• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Bill. First and foremost, I want to thank the Chair of the Committee and her Committee for work well done in yesterday’s presentation. The major areas where there is human-wildlife conflict are mainly for us who come from areas where we have national parks or game reserves within our regions. In those areas, most of our communities have co-existed with wildlife for centuries. We have always had our cattle grazing within those areas together with wildlife and for us we think that the people ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: as a much improvement because when you talk about caves of historical value we have Kapsetai and Kitum within the area of Mt. Elgon. This Bill will go towards supporting the communities in preserving those areas of national heritage. When it comes to areas where we have imposed a ban on use of trophies, one of the issues that we should not forget is that in our African society we have had traditional regalia, they came inform of hats and clothes and even during political rallies or certain functions, leaders are made elders by wearing this traditional regalia. This also ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the other area which I looked at is where we are talking about forming the county team. In this county team we are bringing in agricultural officers, people who are experts in the use of land. But the community that is within is less represented. So, I think that is an area that we will bring in amendments so that this can also be captured. Last, but not least, is the representation of the elected leaders. That is because more often than not, when you go outside there, we are the people that our constituents will ask ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to assure the hon. Member that we will look into that and we should be able to have an answer by next week on Thursday. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the Motion as amended. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Article 50(2)(e) of the Constitution presumes that every accused person has the right to a fair trial, which includes the right to have the trial begin and be concluded without unreasonable delay. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Mututho’s case has taken between 13 and 15 years. In this case, if we allow the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to continue this way--- Today it is Mututho but tomorrow it will be somebody else. By writing a letter to say that they have delayed their cases or that they are facing any corruption charges, it means that many Kenyans out there are going to lose opportunities to get jobs for which they are qualified. We have not seen anything. Even talking of the Economic Crimes Act, it deals with a serving public servant being suspended. Hon. Mututho is ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I actually agree with hon. Midiwo that the second part of the amendment that hon. Shebesh has proposed, “to develop capacity building for Fund recipients for table banking---” How do you develop capacity without being the one who is appointing? It means we will appoint and then she will be the one to develop the capacity. Secondly, when you say that you are the champion at the county level, it means that you are also pushing the hon. Member away from accessing the promotion of Uwezo Fund ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support the amendment by hon. Oyugi because we realize that we have set aside money for capacity building. But at the constituency level, we are not doing the capacity building. Initially, women Members of Parliament through hon. Ms. Shebesh had put in an amendment that they wanted capacity building do be done at the county level. Now that we do not have that amendment at the county level and we have 8 per cent of the resources set aside for capacity building, where do we do that capacity building? Let us take it ... view
• 14 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to thank the Chairman of the Committee and his team for the efforts they have made to make sure that the team from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries appeared before this Committee on these pertinent issues, which affect my constituents. As much as the Chairman has tried to deny what I heard, which is captured in the HANSARD, it was an admission by the Director of ADC at that time. He said that they were giving farmers milk and meat from time to time. The interpretation on the ground is that, that amounted ... view
