• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my contention was not that the matter could not start. I was just requesting the Chair’s indulgence to re-arrange the matters on the Order Paper so that this matter comes in the afternoon. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I accept your directions, and I will go ahead. I beg to move:- THAT, aware that pursuant to Article 261(1) of the Constitution and the Fifth Schedule thereof the following Bills now pending before this House, namely: the Land Bill, 2012, the Land Registration Bill, 2012 and the National Land Commission Bill, 2012 are required to be enacted by this House not later than 27th February 2012; further aware that these Bills seek to implement critical and fundamental aspects of the Constitution; noting that owing to delays in the drafting, publication and presentation of these Bills ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these Bills deal with land. The substantive Bill dealing with land is the Land Bill, 2012. The critical deadlines required are all in that Bill, majority of them are all in that Bill. That Bill was published on 13th February, this year.

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The entire economy is based on land. What kind of land tenure do we have? Do we have a communal land tenure, or a private land tenure? How can land be utilised as collateral? There are requirements of gender and gender equity in the ownership of land. These are substantive issues and the Constitution requires very many of those issues to have been determined come the 27th of February. That is why we require more time in fairness to this House; the House has to have divisions based on debate, decision making ... view
