• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Report of the mediated version of the Bill is given on page 419 of the Order Paper. The Committee met on 22nd March both in the morning and in the afternoon and unanimously resolved the contention on Clauses 7(2)(g), 7(4) and 32 as follows:- view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On Clause 7, the Committee agreed that Sub-clause 1(g) of the Bill be amended as follows:- “A representative of the civil society nominated by the most representative registered national umbrella association of civil societies working on climate change”; view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Let me inform the House what the contention was. In the amendments that were brought to this House by the Senate, the Senate had deleted the inclusion of civil society membership in the National Climate Change Council. It was felt that the representation of the civil society in the Council was very important because they are playing a very crucial role in sensitisation of communities on the impacts and challenges of climate change. So, during the Mediation Committee discussion, we agreed with the Senate that it is important that the civil society be included in the National Climate Change Council. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: It was also agreed that Clause 7(4) be amended by inserting the word “Parliament” immediately before the word “approval” to read as follows:- “The names of persons nominated for appointment under Subsection (2)(f), (g), (h) and (i) shall be submitted to Parliament for approval.” view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The Senate had proposed that we include both National Assembly and the Senate. We agreed that, under the Constitution, Parliament means both the Senate and the National Assembly. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Under Clause 32, the Committee agreed that we retain the proposed amendment by the Senate in Sub-clause (1) to insert the word “ten” appearing immediately after the words “fine not exceeding” at the end of the sub-clause to read as follows:- “---commits an offence and is liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding ten million shillings or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years, or to both” view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The Senate had proposed that anybody who violates summons issued by the National Climate Change Council should be fined Kshs10 million. However, when we sat down, we agreed that that was not the way to go because the culprits are of different levels. We may have an individual, a company or an institution. We agreed to maintain Kshs10 million but we restructure the Clause as follows:- “---commits an offence and is liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding ten million shillings or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years, or to both” view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: This, therefore, covers all the cadres of various people. This is what was deliberated and agreed by the Mediation Committee. I ask Hon. Chachu Ganya to second. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I am very much humbled by the comments Members of this House have made regarding myself, climate change and the mediated version of this Bill. This is, indeed, very encouraging realising that climate change is the single-most important aspect in the world today that is threatening our own survival. This Bill has taken a long time from the 10th Parliament and now the 11th Parliament. I am very happy that Members of this House and Members of the Senate have overwhelmingly supported the Bill. When we sat in the Mediation Committee, the ... view
