• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Hon. Nassir has referred to Article 248 of the Constitution, which is on independent offices. It is also important to realise that every independent office, including the National Land Commission (NLC), has its own work. Therefore, I have to take him back to Article 67 of the Constitution where the functions of the NLC are prescribed. Even before I give the justification of what I want to do here, I want us to look at Article 67 of the Constitution so that we appreciate that the NLC is also an independent body whose functions ... view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is important that you protect me like you have protected him well so that we move forward and understand each other. We are saying that Article 67(2) of the Constitution, which we all passed, outlines the functions of the NLC. Let us not disagree on a matter that is very straight. Clause 67 (2)(c) says:- “To advise the national government on a comprehensive programme for the registration of title in land throughout Kenya.” My amendment reads:- “Clause 3 of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph— “(a) ... view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: I understand, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Let me just explain my point. What we are trying to do is that we do not want--- Remember I was in the 10th Parliament just as you were. We passed these laws in a rush to make sure that we went to the campaigns. Today is the right time to rectify the same and make sure that every entity must play its role the way it is supposed, for the purposes of making sure that reforms on land are also taken. We have always cried of land issues. This is the only time ... view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph— “(a) in subsection (1), by deleting the words “Commission in consultation with national and county governments may” and substituting therefor the words “Cabinet Secretary in consultation with the Commission shall” The import of this amendment is to makes it mandatory for the Cabinet Secretary, who works for the national Government, to consult with the NLC in the constitution of registration The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: units. The whole essence of the amendment is to ensure that the CS does not do it unilaterally. He will have to consult the NLC. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to draw the attention of Hon. Members to the same Fourth Schedule of the Constitution that my friend and neighbour of Balambala Constituency are talking about. It talks about mapping and surveying, not registration. It is important to note that. The Supreme Court has already ruled that issues to do with registration are for the national Government. I am just begging my brother to give due functions to where they belong and leave the others to the other agencies. That is what we are trying to do. view

• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be deleted. Since we have dealt with Clause 3 and we are supposed to know that registration is done in consultation with the National Land Commission (NLC) and the Cabinet Secretary (CS), it is consequential that we have to do regulations on how to do that. That is the only thing we are introducing here. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Dr. Chris might not be following very well but he is my brother and a great man. In Clause 3, we have already known how the registration units are supposed to be done. We are saying now that other than having Clause 4 trying to prescribe, we need regulations which are supposed to come to this Parliament. That is the only thing. view
