• 13 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a colleague Senator cannot talk about my county where I come from, and he is making false allegations. view
• 13 Feb 2025 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I find it completely unacceptable that my colleague, Eddy, that I respect--- We went to Migori and we asked to be taken to Ombo Hospital to see what services there are, and his governor did not allow us. I do not know when Sen. Eddy went to Kisii Hospital, Level 5, inspected the facility and confirmed that everything is working, other than the fact that he is sanitizing my governor on this Floor. I find that completely objectionable. view
• 13 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief. First, I want to give a rejoinder from the point where we stopped the other day. It is true, we went to Mandera and I thanked Sen. Roba for the good work they had done in planting trees within Mandera Township. I then made a recommendation to Sen. Haji to possibly look at who is going to be in charge of the management of the forest or the tree planting activities without overloading the Bill. I also raised the issue that we need to lay emphasis on environmental studies, ... view

My suggestion is that we make sure the trees recommended to be planted in these areas are going to be sustainable. Last year, there was an issue that I brought to the floor of this House. I said it is high time that we create botanical gardens within our counties, either within our municipalities or townships. I also suggested that these botanical gardens would be allocated land by the county governments, where we will plant trees that have medicinal values or general values like ... view
• 13 Feb 2025 in Senate: The last point is from the document that Hon. Abdul Haji has tabled here. It says: “We shall promote the planting of trees in all public land vested in the county governments. We shall ensure that all trees that are felled for the implementation of any county project are relocated to an area designated by the service and any person who harvests a tree shall replace the trees under the direction and in those areas that have been designated by the service.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think you picked this from the template that existed during the 1970s and ... view

• 13 Feb 2025 in Senate: of Kisii have given a Chinese company the right to cut trees within Kisii unabated. They do neither replant nor ask anybody. You just see lorries which are picking trees and you are told that they are going to China. I believe that this Bill will stop such activity and make county governments responsible. I believe that this will make our country become a green country. I hope that we will adopt green technology in all our spheres. At some point, we are going to have to relook at our behaviours. Why is it that we are cutting trees when ... view
