• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The other qualification that was put in for the County Land Registrar is that they should have not less than five years standing as an advocate of the High Court with five years’ experience in land administration. A person shall not qualify for appointment unless he is an Advocate of the High Court. This will help when it comes to making decisions in the area of land adjudication. We will have somebody who understands the law. We should not just have somebody making a decision so that they can either grab land whose lease has expired or make decisions that ... view

• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, unless he does not understand what I was talking about, I was talking about the qualifications of the Chief Land Registrar and what he is supposed to do. It does not state anywhere that anybody appointed to the Commission has to meet the requirements set out in the Bill. That is the definition in terms of what each area is responsible for and what they are supposed to do. Let me repeat it in case he does not understand. These were the qualifications for the Deputy Chief Land Registrar and for the County Land Registrar. They ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The NLC Act proposes to eliminate duplication of institutions at the county level and to provide a manner in which the Commission shall undertake investigations in historical land injustices, complaints pursuant to Article 67(2) of the Constitution and to harmonise the mandate of the Commission with that of the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development.

• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: In many countries around the world, oil, which is a natural resource and a source of wealth, has turned into a commodity that has brought tears, acrimony, chaos and anarchy due to lack of proper regulation and the lack of establishment of the requisite laws that would empower local communities, ensure that the country gains revenue and ensure that the beneficiaries of the natural resources are the owners of the country and not the investors who come in to gain in all aspects. In cities in the Middle East like Dubai and other nations, you can see the benefits of ... view
