• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Land is an emotive issue. There are many people with land issues. The Government must take this issue seriously with the attention it deserves. The newly appointed Cabinet Secretary (CS) in the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning and the Chairperson on the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, must tell this nation the truth. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: We are dispossessing someone’s property, therefore, they should be paid promptly. That is what the Constitution says. It is not an Act of Parliament, nor a policy nor a statement that you make in any baby shower or anywhere else. This is a constitutional issue that must be done as it should be. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: The LAPSSET Corridor Program is a good project. However, if we allow Kenyans to be dispossessed of their property without compensation as per the law, then it does not make sense. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: I remember, a Committee of this House investigated the Ruaraka Land issue. It is high time that we must be told the truth. The Government acquired a public land in the guise of being a private land. Therefore, we must be serious, re-awaken and go back to investigate on land matters, including, the Ruaraka land scandal. These are emotive issues. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Finally, we do not want to create a situation where we are creating infrastructural evictees, where people are being evicted because an infrastructure is being developed. We already have forest evictees and Internally Displaced People (IDPs) – People who have been displaced because of civil strife. We must avoid infrastructural evictees. It is good that my lecturer and neighbor, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC--- view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will substantiate. The East African Court of Justice (EACJ) ruled the other day that there are the people who have been evicted from the forest. It has been defined by our East African Legislative Court. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: The Senate Majority Whip should look for me in camera, so that I can give him the full citation and share with him what it means. I can also take him to where people have been evicted from some of the forest for him to see who they are if he wants a live example. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: The infrastructural evictees that I was talking about are seen in cities and towns; where people get evited when a project is upcoming. We do not want to have such in the LAPSSET Corridor Program. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: In conclusion, the LAPSSET Corridor Program is a good vision. However, it should not be used at the guise of fighting human right. In fact, this issue is a human right matter. It should go to the Joint Committee of Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources with the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Right. view
