• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, he heads that sub-committee on the adjudication of the common boundaries of the large Meru and Tharaka Nithi counties. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think it is not a matter that requires a lot of debate; really he did not feel hurt neither did I feel hurt. My other name is Mwiru, which means black. Therefore, I do not have a problem with being called “black”. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for according me the opportunity to second this Motion that has been moved so well by my good colleague, hon. Langat. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the land issue in this country is too emotive. It is an issue which is supposed to be handled with a lot of soberness. It is a matter that should not be shrouded in politics because really, right from Independence, the agitation for land was a major issue for this country to move into Mau Mau and start seeking the independence of this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want, first of all, to support His Excellency the President for the move that he made. Indeed, to revoke the titles in Lamu that were given to very few individuals is a matter that is not very clear either in terms of administration of land and law. But that was a good gesture. However, at the same time, as we see the law today is that, he, personally, as the President of the Republic, cannot revoke titles directly. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I am happy that he directed the agencies that are required to do the necessary due diligence to make sure that those titles are revoked. However, the issue is that the two agencies that are supposed to do the same are, again, trying to wash their dirty linen in public. They are saying that, that thingcannot be done at this time and others are saying that it cannot be done another time. That is actually some way of playing politics. If hon. Orengo, did the cancellation of titles in Lamu at that particular time when he was the Minister for ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not trying, at any given time, to support the kind of talk that is being done by the Cabinet Secretary of Lands at the moment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Indeed, due diligence must be done and when you say you are going to revoke the titles and yet you know precisely it is only this Parliament that has got the power even to amend the law to make her revoke--- It is the National Land Commission (NLC) that is supposed to do that job. So, it is sleeping on its job so to say. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so, what I want to say, and we must be level- headed in dealing with this particular matter - is that there is no law, human thinking or magnanimity in someone ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am really wondering aloud whether stadia were really under the former Ministry of Lands or the Departmental Committee on Lands. I think I need to do some research first before I commit myself and the Committee to undertake an investigation. This is because this matter does not fall under my Committee and I am not in charge of sports. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of clarification, hon. Deputy Speaker. I have not said that it is not within my Committee’s mandate. I think the best thing to do is to go the way hon. Members indicated; we should write a letter to the Ministry of Lands and Urban Development to get a clarification on the position of that stadium. I think we can get it if at all they are working on it. They can shed light on how much has been spent, how much is yet to be spent and what is going on there. Therefore, we can write a ... view
