Niko katika kamati inayohusika na ulipuzi wa 1998. Kila wakati huwa mnaona kwenye runinga kwa maana huwa tunaita wanahabari kuja pale. Itakuwa wazi hata kwenye kamati. Ninaunga mkono suala hili liende kwa kamati.

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 ...

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.

Can the Government have an agreement with the county government and settle the issue in terms of payments and title deeds?

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 ...

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 ...

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.
