• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 40 of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph− “(b) in sub-section (2) by deleting the word “public” appearing immediately after the word “unlawfully occupies”.

• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to oppose that proposed amendment again. The county land management boards are not the property of the NLC at the moment. The county land management boards have been approved by the county assemblies and are answerable to them. We want the NLC to devolve itself directly, other than using those boards. The county land management boards are the ones which are manipulated by the governors and the county assemblies. They can afford to take the National Land Commission (NLC) to court because they have been approved by another body. They are not part of ... view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is important that we look at the principal Act, the Constitution and what we are trying to amend. It is important that I explain to Hon. Wanga what we are trying to do. We are erasing the word “board”, which is in the Act, so that we can realign the NLC with Article 67 of the Constitution. That is the inconsistency we are trying to remove. This will enable the NLC to devolve itself directly to the counties other than involving the County Land Management Boards. That is why we are deleting this clause. view

• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: The amendment is to align the Act with Article 67 of the Constitution of Kenya. On the matter that has been raised by my friend, Hon. Nassir, yesterday we agreed on the fact that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) shall--- We used the word “shall”. That is to pick what is in Article 67 of the Constitution that the CS has to consult in terms of the advisory role of the NLC. So, I do not see why we are now getting back there. So, we are just aligning this matter with the Constitution and not the Act because the Act ... view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Not really, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. After having heard from Hon. Kajwang’, allow me one minute to consult with my team. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: I think, as the Chair, I am allowed to consult. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, having consulted, I think there is no harm in retaining the words “future generations” because the country and Parliament are progressive. In future, Parliament can afford to determine how such lands can be owned. Therefore, there is no harm in withdrawing the words “future generations” and retaining the rest of the amendment. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: I have only withdrawn the words “future generations” and we revert to the original amendment. view
