• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support this clause. When it comes to the issue of investment or issues relating to land, the earlier the resolution in terms of areas that need resolution, the better for all parties concerned because it forces everybody to bring the information together and have their facts correct before they proceed. One year’s delay becomes a bit too long when it comes to issues of land resolution. This is just for the sake of harmony and communities living in peace. I support. view

• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: For encroachment on other people’s land unintentionally, six months instead of one year and a penalty of Kshs100,000 instead of Kshs500,000 as had been proposed, would be more in line. view

• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. The Land Laws (Amendment) Bill has been brought to the House to amend the Land Registration Act, the NLC Act and the Land Act. The Acts were enacted for the implementation of the Constitution in order to clarify the roles and mandates of the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development.

• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We have seen the hullabaloo, the madness and roadside shows that have taken place because there has been inconsistency in the definition of who is responsible for what. It has created a situation of lawlessness. People are being evicted from their land. It has also given opportunity for cartels to thrive. The issue of land is very emotive. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: As early as yesterday, we have saw land issues, especially in Naivasha become a matter of life and death. Five members of a family have been slashed with machetes and are currently in hospital. Many of these people are from my county. They had purchased land to settle their families. Because of interference by some Government officials who have withdrawn security, they were invaded by some members of the Maasai community in Naivasha and their land was taken over. We have several funerals lined up this week and these deaths have been caused by land issues. This particular topic is ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: As the representative of the people, it is important to have some sort of sanity. There should be justice for those people who have settled on their land. They should farm and receive protection. In the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Kenyans decided that anybody is entitled to settle anywhere in this country.

They will stop the injustices that they use when they sell their land and turn around The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: against the people to whom they sold the land. They attack them to try and evict them from the land. Every Kenyan is entitled to protection and to settle anywhere in this country. Land is a means of economic production. It is not supposed to be an issue where communities rise up against each other. We have one country. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill proposes to amend the Land Registration Act to clarify the mandate of the NLC and the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development. That is very clear. If we do not pass this particular amendment and make every person responsible and understand his mandate, we will continue to see these kinds of injustices and deaths of many Kenyans. This Bill provides key definitions and offices of the Deputy Chief Land Registrar and the County Land Registrar. It also describes their qualifications.
