• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: So, I really support this because it will bring equality; but there is one thing as we move into this union. We need to consider also the rules that we have as a country. I will give you an example. This is the importation of cars. When you import a car in Kenya you have a period of time, say eight years. If somebody in Uganda imports a car, they can import one which is as old as it is. You find cartels importing cars, taking them to Uganda and then bringing them back into this country. We need to ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: There is another thing that we need to take care of. There are people who are supposed to transport fuel to Uganda, and instead of them doing so they sell it in the Kenyan market. So, our monitoring and ways of making sure that such things do not come into this country illegally, should be improved. When we unite, this will make sure that we protect also the interests of this nation. This is because the interests of this nation and citizens of Kenya are more important to us than the interests of other nations and their citizens. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: So, I support this Motion and I urge Members to also do so, so that we are able to bring equality and also fight problems that we face as Africans and one body and not as divided people. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I have some questions on this clause. We are talking about getting permits and permission from land owners, especially when you are doing exploration. For example, in the initial stages of trying to find out if there are mines or not, that will put a lot of burden especially to investors who are willing to go round looking for mining investments. So, I would like to ask the Committee if they looked deep into this, so that we can have the initial stage of looking for mines or exploring for mines being excluded from this clause. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think you should give me a chance to speak on my amendment even if it is at this stage. There is a reason why I had it. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: The reason I brought this amendment is that at the initial stages – this is what I have been saying since we started deliberating on this Bill – we are putting so much requirements and restrictions with regard to looking for minerals in this country. We thereby kill and take away morale of investors who would come in and help us discover these minerals. If you look at the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act, No.8 of 1999 you will realize that it does not bring prospecting exploration activities under that Act. That is why I was proposing that unless there ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 59 be amended by deleting the words “seven hundred and fifty” and substituting therefor the words “two thousand, three hundred and twenty six”. My amendment is really pretty much like what people are saying, but it was to increase the figure even further. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Yes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my further amendment was to increase the number further to 2,326. The reason is that the industrial standard is 500 square kilometres but it takes 500 square kilometres per plot which will come to 2,326 plots. So, that is why I wanted to increase it to meet the industrial standards that we all have to. view

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think he is out of order to say that I am talking on behalf of miners. I am a miner.
