• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report. I want to, first of all, commend the Committee for a job well done. I feel - I am in agreement with Hon. Dalmas Otieno - that they need to go further and establish the true ownership of the land in Karen. It is important that we are able to tell who exactly the owner is, so that we can have assurance that in future there will be no problem with the land. As you are aware, land title ownership is critical for an ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: One of the things that I would recommend going forward is that we should have institutional reforms at the Lands Office in terms of the process, so that we can be sure that the actual process that is employed in the Lands Office is efficient. There is also need to build capacity in terms of records keeping to ensure that we do not get ourselves into such a situation where we are not able, as a country and as a Committee, to tell who the actual owner of a certain parcel of land is in Kenya. We need to go ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I would also recommend that because of these challenges we need to relook at this issue as a Parliament and come up with very punitive penalties for some of these fraudsters. We are aware that some of the leases we have, especially in Nairobi, have expired. There is some outcry out there by people who have been dispossessed of their land; when leases elapse there are some people who go round stealing Kenyans’ land, especially on Kirinyaga Road in Grogan area. This is an area we need to look at. We have also heard cries even in Westlands where people ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I would also want to say that we also need, and I agree with the Committee, to go further and ask for a forensic audit on all the claimants of this land, whom I hear are four. We need to go deep into it and ensure we investigate who the true owner of the land is, so that we do not end up giving it to some thieves and we justify their illegal ownership. view
