20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly:
First, from the outset, there is the element of absolute discrimination because you are biased to one gender. Secondly, you know the man from Emurua Dikirr who is the only member in this House who is not married. So, he does not understand these matters.

He is about to get married but he is not yet married. Secondly, different communities view land in relations to women. We are making these laws for all the 42 communities. I will request the Chair to withdraw because the provision in the Bill is better. Let us leave it the way it is.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me bring some sanity. I indulge the Chair of the Committee. Land is very emotive. If you go by this amendment, which says “Any conversion which commenced before the promulgation of the Constitution shall be deemed to have commenced under this Act,” I am telling you that you will bring chaos in this country. Committee Chair, look at the amendment in the original Bill. Clause 35 is very good. Clause 35 (1) (a) says: “such right is recognised and registered in accordance with this Act.” There are Kenyans who got land legally after the promulgation ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support this amendment. The way it is in the Bill is based on Article 66 of the Constitution. If we leave this land to the owners, and the way the world is going, somebody somewhere must regulate because people will come and do any kind of business. Some people will start doing some things which are contrary to our culture, our religion and our way of life. So, I want to thank the drafters of this Bill. I want to thank the Chairman of the Committee. You have seen that there are people ...

Why Hon. Fatuma is reducing the fine to Kshs250,000 is because her camels have been encroaching on our land. Her camels move around Garissa and Wajir counties. They also go to conservancies owned by other people. The best thing we can do even for the Maasai community during drought - the Turkanas, Somalis and the Samburus – is to restrain our animals to our regions.

I support what is in the Bill so that people know that land is owned by particular community and you cannot be a squatter through grazing and looking for water.

20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I oppose the amendment. I would like to indulge the Chair of the Committee to look at his amendment. In the Bill, it is securing an ongoing adjudication but his amendment says that if adjudication is not concluded, such land shall be deemed to be community land. It is very dangerous because if the adjudication is not complete, the community will come back. I know where he comes from. The area from which the Member comes is in Mau, which is a hot area. The Departmental Committee Chair has the good intention of making sure adjudication ...

Alternatively, he can introduce a further amendment to bring in the five year clause. The five year safeguard is very good.
