  • 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement by Sen. Dullo, and congratulate her for bringing it to the attention of this House and the nation. In my view, Gazette Notice No.150 is illegal and should be revoked. Pastoralists already own their land collectively. What we seek is registered community land titles to evidence our ownership. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Gazette Notice is going to disempower communities, because while we are not averse to titling, we would like that to be done properly under the Community Land Act, where community tittles are issued and other ... view

  • 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I keep saying this again whenever I speak about land; governments are starting to become the number one grabber of community land. County governments are supposed to hold community land in trust, but not to just go ahead and do anything they feel like doing with it, because they do not own it. They are just trustees of community land. Section 5 of The Land Act, 2012 on customary tenure and Section 5(iii) of the Community Land Act, 2016 on inclusion of customary rights is very clear. For once, as the community of Isiolo, registration is ... view

  • 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: order for the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to gazette this illegal notice, which we are challenging in court, as we speak. Why has the Commissioner for Lands still not been appointed, and who would do this job in his absence? These are the questions that we are asking. The Government and Ministry should not do an inventory of public land prior to identifying community land. This goes against what we have given already and, therefore, we say, no to the illegal gazette notice. As communities of Isiolo, we have seen, with that notice that a lot of the community land is ... view
  • 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would also like to weigh in on this. I do not know why whenever it is a lady who has done something--- We do not need these patronising accolades that are not genuine. This is how it has now ended up derailing a very important issue on land matters in Isiolo, degenerating into gender issues. Therefore, this kind of patronising accolades are not welcome, and we do not even need them. Therefore, Senator, just get on with it and talk to the issues. view
  • 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate the Committee. Most committees in this House do a very good job and I would like to congratulate them. However, I have had a number of Statements to this Committee that have gone unanswered or were not satisfactory dealt with. I am wondering because I was listening very keenly to find out what happens to those and I have not heard anything. Perhaps, we could be told what happens in cases where a lot of time has lapsed and the answers to the questions we have asked have not ... view
