• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, as hon. Members will recall, this special Sitting was called at the request of hon. Members to discuss the pending business, which is mainly the Bills that are scheduled in the Constitution and need to be approved by this House before the 27th of February. Hon. Members informed the House Business Committee (HBC) that it would be in the interests of this House to dedicate all the time available to the discussion of these Bills, and pend all the other business until the conclusion of these very important constitutional Bills. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware that when we looked at this matter yesterday in the HBC, we were undecided as to whether we should list Private Members Motions; again most of the hon. Members who would have wanted to move their Motions this morning are also engaged in the committees. The better thing to do was to anticipate the support of the hon. Members in terms of the exemption rather than bring the whole list of Motions that would have to be discussed if this Motion is not carried. Again this is coming at the request of the ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, this is a Procedural Motion. I do not wish to delve deeper into the merits or demerits of taking the Wednesday morning; after we complete all the Bills all the afternoons will be available for Private Members’ business. I want to call upon hon. Orengo to second this Motion. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: The Minister for Lands (Mr. Orengo): Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second and really I have nothing more to say. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.107, this House orders that the publication period of The Land Bill, Bill No.6 of 2012 be reduced from 14 to nine days. Hon. Members will recall that The Land Bill has been extensively discussed and it would have come to the Floor of the House together with The Land Registration Bill and the Land Commission Bill. However, because of the extensive consultations, its publication was delayed to take into account some of the inputs coming from the stakeholders. ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Bill that will facilitate the formation of the land management body, the National Land Commission to take over the responsibilities that are currently handled through the office of the Commissioner of Lands and what has been put within the councils through the trust and all that. As I start on the seconding of this Bill, I want to recognize from my own experience as the Minister for Lands in 2003 to 2006. This was the first job I ever did in the Government. I was thrown into a Ministry that ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have gone through the Bill and I am very happy with the contents. I really want to thank the people who have participated one way or the other in the formation of that. I know people are still asking for consultation, but we must draw a line as to when do we stop these consultations. That consultation has taken place since 1952 with the Senate and all that and so far, people have never agreed. However, one thing we must agree on is that we need an institutional framework to protect our land, whether ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to second this Bill and seek that this House does agree with us on the passage of this Bill. view
• 14 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I rise to second this Motion, may I also take this opportunity to wish hon. Members a very happy and productive new year. I know that you wished us that and I want to reciptocate and confirm that I truly believe that it will be a productive year. The productivity will start with the acceleration of the Bills so that we cut off the three days and have the Bill committed to the Committee immediately and we can start the work. With those words - I do not want to reduce on the productivity - I ... view
