17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
You have just heard from the producer and you have to hear from the consumer now. Hon. Linturi is fighting for the producers. I read in the newspapers today that some Germans were arrested for carrying twigs of Miraa and I need to be corrected by the offices of the Inspector-General of Police (IG) and DPP. If that is the case, I will be a more victim in my backyard than even the producers because there are people who trade in and consume Miraa . The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Departmental Committee on Administration and ...

is taken to court. The British banned the exportation of Miraa to their country. It now means that we are still a colony of Britain. Britain is now saying that anybody carrying Miraa must be arrested. We must save the Meru community plus their friends who consume and trade in Miraa . I want you to direct the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security to summon the IG and the DPP to ask the existing law under which the charge sheet was prepared. Under Article No. 95 of the Constitution, ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am quite happy with that amendment. There is a lot of clarity with the words “be owned by” as opposed to “vest in”. So, I support the amendment.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to second, Hon. Midiwo on this particular issue. Let me say, by and large, that this is a very important Bill which is well intended and will be historic in its nature in terms of land management in this country.

17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
During my contribution in the debate of this particular Bill, I pointed out certain sensitive clauses within this Bill. I want to agree with Hon. Rasso that, indeed, certain clauses have sinister motives and they have not been amended in any way. I want to point a few of those particular ones. If you look at Clause 8, it literally takes power away from NLC and gives it to the CS. Everything in that particular clause gives almost absolute power to the CS. This is not a consulted position. We raised our concerns on this issue with the Chair of ...

17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
Yes, I am seconding and giving grounds. This particular Bill says that land, by the enactment of this Bill, becomes mine. This is not right and is not what is intended. Grabbed land must be surrendered back to the communities that own it or the national Government, if need be, so that it can be redefined as community land again. There are a number of clauses which I can point out. That will mean that the noble thing for the Committee to do is to call stakeholders.

Yes. I am seconding the Adjournment Motion. I am just giving you the grounds for that. The continuation of this debate, in my view, is going to antagonise a lot of things. It is better we adjourn this debate, go back and consult. There are a lot of good amendments that have been suggested by the Committee, but there are quite a few of them that require further consultations and amendments to be agreed upon.
