Therefore, the problem originates from the land registration officers. Our Head of State ordered for a lifestyle audit on all procurement officers in his Government. He should also now order for total lifestyle audit of all registry officers and district land surveyors because they are the ones who dish out our forest land like hot cakes. You will be shocked to find an individual from northern Kenya or southern Kenya having a piece of land in the middle of Rift Valley without documentation showing how they acquired that land. They allocate themselves and their relatives land in the forests. We ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this Report. I first want to declare my interest. The Chairman of KFS is my brother-in-law. That is the extent of my interest. I am not involved in any kind of logging or other forest activities or carpentry. The reason for opposing this Report is in compliance with the Communication from the Chair last Thursday, 26th July 2018, where it was communicated to this honourable House that if a report is not based on any evidence, then it stands on quicksand. The Report has lashed out at the Chairman of ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Report on Page 5 says that: “The Chairperson of the KFS Board knowingly, while in office, in contravention of the law and Mwongozo Code of Governance for State Corporations, exhibited conflict of interest in doing business with KFS. The chairperson of the board operated a private hotel at Karura Forest. There was an illegality in the collection of revenue at Karura Forest by the Friends of Karura instead of KFS.” However, in the rest of this Report, unless I did not see it, there is no mention of the chairperson coming before the ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. For sure the country has learnt from the good people of Ijara out of their tolerance and treating a criminal as a criminal instead of evoking religious or tribal sentiments. They identified a criminal as one. In the same breath, I ask Hon. Sophia to lead the people of Ijara in forgiving the teacher as the writings of the holy books, especially the Quran and the Bible, demand. The Bible says that you should forgive 70 times seven times. That means that you should forgive others for eternity. I ask the people of Ijara, ...

Since this is Zero Hour, I want to inform the nation that there is corrective surgery being performed at the Kijabe Mission Hospital on children with disabilities, so that we do not end up having many cases of disabilities in our country.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to join my colleagues in condemning the action by the teacher who shamelessly stepped on the Holy Quran. His action was uncalled for, uncouth, ungodly and unacceptable. The action of the teacher was meant to cause so much pain to the Muslim Community. He might not be a believer, but he must respect those who confess the Islamic faith. He should learn to co-exist with others even if he does not share their beliefs. His action was regrettable and was meant to create hatred and division. I am glad the people ...
