Sen. Muthama Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank Sen. Mbura for bringing this Petition. History speaks volumes. Once upon a time, the black man was sold and purchased in the market like a goat or cow. What is happening is slave trade because those who send our children...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just suggesting quick measures and steps that the Government can take now to stop this issue, once and for all. We do not want to see it again. Even before we debate this issue, the Government has got the authority to say...

Sen. Muthama Asante sana, Bw. Naibu Spika, ninashukuru kwa nafasi hii nami niweze kusema yangu. Mwanzo, ningetaka kufahamisha Seneti hii kwamba mimi ni March 31, 2015 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Muthamammoja wa wale ambao wametajwa hapa. Katika maisha yangu nimepigana na ulaji rushwa, utoaji hongo na magendo. Rais wa sasa katika...

Sen. Muthama Ninakushukuru, Bw. Naibu Spika. Nimefanya kazi na Rais Uhuru Kenyatta nikiwa Kiranja wa Serikali katika Bunge naye akiwa Waziri wa Fedha. Nilimtumikia Waziri wangu katika Bunge la Kumi kwa uaminifu. Yeye anaweza kutoa ushahidi hapa kusema kwamba kamwe hakuna siku ambayo nilikanyaga katika ofisi yake kumuomba usaidizi wowote....

Sen. Muthama Bw. Naibu Spika, page ni ukurasa. Sura ni chapter. Nimetajwa kwamba nafaa kuchuguzwa kwa ujenzi wa barabara iliyogharimu Kshs57milioni. Pesa nilizopokea za juu zaidi zilikuwa Kshs8 milioni. Tuliofanya kazi pamoja na Sen. Haji. Ndio mradi kama huo upite, ilikuwa ni lazima bodi ya Constituency Development Fund (CDF) ikae...

Sen. Muthama Bw. Naibu Spika, nakubali kufahamishwa.

Sen. Muthama Bw. Naibu Spika, nashukuru kwa kufahamishwa na Sen. Sang. Ni kweli na dhahiri kwamba Waziri anakashifiwa kwa kumuweka msaidizi wake kusimamia shamba ile. Sisi tunawatafutia Wakenya kazi bila kujali kabila lao. Lakini la kuhuzunisha ni kwamba, Waziri wa Kilimo anapigwa kumbo kwa mambo hayo. Bw. Naibu Spika, nimesoma...

Sen. Muthama Order, Senators! You must address the Chair and stop talking to each other. March 31, 2015 SENATE DEBATES

Do you wish to be informed by Sen. Muthama?

Sen. Muthama Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute on the President’s Speech. As a young boy in 1965, a report was issued in the National Assembly known as the Gachathi Report. This is the report--- (Loud consultations) Madam Temporary Speaker, it is possible that,...

Order, Senators! You must address the Chair and stop talking to each other.

Madam Temporary Speaker, some people have mind-boggling wealth and if you try to pursue the structure of that wealth, it was acquired in the most illegal of manners. Today, they are able to win advantage over the peasant populations, basically because they have sustained a policy of preservation. We need...

since passed on, but before the rest leave us, we must document from them why they rejected the chapter on land. Allegedly, it was because rulers - past and present - were mentioned in that chapter on land. So, if it was about marginalization, you do not just apologize and...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. What is worrying me most is actually not the matter being debated, but the authority of the position and the seat that you are sitting on. If I heard you well, you gave a direction; that the Senate Minority...

Sen. Muthama, you are completely out of order. The Senate Minority Leader (

Order, Sen. Muthama. Your time is up. Sen. (Prof.) Lesan.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Bill very strongly. Before I do so, I thank Sen. (Dr.) Zani for her effort in this Bill. I also thank the Committee for many hours they spent in collecting all the data that led to formulation of this Bill....

again back to useful land. Otherwise, examples abound everywhere; we know that states or countries which have not taken care of the environment as they exploit natural resources have had to spend much more than what they got from natural resources to reconstitute their environment. Some have even lost it...

products are immediate to the communities lying within areas where natural products are found.Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we know that over the years and ages, the conflict over natural resources has brought about wars and conflicts all over the world. I do hope that in this country the exploitation of...

Sen. Kanainza, you need to use a temporary card and not another Senator’s card, so that you can be captured on the HANSARD. Yes, Sen. Omondi.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I want to thank the Mover of this Bill because the Bill touches on Kenyans. Since ancient times, Kenyans have been benefiting from the blessings that God has given them in different regions of the country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when...

distribution of resources, there will be no reason to fight. Whenever there is unequal distribution of resources, cases of theft will increase. Even if we work so hard to reduce the level at which people go against the laws, some situations force Kenyans to break those laws.Democracy and human rights...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this Bill. I will start by appreciating what Sen. (Dr.) Zani and the team has done, to ensure that we have the Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill, (Senate Bill No. 34 of 2014)...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. We know that Kenya is endowed with enormous resources. Over time, communities have been complaining about the benefits that have been accruing from the natural resources that are...

It is, therefore, important that we also note that one of the major reasons that this Bill is before this House is because the various authorities that have been generating whatever they are generating or running – that is the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the Ministry of Mining and the...

Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to add my voice to this Bill which is very critical. It touches on the natural resources and benefit sharing. This Bill is very important because when you read Article 71 (1) (a) and (b) of the...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani, the Chairperson of the ad hoc Committee on Legislation on Royalties accruing from Natural Resources.In our visits to the counties, one of them being Machakos, we found that the county and the people have been exploited to the maximum. When we went round we found that stones...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Zani for thinking at a time like this where we have a lot of issues in terms of the resources in our counties and how they should be shared. On behalf of my Committee, the...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to, first of all, congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani and the Members of the Ad hoc Committee who took the trouble of going round the world to see how other communities handle benefitting from the natural resources and came up with these...

For instance, we have a salt processing company in Magadi which has been there since the colonialists set eyes on it. The community has lost that kind of a resource because somebody grabbed it and allocated himself a lease of as many years as he wanted, and now the communities...

Exploitation had to be done from there, near the power plant, so that they can benefit fully from it. Those are communities which have realized their rights, but the existing laws do not give them that benefit. That is why they have to fight for it.Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there...

We will improve our livelihoods and establish infrastructure. In places where illiteracy rates are high, this could serve as a source of bursary or scholarships for communities, not only to increase their literacy levels, but making sure the children go to school.This will also assist the community to train their...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, its only five minutes remaining to adjournment or the interruption of the Business. Therefore, I will not have a lot to say, except to support this Bill very strongly because its intention and contents are very important. It is something we have been lacking in this...

from those areas where the exploitation of the natural resources is taking place may have other factors that can be included in this Bill. But I support it very strongly because I have looked at the intention and purpose of this law. It is very clear that the Bill seeks...
