• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. Ranking is an important tool used worldwide to measure successes or failures. When we campaigned last time, winners and losers were known through ranking. Without ranking many things will not be resolved. In schools, if we do not rank we shall not get the gaps as to which schools are failing or succeeding. So, it is important for this tool to be brought back to our education system. Ranking in Kenya should be comprehensive. Even laymen should understand why their schools are doing better than others. Ranking should be re-introduced immediately. In ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I urge Members to be objective. Let us not be subjective. We are making laws for Kenyans. I support the amendment by Hon. Mwamkale. According to Article 234 of the Constitution, the amendments proposed by the Committee are unconstitutional. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 53 of the Bill be deleted. The gist of the matter is that one of the definitions of “controlled land” as per the Bill is land in Kenya, which is within a zone of 25 kilometres from the inland national boundary of Kenya. The Land Control Act (Cap. 302) is the one which controls agricultural land. Within those 25 kilometres, there are agricultural activities going on in some areas.

• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 106 of the Bill be deleted. There is no justification for the repeal as the objects of the Fund have not been achieved, or an alternative fund established. The Fund was to offer compensation to bona fide purchasers of land who lose land without notice. Its repeal offends Article 40 of the Constitution that requires compensation for any loss of land by a bona fide purchaser without notice. view

• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment by Hon. Mlolwa simply because of the checks and balances. As it is, it will ignore the fact that the register should be the record by another authority. The idea of checks and balances is very important. It should be left as it is. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendments by the Chair as they cater for what I had proposed to amend earlier under sub- clauses 2, 7 and 8. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have withdrawn this amendment as I have realised that it is going to bring more bureaucracy in setting aside land for public use. When a community sets aside part of the registered community land for public purpose, there should be a clarification on the effect of doing so. This is to ensure that community land rights to such land are secure and prevent abuse of the principal Act. As per the earlier amendments, I realised I am going to bring more confusion and bureaucracies. Therefore, I am dropping my amendment. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- 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
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 28 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause (5) by inserting the following new paragraphs immediately after paragraph (c) − “(d) the member practises activities that threaten or abuse the rights or title of the community on the land; (e) the member practises activities that are contrary to the approved land use plan in respect of the community land.” view
