The NDMA should be audited thoroughly so that we can know how much donations were received, from where, from who and where they were given. There must be proper documentation, so that people do not take advantage of the dying people. People are ruthless especially the corrupt systems and ourselves as politicians, chiefs and people in the Government. All of us, as a nation, have to fight against corruption. This is what is likely to make this law that we are passing very difficult to implement.

On behalf of the people of Makueni, we look forward to the changes, so that when food donations are made in the difficult times of drought, which we are not sure when it is going to face us, Kenyans can be served and make sure that no single Kenyan dies of hunger.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this very important Report by the Departmental Committee on Lands. I had an opportunity to share with some of the members of this association when they came to Parliament. I learnt that these particular people were displaced from the Rift Valley following the tribal clashes of 1992 that related to the general election of that year. They lived at Kirigiti Stadium until 1995. After having stayed there with their families for three years, former President Moi issued an Executive order through the District Commissioner (DC), which was communicated to ...

possession of land. These people have lived there for over 12 years. Two, the Government has already developed that particular area. You have heard that the local Member of Parliament has constructed schools using money from the NG-CDF. Three, there are people who are already buried within their compounds, where they have settled for a long time. Four, it is no longer a forest. Therefore, the only honourable thing to do is to have it degazetted so that these people can be formally allocated their respective pieces of land. They have already been given title deeds, but they can only ...

The Committee did a very good thing to consider this Petition, go into its details and think about the plight of Kenyans. We hope that this will never happen again in this country. For quite a number of years, there have been clashes after elections and people are displaced and they do not go back to their land. Following the 2008 post-election violence, people have never gone back to land for which they have title deeds. I believe Kenyans are free to settle in any part of the country. An act of goodwill has happened. This House has no business ...

I thank the Committee for the good proposals it has made. I believe their recommendations will be implemented with immediate effect, bearing in mind that we expect new persons to occupy offices of the National Land Commission (NLC), which has this mandate. The new Commission is the one which will de-gazette that particular forest. It is the one with the force of law right now. Having approached Parliament without taking the option of going to court, I believe Parliament will be perfectly in order to adopt these recommendations and make sure that affected Kenyans are settled and their rights are ...
