May 13, 2021 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 1 PARLIAMENT OF KENYA THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY THE HANSARD Thursday, 13th May 2021 The House met at 2.30 p.m. [The Speaker (Hon. Justin Muturi) in the Chair] PRAYERS PETITION HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT IN KIBWEZI EAST Hon. Jessica Mbalu (Kibwezi East, WDM-K): Hon. Speaker, I beg to present public Petition No.18 of 2021, on behalf of my voters. I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents of Kibwezi East Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution assigns the responsibility of protection of the environment and natural resources to the National Government; THAT, residents of Masongaleni, Thange, Mtito Andei and Ivingoni-Nzambani Wards of Kibwezi East Constituency continue to experience increased cases of attacks by elephants and other wild animals resulting in loss of lives, loss of livestock and destruction of crops and property including water tanks and other means of livelihood in these areas; THAT, numerous cases of human-wildlife conflict as well as applications for compensation of victims have been reported to the relevant authorities in vain; THAT, most parts of Kibwezi East Constituency including schools bordering Tsavo East National Park, Tsavo West National Park and Kyulu Hills National Park remain unfenced, thus making it easier for wild animals to stray out into people’s farms and areas of residence; THAT, learning in several schools in Kibwezi East Constituency that border the aforementioned parks has been paralyzed, at times for weeks on end, due to invasion by wild animals, particularly elephants; THAT, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) wardens are evidently overwhelmed by the situation resulting in delay in responding to distress calls from residents; THAT, efforts by residents of Kibwezi East Constituency to resolve the matter, including holding demonstrations against inaction by KWS, have been futile; and, THAT, the matters raised in this Petition are not pending in any court of law in Kenya. -

The Sinicization of Christianity: How China Is Responding to Religious Threats
The Sinicization of Christianity: How China Is Responding to Religious Threats By Dauti Kahura It is around 4.00 pm on an easy, quiet Sunday. At the Kingdom Hall in the upscale suburb of Kilimani, off Elgeyo Marakwet Road, a church service begins with a song. Kingdom Hall is where the Christian denomination of the Jehovah Witness (JW) meets to praise and worship God. In fact, unlike many other Christian denominations, they call their church service a Christian meeting. After the song, the congregants will pray and then follow the prayer with a 30-minute Bible lecture. The lecture could be on any of the ethical and moral scriptural teachings, as captured in one of the more famous JW’s teaching tracts, Watch Tower. The other is Awake magazine. While, Watch Tower deals with biblical teaching, Awake tends to concentrate on contemporary issues. These two pocket- size, simple and well-written, and available in many of the world’s languages, including African languages, have been the selling point of JW’s proselytising mission wherever they are stationed. The Bible lecture is followed by a one-hour discussion on the selected theme of the late afternoon. The discursive session closes with a song and then a prayer, just like it had begun. Unlike many of JW’s meeting across the country, this is a special meeting: the Bible, the prayers, songs, the Awake and Watch Tower tracts are all in Mandarin. And that’s because the worshippers are Chinese expatriates and migrants living in Nairobi. “The Jehovah Witness believe in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people, in their languages and without discrimination,” says one of the Chinese converts, who didn’t want to be named. -

Uhuru and the Kikuyu Question
‘I Don’t Understand Why Kenyans Are Broke’: Mr. Kenyatta’s Debt Distress Revisited By David Ndii In 2018, following the Raila-Uhuru détente we call the handshake, I went against the grain and argued against the anti-corruption campaign that ensued. My reasons were simple enough; Uhuru and Ruto were jointly culpable for the administration’s corruption, hence my contention that the fight against corruption was being politically weaponised. I postulated that politicising the war on graft would blow back on the handshake (it has). I voiced my concerns both publicly and privately. The response I got was that the anti-graft drive was strictly economic, and not political, motivated by the realisation that the government was hurtling towards a financial crunch. Different people on both sides of the handshake deal mentioned the figure of Sh300 billion, which they claimed was the amount that could be saved by stopping graft. I tried to explain the nature of the crisis that was unfolding but no one wanted to hear that fighting corruption was not the silver bullet. Heads were firmly in the sand. The Sh300 billion figure cropped up again a few weeks ago, this time as the amount of tax payments that are in dispute. It was disclosed that the government is proposing legislation that will require the disputed figures to be paid up front. It does not take much imagination to see how such a law could be abused. A government as desperate for cash as this one can make inflated tax assessments—which tax one has to pay first and ask questions later—while also opening another avenue for tax officials to extort taxpayers. -
