4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
Worse still, Committee sittings have become a parade where you are unable to distinguish who the Members are from the witnesses because, at one stage, the witnesses and Members mingle and start hugging. So, a person watching from outside would wonder who the Member of Parliament is and who a witness is. Imagine a judge walking into a court room and before he sits, he decides to hug and exchange all manner of pleasantries, including the jaw and teeth breaking laughter with witnesses, including the accused person or suspects. Committee sittings are just like the High Court sitting. After listening ...

4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
Secretaries, after vetting nominees, they pick their bags and leave. That is the kind of threshold we need to use. I can go on and on and give examples of what I regard as being misconduct by Members, but allow me to conclude by requesting that you guide this House and provide guidelines on how Members of this House and committees should conduct themselves while participating in the activities of the House in accordance with the Constitution and the Standing Orders. I know we conducted induction for Members, but as it appears there is need to establish guidelines on the ...

The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health and the Chair of Departmental Committee on Education and Research should listen to the matter that I am raising. It touches on them. It is chairpersons who run these committees. They must listen to me. How one individual out of the 349 Members behaves is how this House will be judged. We either sink together or we survive together. It is upon us to make sure that we protect the integrity of this House.

A number of us have gone to other jurisdictions like the US House of Representatives and the US Senate. Last week, those who watched Cable News Network (CNN) saw the FBI Director and the Attorney-General being grilled. Each Member was given five minutes. You ask your question within the five minutes and if you have further questions after you have finished your five minutes, you allow other Members to ask questions. If you watched the joint committee of this House, when the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Co-ordination of National Government and other people appeared, they were folding their hands ...

4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, as a background, this Bill was first introduced to the House in the 11th Parliament. It was passed by the National Assembly but lapsed and died at the Senate. So, we have republished it and that is why it is before this House. As you are aware, the Kenya Vision 2030 development strategy is largely pegged on the development of infrastructure which again is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land, which in certain instances, needs to be acquired by the Government for the purpose of project development. That has created the need for us to ...

So, the creation of easement of land, creation of public rights of way or the acquisition of wayleaves for infrastructure installation is a matter that is being discussed in this Bill. Land is required for building highways and major road infrastructure. Land is required by the Government in the construction of railway lines and substations. Land is required in the construction of big transmission wayleaves and other major infrastructural installations and projects. The ease with which the required land or rights over land are accessed is a pointer or it signals Kenya’s quality in terms of ease of doing business. ...

Hon. Speaker, Hon. Millie and the Member for Soy cannot speak to each other across the aisle. He can cross over. They can have handshakes and hugs. Clause 2 proposes to amend Section 2 of the Land Act, 2012 by introducing a definition on new terms including “just compensation”, “prompt,” “full” and “tribunal.” These are new sections.
