When you are dispossessing someone of their land without compensation yet the law is very clear, these are human rights issues. We have dealt with such issues. For those reasons, the Ruaraka land scandal must be brought before the Senate. The former

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we shall not allow the Senator for Mombasa who was a good Member in the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights which I chaired in the last Senate to mislead the House. I voted against corruption because the Report that was tabled did not nail the real suspects, allegedly, the former Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government who was being mentioned. Sen. Faki must tell the nation whether he intends to protect the lone land grabbers in this Republic.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the good Senator of Migori County, Sen. Oketch Gicheru, should acquaint himself with what the Report he was talking about.

In conclusion, when you look at a book authored by my good lecturer and my neighbor Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC, called “Conveyancing” –, he says “land is an emotive issue” then he puts a full stop on the preface of the book. However, he sells that book very expensively. Land is an emotive issue. Yesterday the Senate Minority Leader brought a Statement to this House on the issue of evictions in his county. Therefore, Kenyans who lost their land in the Lamu Port- South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (Lapsset) Corridor must be compensated. With those remarks, I congratulate and wish Sen. Shakilla ...

I hope the Lands, Environment and Natural Resources Committee shall look into the issue. We also have land issues in Nandi County. Before elections, I went with the then Chair of the Committee, Sen. Mpaayei, to the county. Kenyans are suffering because their land has been illegally and irregularly dispossessed. I hope the Senate rises to the occasion and address this issue once and for all. Thank you.
