- 19. MOTION - DECLARATION OF CATTLE RUSTLING AS A NATIONAL
DISASTER AND ESTABLISHMENT OF A SPECIAL FUND FOR VICTIMS
(Sen. William Cheptumo, MP)
THAT AWARE THAT, cattle rustling is a major menace and security threat in the South and North Rift regions and some other regions of the country;
CONCERNED THAT, the menace has since left irreparable and negative socio- economic impact which include but are not limited to increased number of widows, widowers, orphaned children, poverty, displacement of people leading to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPS), disruption of educational programs and other economic activities owing to the destruction and/or closure of educational, health and other institutions;
FURTHER CONCERNED THAT; the people living in the affected regions have been denied the enjoyment of their social, economic and political rights as guaranteed to them under the Bill of Rights as enshrined in Chapter Four of the Constitution;
NOW THEREFORE, the Senate resolves that the National Government through the Ministry of Interior and National Administration and in collaboration with the Council of Governors:
- 1. Declares cattle rustling a National Disaster;
- 2. Establish a National Task force on cattle rustling to:
……………./Motion
(No. 118) WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 06, 2023 (MORNING SITTING) (2313)
(i) Investigate the causes of the rampant cattle rustling in the said region and the Country at large;
(ii) Establishes extent of loss and damage the cattle rustling has occasioned to the communities in all the affected Counties;
- 3. Create a special fund for mitigating the losses suffered by and in
compensating all victims of cattle rustling and settle all internally displaced persons occasioned by the menace.
- 20. MOTION - DESIGNATION OF A MONTHLY CAR FREE DAY AND COUNTY
CAR FREE ZONES
(Sen. Crystal Asige, MP)
THAT AWARE THAT, Kenyans have a right to a clean and healthy environment pursuant to Article 42 of the Constitution;
NOTING THAT the National Climate Change Action Plan identifies transportation as the fourth largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions which if uncontrolled, will result to negative impact of climate change that will adversely affect millions of Kenyans;
CONCERNED THAT the number of private vehicles has significantly grown leading to increased road accidents, carbon emission and vehicle congestion costs which are in excess of Kshs. 100 billion in GDP per year;
NOW THEREFORE the Senate urges the Ministry of Roads and Transport, in collaboration with the Council of Governors, and the National Climate Change Council to;
i.) identify, publicize and execute suitable monthly car-free days and County car-free zones in urban areas;
ii.) provide affordable, safe and efficient public transport including but not limited to development of Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) in the urban areas;
iii.) encourage the use of electric hybrid buses and provide appropriate incentives for their use; and
iv.) design an infrastructure that can support non – motorized transport facilities such as pedestrian and bicycle access within urban centers; and
v.) ensure inter-modal connectivity among the various transport modes.
- 21. MOTION - DEVELOPMENT OF A POLICY AND LAW FOR SOCIAL RISK
MANAGEMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN
KENYA
(Sen. Catherine Mumma, MP)
AWARE THAT the Constitution has entrenched a strong Bill of Rights in Chapter 4, which recognizes human rights including socio-economic rights and the principle of equality and non-discrimination; ……………./Motion
(No. 118) WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 06, 2023 (MORNING SITTING) (2314)
FURTHER AWARE THAT Kenya lacks a policy for guiding the management of these Social Risks in the design and implementation of infrastructure projects;
CONCERNED THAT inadequate attention to social risks in the planning and implementation of development projects at both national and county levels makes them unacceptable and end up costing the taxpayer colossal sums of money in suits filed before the courts and tribunals by local communities and affected interest groups seeking protection from such social risks;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Senate resolves that:
- 1. The National and County Governments develop a Social Risk
Management Policy that outlines the standards, guidelines and procedures for guiding infrastructure and other development projects both at the national and county governments; and
- 2. The national executive establishes an independent multi-sectoral
agency under the authority of the Cabinet secretary in charge of Social Security and Protection to design a mechanism that can factor in the inclusion of Social Impact Assessments standards and monitor their implementation in infrastructure and other development projects in Kenya.
- 22. MOTION - APPEAL TO COUNTY GOVERNMENTS TO SET ASIDE LAND
FOR THE PLANTING OF INDIGENOUS TREES
(Sen. Richard Onyonka, MP)
THAT, AWARE of the crucial role played by indigenous trees in purification of air and combating of climate change, protection against floods and water pollution, in the field of medicine, nutrition and timber production, among other roles;
APPRECIATING that the National Government, through the National Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration Programme, plans to increase the national forest cover to 30% by planting fifteen (15) billion trees and, in furtherance of the Programme, gazetted 13th November, 2023 as a Public Holiday to allow Kenyans to plant trees;
CONCERNED that the Government is yet to establish elaborate measures for the growing and protecting of indigenous trees and to involve such crucial players as the County Governments, hence impeding the sustainability of the programme;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Senate urges the 47 county Governments to set aside land and resources to be used in the planting and protection of indigenous trees, in support of the initiatives by the National Government.
