• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to seek a Statement on the impending eviction of a section of residents of Mavoko from their land by the East African Portland Cement Company in Machakos County. Pursuant to Standing Order 48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources regarding the impending eviction of a section of residents of Mavoko, Machakos County, from their land by the East Africa Portland Cement Company (EAPCC). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain why the EAPCC and the Government agencies have ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I know is that biologically, human beings are classified into three forms; Africans, Caucasians and Asians. Out of the three, how do the Luo and the Luhyas look like? When you mention Sen. Wetangula; is he synonymous to Luhyaism? The Speaker is also a Luhya.

• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also to air my view. I was laughing here with Sen. Wetangula who is my senior. He said that in Taita-Taveta County where Sen. Mwaruma comes from – I can see Sen. Mwaruma listening – vast land is owned by two Kenyans. That is nothing but historical injustice because one of the individuals is a foreigner and the other is a local. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Those who happen to have been students of law at the University of Nairobi (UoN) in earlier years, including my senior Sen. Orengo here, must have read the land law at its inception. They must have been taught by the late Prof. H.W.O.O who did two The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: good manuals. One was historical and the second one was a substantive land law. My concern is the one on the history of land law in Kenya. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: One of the key cases which every student would recall is that of Ole Jogo where Maasais were evicted from their ancestral land by the white imperialists. When they sued, ultimately they lost on the basis that Africans did not have a cogent conventional administration. That meant the capacity to enter into contractual agreements with the Whiteman. You will realise that this is a replica of what happened in other countries, including countries in the Amazon Basin as it has been mentioned by my senior Sen. Orengo. Those who use DSTV to watch Nat Geo Wild see how the environment ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you overfly Mau and other areas of the so called big water towers in Kenya, you will definitely be moved to tears. I have overflown there thrice with the Senator for Narok County, Sen. Olekina. I found myself sobbing after seeing the wanton destruction of the forest for no reason. You will see people burning charcoal and tributaries have dried. That definitely affects the Nile waters. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Whereas we have genuine Kenyans who have been affected and do not have land--- I am trying to avoid using the word squatters because it is not a good expression at this time of the new constitutional dispensation. Others are speculators especially in the urban areas. They speculate on private land and that creates some conflict. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, someone has said that this problem is universal. Without going very far, we have a problem in Mavoko which is just next to where I come from. The land initially belonged to the Kamba community. However, historically, after the Government of Her Majesty the Queen paved way to the Independence Flag of Kenya, the powers of land ownership was vested in the Prime Minister, then to the President and eventually the Commissioner for Lands then. Sen. Orengo was once the Minister for Lands. The leases were given to the East African Portland Cement Company (EAPCC) for 99 ... view
