9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
Before I go into the details of this Bill, it is one of the most controversial and important Bills on the land laws. It is unfortunate that we are hardly a dozen or a group of less than 14 or 15 Members. I am sure our colleagues are busy in their constituencies serving the nation. This is a Bill that I expect Members to get on the HANSARD and give due diligence. As you are aware, legislation relating to land was enacted by Parliament as required under Article 261(1) of the Constitution. Having done that under Section 15 of the ...

9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
Along that line, under Section 159 of the Land Act, 2012, which we did in the 10th Parliament, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development was under obligation and required to commission a scientific study. This was to do a determination of the economic viability of what we call minimum and maximum acreage of land in respect of private land for various land zones in the country. This is where I earlier said it is a very important piece of legislation because this House has to make a determination on what is maximum or minimum acreage of ...

9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
This Bill also deals with historical land injustices, another very emotive matter. The Land Registration Act, 2012, the NLC Act, 2012 and the Land Act, 2012, were enacted as required by the Constitution in the 10th Parliament. The laws were enacted and created a lot of inconsistency. The provisions created inconsistencies and some of them created overlaps between the functions of the NLC and those of the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development. Their mandates were overlapping. The three Acts of Parliament have resulted in difficulties in the implementation of the Land Registration Act, 2012, the Land Commission Act, ...

conservancies. However, this Bill gives clarity between the roles of the community, the NLC and the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development. Clauses 8 to 10 are very important because they propose to amend Sections 12 and 14 of the Land Registration Act and insert a new section that creates the position of Deputy Chief Land Registrar, County Land Registrar and Land Registrar. It then states their qualifications and respective mandates. This will ensure that we have land registrars at the county and the national level. We will know their qualifications, their mandates, who signs the title and who ...

9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
On a lighter touch, we say in my community that the boundary of a pastoralist ends where the camel turns back. The camel will only turn back if the environment is very hostile. If it is very cold and the camel cannot survive, it will turn back. Where it turns back is where the beacon of the land of a pastoralist is. I do not know whether the fishermen say that the fish will turn back. Clauses 33 to 40 propose various amendments of inconsistencies between various provisions of the Act. Clauses 2 to 41 provide amendments to the Land ...

Clause 42 proposes the deletion of the definition of the term “Board”. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands who engaged stakeholders will tell us what they said. We will come with amendments and see the best way forward to deal with this matter. I am dealing with what is in the Bill now.
