• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for protecting me. I beg to give Notice of the following Motion - THAT pursuant to Standing Order No.37 the Senate do now adjourn to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance namely; demolition of homes and properties in Mavoko, Machakos County. view
• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No. 37, the Senate do adjourn to discuss the definite matter of urgent national importance, namely, demolition of houses and properties in Mavoko, Machakos County. In line with Article 43 of the Constitution, shelter is a basic need. The Mavoko Portland residents were never issued with a notice of demolition and/or relocation plan or place. The leadership of Machakos County; the Governor, Senator and area Members of Parliament (MPs) were never consulted on this issue. After the lapse of lease, they would have had a consideration to give ... view
• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: present Government promised relocation of citizens who reside on public land. I wonder what changed. The other day, the President told us it is a win-win situation. I request the Government to quickly come up with a relocation and compensation plan for the affected residents on the public amenities; schools, hospitals and religious institutions. Can the Government have an agreement with the county government and settle the issue in terms of payments and title deeds? We have seen this before with Waitiki Farm in Likoni, where the county and the Government paid Kshs1.2 billion to the national Government to save ... view
• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will wait for Sen. Osotsi to finish with you so that you can pay attention. By morning, 3,500 estimated houses, eight churches and four schools were already down. The demolitions are still on and we do not know if they will continue up to tomorrow. This is unfair and inhumane. Those children are out, not going to school and El-Nino is here with us. Those people are outside not knowing where they will go. Where was the Government by the time these people bought this land, were allocated, given plans for building, paid, contacted National Environment ... view
• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I just want to clarify that we, as the Machakos County leadership, did not wait until we came here. For humanitarian grounds, our people are sleeping outside and not only in Machakos County alone. Kenyans in Mavoko are sleeping outside and children are not going to school. Are we supposed to keep quiet as the leadership of Machakos County? The Governor took lawyers immediately the next day and they went to court to apply for an application of urgency to stop the demolition. They were told to go back and serve all the parties and ... view
• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I still insist that Sen. Thang’wa should come out clearly and say what he means by the Motion is for protecting criminals. I am not here to protect any criminal. I am here to defend my people of Machakos County. view
• 17 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Committee of Lands, Environment and Natural Resources should move to Mavoko to know what is happening as they speak to those people and see how they can sort out those issues of land. view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No.232(1)(b), I hereby present to the Senate a Petition submitted by the members of Muindi Mbingu Memorial Ngelani Association who are citizens of the Republic of Kenya and residents of Machakos County. As you are aware, under Article 119(1) of the Constitution, and I quote - “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including enacting, amending or repealing any legislation.” The salient issues raised in the said Petition are as follows - THAT, the Petitioners have a membership of over 800 people and ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: The petitioners pray that the Senate investigates this matter to establish accurate records and documentation of the true extent of the said historical injustices, as well as the true identity of individuals and institutional perpetrators in the colonial period, and recommends to the national Government and any other person, measures that ought to be undertaken to provide redress for the historical injustices suffered by the Akamba People. view
