• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity and I will not waste time because we have a very important Motion that is coming up. I just wanted to say that this is a very good Bill that has been brought by the Committee. I think that we should all support it. As we are about to break for the Christmas holidays, accidents become an everyday occurrence and the only way that we can deal with this is actually by passing this Bill. It gives a structured compensation liability schedule that all of us must support. I ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, confusion normally occurs when accidents occur, both in courts and even between lawyers and clients. So, I think this Bill will bring order. I also want to join the rest of my colleagues by just saying that motorcycles cause more accidents than vehicles in this country. So, we must include that. I think when we bring amendments, we will also include motorcycles that are not captured in this Bill. I also want to say that this country has come a long way and we must amend laws that are going to help our people. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: With those very few remarks so that I can give time for the Mover to move, I want to say thank you for giving me this opportunity. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Today is a great day for this nation. I say so because the Bill that has been in existence was enacted in 1975. You can imagine what issues were there at that particular time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I must thank the hon. Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resource for the work they have done. They have done a superb job and they said that they have 90 per cent which is good. I want them to amend the 10 per cent so ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: used to have animals but now they are not there. It is the same problem that we are having in Maasai Mara today. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Not one minute because two of my minutes were taken away. Let me say that I think this time round the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has been strengthened. It was actually inherited from the colonialists. The way they have been treating the communities around the national parks has not been good and I think this particular Bill will address that. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am also very impressed with the compensation scheme that the Committee is suggesting even though the Kshs3 million that the Committee has suggested will be rejected by our communities that live around the parks. We will actually suggest Kshs5 million as compensation but then we will do that at that particular time. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also like the fact that we will now have a wildlife research and training institute. When you think about it, nobody in this country knows how many wildlife we have. This research institute will help us have scientific information and data on wildlife resources that will be critical for informed decision making for managers and other stakeholders. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I would also like to say that when you look at the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Water and Mineral Resources, she has been given powers so that we can have what is called a wildlife conservation management plan which will be used in these wildlife management areas. We did not have anything before. Everybody was doing their own things. So, I think this Bill will bring that and it will really be welcomed by the communities around the national parks. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Let me finish then. Let me say that on changing land tenure and land use in wildlife rangelands, I think this Bill will help communities that are around the national parks to manage their land because most of the land has now been divided and people have title deeds. So, the only way that we can manage our wildlife is to encourage these communities to also provide the land that they have for management of wildlife. view
