• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, and thank you Leader of the Majority Party for your two minutes. I take it very kindly. I will try to summarise because two minutes are short. Our Constitution is very clear on the rights of every person to live in a clean and healthy environment. This is also a global issue. Stabilising climate is one urgent issue right now. We take cognisance of the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 and the Paris Agreement of 2015. In the Paris meeting, the US made a pledge to contribute US$3 billion to the green climate fund. In ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. On behalf of the other Members, let me offer my very sincere condolences to you and your family because of the loss of your mother-in-law. Kenyans should see the commitment of Members to serve them - that you are here very soon after bereavement. My sincere condolences. I support this Bill. It has come at the right time. Chapter 130 of the Kenyan Constitution contains the Copyright Act with the sole mandate of making provisions for copyright in literacy, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: artistic works, audio-visual works, sound recording, broadcasting and other connected services. A lot has gone on in the world in terms of copyright issues. Globally, there is no specific law to regulate copyright, but there has been an attempt on a number of laws including the Berne Convention in 1886 which is now administered by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) which sets the minimum standards for the protection of the rights of the creation of copyright works around the world. Also, the European Union has tried to harmonise copyright laws and regulations including the 2001 Directive on copyright in ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. Kenya is developing fast. We need to regulate building surveyors and raise our standards nationally. We also need to be competitive in the international market. Whenever it is time for campaigns, Kenyans are very aggressive in speaking about the sort of leaders they require. So, we not only need to raise standards in leadership in this country, but also in professionalism. We need to raise standards in all aspects of development so that Kenya can be rated highly and respected internationally. We will be known in the world ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: The Bill introduces changes that will ensure that building activities in the country meet international standards. This is very important. They will meet the international scope of works outlined for building survey. Currently, our country is experiencing a lot of growth in the real estate that is stimulated by both local and foreign investors. Such a Bill will increase their confidence in the Kenyan market. I am sure Kenya is headed in the right direction because of the laws we make in this House. I urge Kenyans that the way we are not ready to compromise the standards of leadership, ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.33(1), I seek leave of the House for adjournment of debate for purposes of discussing an urgent national matter relating to the recent killings of livestock in Laikipia. There has been an ongoing conflict between herders, private ranchers and security agencies. Unfortunately, of late, and most recently on Sunday, 5th November 2017, the situation has escalated to loss of lives and livestock and destruction of property of unknown value. This is a matter that requires urgent Government intervention to restore peace among local communities and permanently resolve similar situations across Laikipia and ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I know it is because of a lot of consideration by this House to adjourn all other business to discuss this particular matter which is of grave concern to the Kenyan people. As I had earlier stated while moving the Motion, there has been ongoing conflict between the herders, private ranchers and security agencies and this has contributed to a lot of loss of life and livestock. At this particular time when drought is already biting hard on our people it is very unfortunate to continue losing livestock in ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: unimaginable. There has been a lot of hue and cry. Whereas drought has forced pastoralists into very difficult circumstances in all parts of the country we are all suffering from different directions. Just the other day, livestock from Kajiado County that crossed the border to Tanzania was auctioned by the Tanzanian Government, around 1,300 livestock and we are still going through the pains and trauma of losing that livestock. Back here in our own country our own security agents took their guns which have been bought using taxpayers’ money to kill our livestock and sabotage our economy which we depend ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: One would wonder whether the sabotage begins from here. Political elites and businesspeople in the country have also increasingly acquired land there. Thousands of herders are being chased by drought. I blame this situation entirely on the drought in Laikipia. The herders are being pushed by the biting drought. They have invaded farms, ranches and wildlife conservancies. The key thing is how our security forces dealt with this situation because one wrong cannot correct another wrong. Pumping a bullet into a cow will not solve the situation. The conflict between the pastoralists and the ranchers is bound to escalate as ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: This has been particularly seen in a number of conservancies in Laikipia, including Ratia, Mugie, Sossian and Suyian, where many animals have been shot dead by police officers. Nothing justifies the horrific massacre of innocent and sacred animals. I call them sacred because the cow, to some communities of Indian origin, is a god. To our people, the cow is everything. The cow is school fees, food and basically everything you can think of. Therefore, there is no justification for killing livestock. view
