• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to remind the Hon. Members from the other side so that they do not contradict themselves. Just yesterday, they were here telling us that one of the functions of the NLC shall be to advise. Today, we are in the same section and they are now removing each and every power of the NLC. The first one that they want to delete is talking about “to advise the national Government on a comprehensive programme for the registration of title in land throughout Kenya”. It was just yesterday, less than 24 hours. The ... view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: I just want to clarify on behalf of my colleagues that the amendment that Hon. Kamoti Mwamkale had proposed was to totally delete Clause 43, which sailed through. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, thank you. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg your indulgence in this matter. What you were explaining is that the content of the amendment is the same. What varies is the numbering. That could have been a typographical error. It cannot be that the Committee Chair has been caught hands down. As a matter of fact, this should be a wake-up call that the Committee was not ready if they thought that that clause was referring to other things altogether. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be deleted. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as you rightfully put it, we need to be a bit careful and not get overly sentimental in these matters. The reason I propose that Clause 3 be deleted is so that the original clause can be maintained the way it is. This is an omnibus Bill. This clause proposes to amend Clause 6 (1) of the Land Registration Act, which says:-. “For the purposes of this Act, the Commission in consultation with national and county governments may, by order ... view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: What the Bill has suggested is to totally alienate the country governments. They have proposed to delete the words “Commission in consultation with national and county governments may” and substitute therefor with the words “Cabinet Secretary in consultation with the Commission shall”. This goes against the values of the Constitution. Whether we like it or not, the framers of this Constitution were very clear that the county government have a role to play in terms of land. In sub-cause (b), the Committee proposes to amend Subsection 5 by deleting the word “Commission” appearing immediately after the words “by the” and ... view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: I repeat, let us not personalise these offices. Let us not say that it is because of this person or the person who is currently the governor or the commissioner. Let us remember that even in the absence of those individuals, those offices will still be there. The Constitution does not talk about individuals but offices that are there. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: ( Inaudible ). view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: The way the Chair is going, one misleading point will lead to another misleading point. Article 67(2) of the Constitution says:- “The functions of the National Land Commission are— (a) to manage public land on behalf of the national and county governments; (b) to recommend a national land policy to the national government;---” view
