FORMULATION OF A LAND USE POLICY

ON ZONING OF LAND FOR AGRICULTURE

AND BUILT DEVELOPMENT

(The Hon. Timothy Wanyonyi, M.P.)

THAT aware that land is a critical but limited factor of production that supports human habitation and food production; noting that, agriculture is Kenya’s main economic mainstay; appreciating that, that the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Monetary Policy Committee Agriculture Sector Survey 2022 estimated the contribution of the agriculture sector to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to be 22% directly and 27% indirectly, through its linkages with other sectors; further appreciating that, the Survey showed that the sector employs over 40% of the Kenya’s total population; concerned that, in the Land Reform, Vol. 3 publication, the Kenya Land Alliance Land estimated that only 17% of the country’s land mass is classified as suitable for rain-fed agriculture land while the remainder is either semi-arid or arid; further concerned that, the country’s agricultural productivity has been decreasing over the years; cognizant of the fact that, the decline in agricultural productivity is partly attributable to the shrinking agricultural land due to unplanned settlements that encroach on agricultural lands; further concerned that, agricultural lands in rural areas are continually being subdivided into small portions for built development, thereby diminishing the size of land available for agriculture; noting that, there is need to put in place measures for effective land use in the country in order to guarantee optimal use of agriculture; now therefore, this House resolves that, the Government, through the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development puts in place a policy framework for effective land use in rural areas by consolidating and designating zones for built development for commercial and residential developments ….........../8*(Cont’d)

FORMULATION OF A REWARD SCHEME

FOR

BY

SPORTS

PERSONS

IN

INTERNATIONAL

COMPETITIONS

(The Hon. Charles Ngusya, M.P.)

THAT, aware that, sports play an integral role in promoting cultural heritage, national identity, national development, the well-being of the people and sustenance of livelihoods, particularly of the youth; appreciating that, Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2005 provides a framework for sports development and operationalization in the country; further appreciating that the Sector Plan for Sports, Culture and Arts – 2018 by the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Arts mainstreamed sports development in the Third Medium Term Plan (MTP III) for 2018-2022, under Kenya’s Vision 2030; recognizing that, the Vision 2030 aims at capitalizing on the country’s international reputation as a world-class sports powerhouse whose sportsmen and women have won international accolades and recognition, especially for their prowess in athletics; concerned that, despite bringing honour and national pride to the country, most sports men and women face a myriad of challenges such as lack of psychosocial support and social protection, hence pushing many to alarming levels of mental health challenges during their careers and even after retirement; noting that Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2005 contemplated motivation of sportspersons by the State through cash and material prizes, conferring State honours, appointments as goodwill ambassadors and establishing contributory insurance and savings schemes among other forms of motivation; cognizant of the fact that, the prospect of receiving State recognition, financial grants, and other perks inspires sportsmen to push their limits in attaining their full potential as well as fostering a collective sense of pride in sporting ….........../12*(Cont’d)

(No. 85)

(2380) achievements; now therefore, this House urges that the Government, through the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports and Arts, develops a policy and standardized sports reward scheme for recognizing the achievements made by sports persons in internationally recognized competitions, through– (i) financial rewards of Kshs. 6 million for setting new world records; Kshs. 4 million for gold medalists; Kshs. 3 million for silver medalists and Kshs. 2 million for bronze medalists; (ii) non-financial motivation, including facilitation with issuance of diplomatic passports for established sportsmen and women, appointment as goodwill ambassadors and conferring national honours and privileges; and, (iii) establishing medical cover and a post-retirement social protection scheme, including establishing contributory insurance and savings schemes to support sports persons who retire from active sporting due to injuries or age.

ALLOCATION

OF

HELB

FUNDS

TO

SUPPORT STUDENTS ENROLLED AT THE

KENYA MEDICAL TRAINING COLLEGE

(The Hon. Abdi Shurie, M.P.)

THAT, aware that, Article 95(2) of the Constitution provides that the National Assembly deliberates on and resolves issues of concern to the people; further aware that, the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) is mandated to provide financial support to Kenyans pursuing higher education through loans, bursaries and scholarships; noting that, students enrolled at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) currently total approximately seventy thousand students, with thirty thousand of these having joined the institution in 2024; concerned that, forty percent (40%) of the KMTC student population require financial support similar to that offered to students in other public tertiary institutions such as technical training institutes in the country, but are excluded from receiving HELB support; appreciating that, education funding plays a vital role in enhancing access to education for Kenyans, hence boosting the economic growth of the county; this House therefore resolves that– (i) the Government, through the Ministry of Education, facilitates issuance of HELB loans to students at the Kenya Medical Training College; and (ii) if no funds are appropriated for this exercise, approval is hereby granted for the National Treasury to release funds amounting to not less than Kshs. 1,500,000,000 to the Higher Education Loans Board pursuant to Article 223 of the Constitution for loans to KMTC students, and that such release be regularised through the Third Supplementary Estimates III for the financial year 2024/2025.
