• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(a), I rise to give a Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 23rd February 2021, to prioritize business for consideration.

(ii) The Health (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 64 of 2019). I do not see any challenge with the Health (Amendment) Bill ... view

• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Murugara for bringing a closure to this debate because we have been on it for two days and several Members spoke to it. I want to thank all the Members who spoke to the Kenya National Library Service Bill. There was total consensus that we need to get libraries, a reading culture and to support libraries across all the counties. This is very positive because without that source of knowledge, our youth will be diverted to other anti-social behaviour from the social media and other platforms. I want to recognise that ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to reply. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, taking cognizance of the ongoing budget work and the heavy business under Order No. 9, which is a continuation of consideration of the Refugees Bill that has several amendments, there was a request by the Committee that we should take out the Bill and push it to next Tuesday to facilitate the harmonisation of the amendments by the Committee and three other Members. But I can now see the Committee has come. What I do not know is whether the harmonisation will be done at the Committee of the whole House or if we should give them time ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: the President referring the Bill back to us. So, I would urge that you re-organise the Order Paper by removing Order No. 9(ii) and taking it to Tuesday to facilitate that harmonisation. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I have heard the comments and I agree with your ruling that we need some time. I am also cognizant of the fact that, indeed, the matter was picked up by the Departmental Committee on Lands. If you look at the Report on Page 5, they are proposing some amendments on the same matter. They recognise that the Registrar does not have the power to approve sub-divisions. That is a domain of another person. The work of the Registrar is to register titles hence an amendment has been proposed by the Committee which would resolve part of those issues. Let ... view

• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, and I assure the Member you will have enough time. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill by the Hon. Member for Ruiru and you can tell from the passion with which he talked about the issue, he is really feeling the pinch given the population density that is in that area. I know the issue having served in the Ministry of Lands. The first Ministry that I served with the Joint Cabinet was the Ministry of Lands and Social Protection. The biggest challenge was the status of all the land that had been set aside for ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: In addition, I know we have that issue that Hon. Otiende has raised and I was going to raise the same in terms of Section 16. The proposal in our amendments in clause 16 is about the role of the Registrar. I can see the intention is obviously where people decide to have as part of a sub-division or sale of land, land that has been set aside as public land. Traditionally, what would happen is that people would actually produce a subdivision plan which would include private and public facilities. However, at the point of land allocation, you find ... view
