• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: everywhere going through the public even though it is important because of the reason of ownership. Indeed, people with public interest issues should express themselves on those issues. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to second this important Motion as moved by the Chair of our Committee. Parliament was required to pass various pieces of legislation to give effect to the Constitution. One of the reasons why we have brought this big number of pieces is because of the timing and the fact that we have had two years without a piece of legislation. We want to utilise this opportunity to move related Bills together, so that we can maximise the usage of our time. One of the very important Bills that we ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Members of Parliament to grow. My party, the Forum for the Restoration of Democracy-Kenya (FORD-Kenya) is not a small party. It is the second oldest party after KANU in Kenya. It has a number of Members of Parliament. We are 17 Member of Parliament if you add my party leader, the Senator. However, they keep referring to us as a small party with about 80 MCAs. We do not get anything from the Political Parties Fund. I am concerned because that is my political party. This law is good and it will help to address these issues. The other bit ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also contribute to this Report by the Committee in regard to the degazettement of a section of the forest in Mount Elgon. At the outset, I would like to state that I am, indeed, sensitive to the matter of the forest in Mount Elgon because, as you are aware, Mount Elgon is found in Bungoma and I am a major stakeholder in Bungoma - apart from being one of the Members of Parliament. The issue before the House attempts to resolve various historical problems ranging from security, deforestation, ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: sensitive matter and we must be alive to that fact. If we are not careful, we will create another Mau Summit problem. Chepkitale was lawfully held as trust land by the Bungoma County Council since Independence on behalf of the Ogiek or Dorobo community. It needs to be noted that Chepkitale is unregistered community land and, therefore, ought to have been held as trust land - in trust of the people - the Dorobos themselves. Changing it will cause problems because the Dorobos are there. You cannot take them out of the forest. If you want to hold it in ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: system. There should be a clear demarcation of boundaries between Mt. Elgon gazetted forest and Chepkitale community land. Unless this is provided for, we expect that there will still be conflict between the communities, the forest and the general population in Bungoma. The county government where Chepkitale land falls, pursuant to Section 12 and 13 (3) (d) of the Community Land Act No.27 of 2016, should facilitate proper and sustainable management of the land with the Ogiek community involvement. They have to be involved in this. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Why do you doubt that, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker? view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am. The point I am driving at is that the people in Mt. Elgon - the Dorobo - ought to have been involved. It should be acknowledged that this is a matter that touches on the Constitution. It touches on existing law. These recommendations are good but, given the need to involve the other stakeholders who I recognise, I will be introducing - at some point - amendments to this Report so that it ensures that we first protect the interests of the community and the Constitution is respected. With those few remarks, I support ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
