• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I knew that Hon. Jakoyo would go into turbulence because he preached water and decided to drink wine. I told him last night that things are not very good. Hon. Speaker, with your permission, I stand under Standing Order 51 and withdraw both Motions that are listed as Order Nos. 8 and 9. We want to consult and preach using the Bible and the Quran. We will preach water and because I do not take wine, I will drink water. Because I am the Mover, I want to withdraw both Motions and when the time comes, which is ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to speak to this Bill. At the outset, as this House implements its constitutional mandate of making laws, it is very important that we do so bearing in mind the goodwill of the many Kenyans who the laws we make in this House affect. I do not support this Bill. It should not be supported on the Floor of this House for various reasons. Number one, I do not understand why and how, through miscellaneous amendments, very many legislation particularly with regard to land, have been touched on substantively. I feel that there ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: of Land, Housing and Urban Development. For that reason this piece of legislation is intended to cripple and probably make irrelevant the NLC. Kenyans transitioned from previous constitutions into our current Constitution, 2010. Kenyans for their good reasons decided to entrust the NLC with very important roles with regard to the management of land in this country. This is in the Constitution under Article 67. This piece of legislation goes way beyond in terms of ensuring that the NLC is made irrelevant. There are a few things which I do not agree with and I want to point them out ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Under the Constitution, Schedule Four, Part 2(8)(b) and (c) clearly gives certain mandate to the county governments. What this piece of legislation intends to do is cunningly amend the Constitution by taking powers away from the counties and giving them to somebody seated in the Ministry Headquarters. This is not in good faith and should not be done. More so, it even says in Section 10(4) that the registrars shall not be held personally liable for unlawful Acts discharged by the Registrar under this Act. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, these are very important issues which as you rightfully guided deserve to be taken notes on. This particular section gives powers to the Registrar, who in the first place, is unlawfully given mandates which are not his under the Constitution. It even says that he should not be held personally liable for any mistakes made. I think it is a deliberate attempt to create and shield this office at the same time. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Department of Survey is given exclusive rights to determine boundary issues. This is very interesting because it even says in some parts that it will not even require to listen to the parties affected by the dispute of those boundaries, but will make its absolute decisions by itself. This is not good at all and we should not accept this but retain the laws as they are. That piece which is being amended should be retained. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: With regard to the NLC, there are a number of issues and this being a very large Bill and we might cover all of it, there is a deliberate attempt to mutilate it. Section16 of this piece of legislation is about the process of registration of land. The previous Act had provided that if a man and a wife owns a piece of land together and one person wishes to change that ownership, the other spouse has a right to be informed. This particular legislation takes away that right and it should not be regarded. I find it very draconian ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On the NLC, some of the issues that are given here sometimes are very surprising because if you look at Section 44 of this Bill which amends Section 15 of the NLC, it typically, wants to take away or delete Section 15 of the NLC Act. This is very interesting because Section 15 of NLC Act is one that mandates the NLC to investigate and research on historical land The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: injustices and make good recommendations on the same. Deleting that means somebody somewhere wants those historical land injustices not to be touched at all, investigated or resolved. For that reason and many others that I have mentioned, this particular piece of legislation deserves not to be passed. I believe it was made at the height of the conflict between NLC and the CS Land, Housing and Urban Development and it is manifested here clearly that power is being shifted away from NLC to the CS. What is interesting is that there are a number of issues here that touch on ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I present a Petition by the residents of Balambala Constituency on the change of course of River Tana between Mudey and Buradansa towns. I, the undersigned, on behalf of concerned residents of Balambala Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, rivers as natural resources are important because they support various economic activities like farming, provision of habitat for aquatic life, generation of hydroelectricity and transportation and/or movement of people, goods and services. view
