• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in a period of two years, namely from April, 2011 to December, 2012, 500,000 hectares were allocated to 22 private companies in one county where the residents largely believe that they have been short-changed. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: It is not imaginable that 22 people – when I say people, in law, companies are regarded as people – were allocated 500,000 hectares. I have never imagined how I can possibly own 40,000 acres. What does a person want to use 40,000 acres for? view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: It is also notable that Lamu County has been earmarked for the LAPSSET project through the construction of the Lamu Port. The timing of this allocation is telling.

• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Whereas we were campaigning to settle squatters, unfortunately, we were making land a bigger tree to the people of Coast Province. That is because we were busy campaigning and people were busy pocketing titles. They were promising people to come and sell. I saw my good friend hon. Orengo saying he had cancelled titles. I want to congratulate him for cancelling those titles. That was very good. He who seeks equity must always come with very clean hands. You can never come with very dirty hands and say I did this.

• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think the Member should wait. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for that very good protection. We want the relevant authorities to lift the veil. We want to know who the people behind Shanghai African Investments are. We have been given the names but we want to know the real owners of those pieces of land. We know the people behind those names and I think the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) must move with speed because we want to know who the owners of Shanghai African Investments are and how they found themselves there.
