• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: In the community where I come from, when you are married, you belong to that family. However, with the changes in the law, you can be married to another family, but when the succession of family land happens, you include the daughters. I think that was a critical decision that the Kericho High Court made. However, in the interest of the principle of issues of succession, including tradition, religious and personal law, when you are married, you are supposed to belong to the husband. This should also include the chattels, the property, and the land. Why would you want to ... view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: Yes, she can. view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the information from my sister was insufficient. However, I agree with different tribes and cultures. It is only in Nandi and Kisii that you have a woman-to-woman marriage. It is not Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ). It was a decision of the High Court in Kisese versus Kisese and Kivuitu versus Kivuitu cases. view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: Under the law in Kisii and Nandi culture, when a woman grows old and cannot bear children, she is allowed to get a fertile young girl and “hire” a man to ensure that there is procreation for the succession. I know Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale will not agree with me because I am told that if he becomes the Governor of Kakamega, he will add four new wives. view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: Issuing title deeds to public institutions is critical. I have told you and the House should know that more than half of public primary schools do not have title deeds. So, I agree. If the Parliament of Kenya applies for a title deed, let it be issued under hand and seal. The registrar of the National Lands Commission (NLC) should register public land. Community land also be should be issued with title deeds. The NLC under the principal Act Section 12 that we are amending has been given power to manage land on behalf of national Government and county governments. view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: The NLC should ensure that apart from being given more powers, every Kenyan has a title deed because we still have land historical injustices. Where I come from--- view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: The Senator of Nakuru should take “mlima” politics to the Members’ Lounge. That is where those issues are handled. I want to challenge the NLC. For example, in the Chepkumia Exchange Programme in Nandi County, my people have never gotten a title deed because of issues of degazettment. We also have the issue of the Koibem Exchange Programme in Chepkumia Ward and Kiptuiya Ward, Cherondo area in Tinderet Sub-County, Nandi County, Kilifi, among many parts in this country where people have not been given title deeds. My appeal to the NLC is that, even as we give you powers to ... view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: In Clause No.15, I have seen the issue of the Affordable Housing Programme. I am happy because it will be easy for counties to release land for affordable housing. In Kapsabet Town, we are working very closely with the national Government, the President’s Income and Loan Affordable Housing Programme and other programmes across the country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: I have seen the same in Mombasa County and even in Parklands area. This will facilitate the affordable housing programme. These are very critical amendments to the Land Act. I hope, in future, we shall consolidate the land laws. It does not make sense to have a catalogue of land laws. Is there a possibility of collapsing them with the guidance of Chapter Five of the Constitution on Land and Environment? Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Land Registration Act and the Registration of Titles Acts will become a challenge going into the future. In conclusion, the Mover of the amendment - ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. I want to comment on the statement by the Deputy Speaker, Sen. Kathuri Murungi, on the issue of the decision by the Meru High Court. As a legal practitioner, I was shocked. When you want to do Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), the exception has been provided for by Article 159(3) which states- view
