• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It is an issue where we want to retrace the word “vest”. We have looked at the semantics of what is “vest” and with consultations, we have realised that it was a bit ambiguous in terms of interpretation. That is why we are amending this clause. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. If I look at the Committee’s amendment and that amendment by Hon. Mwadime, they are actually the same. He only needs to comply and allow us to go ahead. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended− (a) in subsection (1), by inserting the words “of the Constitution” immediately after the words “with Article 40”; and (b) in subsection (4), by inserting the words “or by negotiated settlement” at the end of the sentence. This is just a matter of clarifying the statement that is made in that agreement. It is a matter of clarity. That is why we are referring to the Constitution. Nothing much changes. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I agree with the sentiments of the Members especially when it comes to issues of land in this country. I also need to draw the attention of Members to the Report of this Committee which was very open to Members. It was tabled on 14th October 2015. Today, we are in March towards April. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, maybe it is the height. I agree with Members especially with regard to the importance of land in this country. I understand the sentiments of Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, who is my senior. However, this is a constitutional Bill which is supposed to be passed by 27th August 2016. We have a pileup of other Bills that are supposed to go through the conveyor belt. We tabled this Report around 14th October 2015. Consultations have been ongoing all along. That is why there are quite a number of amendments which for some of them, we may agree ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have finished. I wanted them to understand that I am also in a quagmire because I have another Bill which has a constitutional deadline. Hon. Members, I urge you to understand this. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo Washington, who is my friend, does not know that I am not a Meru. I am a Mutharaka. So, I am a pastoralist. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended− (a) in subsection (1), by inserting the words “of the Constitution” immediately after the words “with Article 40”; and (b) in subsection (4), by inserting the words “or by negotiated settlement” at the end of the sentence. The amendment is to give clarity and make sure that the State can compulsorily acquire ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have no objection to Hon. Tiyah Galgalo’s proposed amendment, but, it is also important to note what the Hon. Member has said; that there is mischief in one owning or trying to own land in any part of the country. I want to refer him to Article 40 of the Constitution of Kenya. I will read it.

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: “40. (1) Subject to Article 65, every person has the right, either individually or in association with others, to acquire and own property— (a) of any description; and, (b) in any part of Kenya.” The Hon. Member is out of order to insinuate that somebody is not supposed to own land in any part of this country. As I have said, whatever, Hon. Tiyah Galgalo has said, I have no objection with it because we are talking of a community owning a particular land and not a person. view
