• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: This is a right that cannot be limited in any way that the Committee has proposed to do in the Act. Article 42 of the Constitution provides that a person shall not be denied emergency medical treatment. There is nothing more there. It is straightforward. We cannot go by what my able Chairman of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) is proposing that the duty is placed upon the State. The State does not provide medical The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: services in State offices. They are provided for in hospitals where these emergencies occur. We cannot take this away but the State must pull up its socks and provide these services as per the Constitution. If anybody wants to do something else, then they must propose to amend the Constitution. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to oppose the proposed amendments to the land laws in this country. Land is one of the most emotive subjects that you can ever deal with in this country. At the outset, I would like to posit that, looking at the way the proposed amendments have been set out in this Bill, the Committee and probably the State have taken a cavalier attitude towards this very important and essential matter in this country. I would also like to say that as a country, we must sit back, contemplate and think about where we ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Committee in coming up with its amendments and looking at the number of titles that are owned by Kenyans who can say that they own part of this country and feel they belong to this country. I do not feel I would be remiss if I said that we have less than 500,000 titled documents of ownership in this country. It is amazing because we have a monumental problem which we keep hiding from. Until we sit down, as a country, and address the question of land ownership in this country, we will never go anywhere. These laws propose to ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have a lot of respect for my friend, Hon. Oner, the Member for Rangwe. He has been a debater in this House. This is a House of Debate. What I am saying is my opinion on what the amendment to the land laws before this House proposes to do. They are proposing to deal with the powers that are being set out to be enjoyed by the NLC. The NLC is a constitutional commission. I would like to inform my brother, Hon. Oner that land is one of the core reasons why Kenyans said they ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Going back to the train of argument that I was proposing, when we, as Kenyans, come back and say that we want to change the way we manage our resources, when the “ Okoa Kenya” and “ punda amechoka” initiatives come before this House and other rights forums, I will be proposing that we, as Kenyans, must do away with title deeds. A title deed is one of the documents that has messed up this country. A few clever Kenyans have taken advantage of this country and owned most part of this resource and yet more than 30 million Kenyans ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I am afraid because he is the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, he is reading the Constitution in a selective way. He is telling us the role of the NLC is only to advise the Government on how to deal with and register land. The substantive provision of Article 67 which prescribes the NLC, its main function is to manage public land on behalf of the national and county governments. That is the main role in (a) as provided under this. He has read Article 40 which is on the protection of property that is owned in this country. This is a constitutional provision. So, we need to ... view
