• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just like the compensation claim that hon. C. Kilonzo asked about, this one will be processed as soon as possible. The money is available. So, we are not wasting any time. We are doing it as soon as we have the claim processed. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will realise that the wildlife docket has been changing from Ministry to Ministry. There was a time it was under the Office of the President and another time under the Ministry of Tourism and Information. There has been a lot of changes. So, we hope that with the stability which we have now, I can assure the hon. Member that any compensation will be processed very fast because we have procedures. There will be no delay. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as of now, there is no payment for crops that have been damaged by wild animals. However, in the proposed policy, all these things will be addressed. Currently, we are not paying for damaged crops. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, until we reviewed this amount, it was even lower than this early this year. However, I would like to assure the hon. Member that in the new policy which we will bring to this House very soon, the human value will be taken into account. Therefore, compensation will be commensurate to the value of a human being just like insurance companies do. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Mr. Robert Cheruiyot Langat was attacked and injured by a stray leopard on 19th and died on 20th June, 1995. The wildlife docket has moved from the Office of the President to two other Ministries since then, including the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources and Wildlife and the Ministry of Tourism and Information before settling now as the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife. During the transfer, movement of files and other documents has been very difficult to trace as most of them were either left to the ... view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not say that the payment was made. The approval for payment was given in 2000, but apparently, the money was never paid. I am asking the hon. Member to contact the next of kin to give us a claim and then it will be paid. So, it is upon the hon. Member to contact the next of kin, furnish us with the necessary information and then the payment will be made. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will realise that the letter which was written in 2000 stated that the payment would be done after funds were released from the Treasury. These were the kind of answers that were given those days. However, we are willing and ready to make these payments. The best person to contact the next of kin is the hon. Member. We do not have this information due to the movement which I have talked about. The hon. Member should be kind enough to his constituents and get this information for us and we shall act immediately. view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no accumulation involved. However, the figure which I mentioned to Mr. C. Kilonzo applies in this case. It is Kshs200,000. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. I am aware that Mt. Elgon National Park has no electricity, and that the roads are in a poor state. The park offices operate on a generator and some staff houses are on solar power at the moment. The KWS had applied for electricity a few months ago but the organisation was not able to raise the Kshs10 million for the supply before the expiry of 90 days given by the KPLC. The KWS has teamed up with neighbouring potential consumers, and has received a quotation Kshs9.4 million which will be required ... view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: No, I am a teacher. view
