I know that Hon. Duale will come with the argument that Clause 193 talks about an anticipation of 194 (1). He is already anticipating. I wish to remind him that Clause 194 (1) says: “The Cabinet Secretary may”. The word used is “may” and not “shall”. I wish to state that Kenyans have been hurt. We do not need to start going into figures of how much losses manufacturers and small and medium scale business people in this country have incurred due to negligence of Kenya Power. I request my colleague, Hon. Gumbo to second.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to re-emphasise and to request my brother, Hon. Mwadime, to drop that amendment. When we sat down, I for one was a bit weary of this particular clause.

Let us leave this clause the way it was in the original Bill. Let us not give leeway to people who stole land. Many Members want to ensure that we reject this particular amendment. Trust land was stolen from Kenyans.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have been trying to convince my colleague, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee. The basis for this particular amendment of ensuring that there is public participation is that community land is vested with the county governments. Constitutionally, legislation of this nature should be done in consultation with the National Land Commission (NLC). We are pleading with the Chairman to simply change this amendment to read: “THAT, Clause 48 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause (2) by inserting the words “in consultation with the county governments or the Council of Governors and the ...
