  • 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. The matter before this House is very serious because it touches the lives of Kenyans. What touches the lives of Kenyans is not an issue of politicking. It is not business as usual. It is a matter of life and death. Life is very precious. We cannot afford to lose even one individual in this country. Kenya used to take human life very preciously, but of late, it has become normal that people are killed daily. It has become a habit as if there is no Government, like in ... view
  • 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: When a foreign nation’s security agencies harass the ordinary people of another nation whenever they come across them, and when the matters are brought to the attention of the Government nothing is done about it, then there is something wrong. This matter must be addressed. It has been coming to this House time and again. It should be resolved once and for all because it is not an issue that cannot be solved if addressed diplomatically. It must be given the attention it deserves. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
  • 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On the other hand, I want to thank the security forces in Mandera and the North Eastern region as a whole for containing the situation of insecurity in that area. Of late, the Government has taken a lot of actions. Parliament has voted a lot of money for investment in security in terms of procurement of equipment and firearms. We need to continue with that spirit. view
  • 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief on this matter. I thank the minds behind this Bill. The way they have thought of it is maybe to safeguard and protect community land. The real issue is: Will this Bill safeguard those community interests in community land? I am afraid that unless proper regulations are put in place to enforce and implement this Bill, we might be heading to a problem. In the first place, who are these communities? Are we talking about tribes or settlements? This community issue should be defined properly if it is not ... view
  • 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: boundary of those communities. People could not differentiate between the administrative boundaries of districts and community boundaries. If we are not careful, demarcating community land by itself or looking at the issue of boundaries can be very chaotic. It can be more of a problem than a solution. So, we need to be very careful about these community lands. view
  • 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The last point is the management of those lands. Time has come for the Government to look at the issue of wildlife-human conflict, as Hon. Shidiye said. It has to be addressed because it is a fact that is there today, more so in areas of Ukambani and Taita-Taveta. It is really very bad when two-thirds of the landmass in an entire county is said to be a game park or game reserve. We need to also look at the area of subdivisions because, sometimes, the areas are subdivided and people get titles without the knowledge of those communities. The ... view
  • 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I want to say that the regulations that will govern this Bill must be drafted in a manner that they are very clear and understandable to the common man. Thank you very much. view
  • 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I want to thank the Members of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives; the secretariat of that Committee and the Members of this House for the support they have given us on this Report. This Report has passed through many thick and thin issues. At last we have managed to bring it to the House after the delay. As has been said, we have had many challenges in bringing this Report to the House. Finally, we have to conclude this debate and I thank God. I want to set the record ... view
