• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: difficult because they want to bring it as an umbrella thing; they just want to argue about land. If we are to do any law, we must get to know exactly where it affects and what is supposed to be the effect after we have enacted it as a Parliament. It is also important to note that the same mediated version has already been passed by the Senate. It is only awaiting our approval as a National Assembly because it is prerequisite in the Constitution. We should also do the same so that this law can be passed before 27th ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am well guided, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was just about to come to that. On the Land Laws (Amendment) Bill the one that I am moving right now, everything was agreed up to the title of this Bill. On Clause 2, we felt that we need to amend what we had already passed in the National Assembly. The only thing under Clause 2 was deleting the word “means” and putting “includes”. Which means it was just about language so that it conforms to the Constitution. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The amendment seeks to provide for the definition of “caution” in land as included in the caveat. “Caveat” and “caution” are almost the same thing. The other clause that was affected was Clause 3 of that Bill. Previously, under Clause 3 there was no consultation with the county government but we have now included that matter of consulting the county government together with the national Government. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We also introduced a new Clause which is Clause 3A, that the Bill be amended by inserting New Paragraph 3A. This is for the purposes of administration and effective land management for county government to asses all document maintained in the registration. What is happening is that county government may require to asses documents held by the national Government for their own use, not necessary for any generation of revenue but for the purpose of their usage and planning. After that they can consult with national Government and asses those records. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We are saying this because if the records are only kept by the national Government after registration and the county government cannot access, there is a likelihood of the county government assuming an area that has already been registered or alienated from the public and producing other records which are against what has been registered. Therefore, duplication will be eliminated if they can access those other records at the national Government. We only amended Clause 15 so that we do not include the county land management boards. The gist of this is that the county land management boards are independent ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: telling him that whatever action he was trying to take is illegal and he would sue him. You can see the kind of parallel operations that they were conducting. The other one is Clause 36 of the Bill. It was supposed to be amended in sub-clause (a) by deleting the word “and” appearing in paragraph (1) and substituting therefor the word “public”. There was need for the NLC to be given discretion to maintain an effective land information system for management of public land. Article 67 of the Constitution gives the NLC mandate to manage public land on behalf of ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to thank my colleagues for pouring those kinds of accolades to the Mediation Committee. I also thank you, most sincerely, because you have been very patient with these particular Bills. You have also been giving this Committee enough time to continue consulting and come up with what we have today. One thing I am happy about is the comment by the Member for Saboti, which was responded to by Hon. Kenta. If you have stayed in a piece of land for 12 years and there is eviction, the people who ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: There was a comment on the maximum and the minimum land holding. This particular Bill has taken care of that aspect. I hope that this time round, Kenya will achieve the reforms it intended to achieve when we passed the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. I want to thank all the Members, even those who are not in the Chamber right now, because we have walked together in preparing this Bill. view
