• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support this clause. Primarily, the purpose of the board is to give policy direction to the institution. In the other Bill, the purpose of the board was to establish a standing committee. It has provided clarity of what the board should do which is to give policy direction to the institution. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to oppose this amendment. The purpose of an honorary member is to represent the community. For that reason, whatever views he or she gives are of the community. It is not an individual’s views. If we delete sub-clauses (d), (e) and (f) we are, to an extent, going against the grain of why the honorary member is there. I wish the Chairlady could give clarity why the Committee has decided to expunge the three sub-clauses. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I was of the same view as Hon. Abdikadir. The amendments as provided in this Bill completely change the Land Bill, 2012. Almost each Article has been amended. Before tabling this Bill in the House, it would have been better for the Departmental Committee on Lands to give us a report. If we go through this Bill as it is, we will be legislating in vain. This Bill gives effect to Article 68(c)(1) of the Constitution that says:- “to prescribe minimum and maximum land holding acreages in respect of private land.” ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: If you go through this Bill, clause by clause, you will realise that it fundamentally transgresses beyond the two Articles which have been described at the beginning of this Bill such as the appointment of the land registrars and many other things. Finally, this Bill challenges two fundamental functions within the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development or Land as it were and the NLC whose functions are clearly stipulated under Article 67. It also goes on to address matters such as community land laws that took us quite a bit of time to discuss. The community land laws ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I do not want to cry, but I want to support that Petition. Once that river diverts its course, it means all the towns that are lying along that river will die. It is equivalent to telling us that River Nile’s course is diverted because Egypt and Cairo will be no more. That is because it is fully dependent on River Nile. I want to add my voice to this Petition. Something needs to be done. Thank you. view

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On 30th October, 2015, I presented a Petition to the House concerning the appointment of a chief in D’akabarricha Location to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. So far, over three months have elapsed and I am yet to get any feedback. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to contribute to this Bill by saying that it is one of the progressive elements of the new Constitution. I believe this Bill gives effect to Article 63 of our Constitution. Through this Bill, we will put to rest the idea of the tragedy of the commons which has been associated with community land out there. Sixty per cent of the Kenyan land mass is community land. It is today the land that is considered empty and that successive Governments of this country will look at for development in terms of wind ... view
