• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The reason for this amendment is that it involves the updating of registers. Five years is a long time. Sometimes, there can be deaths within a period of one year. Therefore, updating it every year is better so that we can always know the membership before the end of five years. It is important to update the registers annually rather than after five years because there could be divorces and deaths. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, after this amendment was proposed, we looked at it and canvassed with the Member for Kibra who is here. If you look at paragraph (b), you will find that already there is a description of the community that is supposed to use the land – that is the user. The name of the registered community is there. Paragraph (d), where the amendment is, should have read “the use of the land” and not “the user of the land.” This is because the user is already described up there. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view

• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, actually, that is a legal term but sometimes when we leave these things very open even to the layman, there is always abuse. I also deal with land but the way it is here it is semantics. Another person may not interpret the way it has been put as a sentence. He may not interpret that it is the change of user or whatever the land is being utilised for. Therefore, it is good to put it in clear English other than using jargon. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you will realise that the ones who are opposing me are serious people in land matters and transactions. We can use the word that is already in the Bill so that the sub-clause stands as it is. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there are a number of laws that apply even when you are implementing another law or the likes of other laws. It should be like what happens in matrimonial property laws and other laws. They are supposed to come under the Community Land Bill. That is why we are saying “any other written law”. They must be relevant for that particular purpose. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, I have taken note of what--- view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to oppose the amendment proposed by Hon. Emanikor. Clause 12 of this Bill takes care of the fears that Hon. Emanikor is expressing. Therefore, it is a matter that is already taken care of by the same Bill. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Under which clause, Chair? view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 11 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (a) of Sub-clause (2) by inserting the words “in consultation with the respective county governments” immediately after the word “facilitate”. It is important, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for an adjudication officer to work with the county structures so that he cannot become rogue. He or she will be working within the jurisdiction of a county and he or she cannot afford to do that work alone. He or she will need to be supported by and to consult the structures of the ... view
