• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this chance to contribute to this very important debate. As the Mover and the Seconder have stated, this matter appears to be very complicated and, in fact, it is good that they have not recommended anything else except asking Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to investigate. As I went through this Report, I found that it creates further confusion. As the Vice- Chairman who was moving said, Bradley’s correspondence seems to have disappeared around 1974. Generally, when you own land, you do not keep on corresponding with the Ministry of Lands, Housing and ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: valuation sheets for the land for Mr. John Mugo Kamau were requested but were availed.” Then you find that in the findings it is stated that: “The trail on Mugo ownership was more authentic,” yet they did not get all the reports. view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Then you find it very interesting that Mr. Mugo seems to have entered into an agreement to buy this land from Mr. Bradley in 1974. He entered into an agreement with Mr. Arnold Bradley to buy the land in 1974, but then he acquired it from Barclays Bank in 1978. That again looks very inconsistent. If he had an agreement with Mr. Arnold, why is it that now he is acquiring it from Barclays, yet Barclays were not summoned? They are a major player here. They were not summoned to give an overview to the Committee on this. view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: So, the Committee has tried their best given the limitations and the matter being in court. Perhaps, they were handicapped by the matter being in court. They were not able to delve deeper into the matter because it is definitely true that the ownership of this land will be best determined by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the courts of law. I do not think that as the National Assembly, we would have the wherewithal to conclusively deal with this matter. That purely explains why this Report to me sheds more darkness than light on the matter. Although ... view
