senators, it is quite clear that God has blessed this nation with wild animals. We are all proud of our country, and especially the wild animals. We thank God for all the resources that he has given us. Again, when you look at the other side, you clearly see the destruction of property and the huge number of people who ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, besides the compensation, there is also need for us to encourage insurance companies to go down to the grassroots and encourage people to insure their animals, farms and all property. This will ensure that when something happens, besides what the Government will do, people will know where to run to. I think 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
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: there is need to push for insurance cover for domestic animals, human beings and other property they own. In doing that, then we will have taken care of our people and the other resources that God has given us. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is true that our people need to benefit from the resources that God has given us. In some of these areas like in my county, I do not think we have benefited even from the tourism and wild animals that God has given us. In fact, from my experience since childhood to date, wild animals are given more attention than human beings and domestic animals. When one kills a wild animal they are followed and we all know what happens. However, when somebody falls victim, the Government does not seem to care at all. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: In 1970s Ahmed the elephant that Kenyans are proud of was provided 24-hour security surveillance through a presidential decree. Ahmed enjoyed that, but as one of the people from Marsabit County, I wish our people could be protected because we keep on attacking each other and losing our animals. On Tuesday this week we lost some goats in Marsabit and the Government was not able to follow or even recover them. If the Government, as early as 1970s, could provide 24-hour security surveillance for Ahmed, the elephant, why are we today, in the 21st Century, not able to protect our ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Motion suggests that enough funds be allocated and compensation done. It also suggests that we ensure that victims and families of victims of human-wildlife conflict are always compensated within 90 days. When one loses their loved one through this, it is enough pain to go through. When one knows that they are supposed to get something in form of compensation and they are not able to get, they keep on mourning and suffering. There is, therefore, need for us to push for that and see how it can be done within the 90 days, if not ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: The Motion also proposes that we come up with innovative ways of ensuring host communities benefit from the revenue accruing from wildlife tourism. As I said, many of our communities have never benefited from the resources that God has given them. There is need for the Senate to push for this, so that host communities also benefit in a way from whatever resources there are in different counties. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in Kenya we are blessed with so many resources and all the policies and laws in place. Unfortunately, we are not implementing them. We take advantage of the poor people and exploit them. Every officer that is there is not ready to serve Kenyans passionately. My request is that those who are already affected and suffered should be compensated immediately and proper measures be put in place for any other person who will fall victim. Thank you and I beg to support. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: seconded. view
