• 24 Jul 2024 in National Assembly: projects and affordable housing. We tend to introduce new projects while we still have so many pending projects. In my constituency alone, there are the Jeevanjee Housing Project, Pangani Housing Project, and the Starehe Point Housing Project that was launched by the President but has not taken off. This is the case and yet we are still planning and allocating money for development of more affordable housing! Even the ones that had been started by the previous regime are not yet done. These are some of the issues that we need to look into and address. We need to respect ... view

• 4 Jun 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands and the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs regarding the ongoing demolitions targeting buildings that are constructed on riparian land in Starehe Constituency within areas of Landimawe Ward, Nairobi South Ward, Gikomba and other areas in Nairobi City County, including City Carton in Embakasi West and Kariobangi South, Ruaraka, Mathare and other constituencies. view
• 4 Jun 2024 in National Assembly: In May 2024, the Government of Kenya directed that all structures built on riparian land should be demolished, following the heavy rainfall that adversely affected tracts of land across the country. However, the manner in which those demolitions are carried out is deeply concerning and raises serious questions about the respect for human rights. Firstly, the Government provided a stringent timeline for vacating the affected areas without proper issuance of notice to the residents or offering alternative places to reside in. view
• 4 Jun 2024 in National Assembly: Secondly, the ongoing demolitions reveal a distressing picture of inhumane treatment. Houses are being demolished without regard for the well-being of the residents. Some of them have lived on the same land for over 50 years and possess legitimate title deeds issued by the Government. Regrettably, mothers and children are being left to sleep in the cold without any alternative accommodation or support from the Government. The demolitions are marred by use of excessive force with unfortunate incidents of people being tragically shot by security agencies during the process. view
• 4 Jun 2024 in National Assembly: Lastly, it is particularly alarming that those demolitions take place without a clear and transparent compensation plan in place. The Government’s purported compensation plan appears to be limited to a few individuals, leaving many rightful land owners in state of uncertainty and despair. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands on the following: 1. What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure a fair and transparent compensation process for land owners affected by those demolitions? 2. Outline the specific plans for providing resettlement options for ... view
• 4 Jun 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I seek a response within the shortest time possible because the demolitions are on-going and our people are languishing in confusion by the actions of the Government. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
