• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. As I was saying in my point of order, one the functions of the NLC is to manage public land on behalf of the national and county governments; First of all, if we are looking at the amendment from the perspective that you are removing duties from the Commission and giving them to the Cabinet Secretary (CS), then it is only fair that you show me where the Constitution says that these functions belong to the CS. That would be the reason for removing those functions from the Commission. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be deleted. In the words of my colleagues who vehemently seem to be totally against this, Clause 5 wants to take a whole section in the Land Registration Act by deleting the word “Commission” wherever it appears and substituting therefor the word “Cabinet Secretary.” If my memory is not that of a Goldfish, my colleague was saying that the county governments can be represented by the NLC.

• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: I never said it. I wish to be on record. The HANSARD can as well be seen.

• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: I was consulting like-minded Members. This is not going against the Constitution. I would like to withdraw the amendment. view

• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Let me tell you, the coastal people have the highest rate of squatters per acreage, depending on the size of land that is still there. We have people who live on pieces of land for long periods of time, but who are later on told that the land does not belong to them. We are here to represent the people who elected us. By the way, this does not just apply to the coastal people alone, your voters are also looking at you on television. view
