• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The second thing that this Bill proposes to do is to limit the policy making powers of NLC. But look at what Article 67(2)(b) of the Constitution says. It says that the National Land Commission shall recommend a national land policy to the national Government. So, it is their role to recommend. You cannot then limit its role in what it does. The only thing you can do with the policy it proposes is to redefine it in a way based on the proposal, but you cannot limit how it conducts that, Hon. Mwiru. The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The third thing that this Bill proposes to do – and which we really need to look at - is to deal with the minimum and maximum acreage of land. Article 68(c)(i) of the Constitution speaks to the fact that there will be legislation to do that. I will read it for you, Hon. Chair, because I respect you having done many things with you. It reads:- “Parliament shall enact legislation to prescribe minimum and maximum land holding acreages in respect of private land” I have seen what this Bill pre-supposes to do under Clause 159 (a). I hope I ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The second last thing I would like to speak to is the fact this Bill wants to regulate how evictions are done. The world of evictions is a whole world out there. Conducting evictions need to be something that needs to be thought out properly. There are international principles on how to conduct evictions and there are standards on how to do evictions. You cannot do that within the meaning of a simple law like the Land Law (Amendment) Bill. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: However much the Departmental Committee on Lands was trying to do with this Bill is wrong and should be opposed. I request my colleagues to oppose it. I request the colleagues in the Departmental Committee on Lands to look at the aspirations of Article 60 of the Constitution with regard to land so that, any legislation they make henceforth ought to be informed by it. view

• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am getting ready to give my voice on Clauses 73 and 74. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is an interesting provision that the Chairlady is bringing in and I support. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: My interest in this is because of the wording and what she proposes to do. I appreciate that health is a devolved function and that someone needs to carry responsibility but Sub-clause (2) is worded in a way that responsibility ought to lie somewhere. Whereas there are devolved issues that are supposed to be inherent in the county government, there are functions of the CS that are express. To word it this way will bring conflict with people passing the buck back and forth. We should make clear and distinct roles for the CS. Whereas collaboration is necessarily important, let ... view

• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Thank you for using your discretion. I appreciate. view
