• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: As you will recall, in this country people have suffered waiting for compensation until they died. Even their grandchildren continue waiting for compensation. Therefore, this Bill seeks to provide a solution to this matter. It also sets out guidelines for valuation of land so that no one wakes up and decides to determine the price of land. Also, there will be no discrepancies of prices of land in similar areas. It will not depend on who owned the land before. This will prevent some people from selling land at higher prices than others in the same region. Therefore, it will ... view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: It also seeks to set up the Land Acquisition Tribunal. People who are not satisfied with decisions and scenarios followed prior to their land being taken over for public use will take their grievances to the tribunal.

• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: resolved by the tribunal. Therefore, I support this Bill. It is timely. I urge my colleagues to support it for the benefit of this country. It will also speed up acquisition of such land for public use. There are very good projects seeking to benefit Kenyans, but they have stalled because of land matters. Many disputes have arisen and lack of a dispute resolution mechanism makes such projects to take ages. In such a scenario, the general public loses money. By the time the project takes off, many factors have changed like environmental and financial aspects. Therefore, Kenyans do not ... view

• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security: (i) investigates and establishes the cause of the two murders with a view to prosecute the culprits. (ii) investigates and recommends for necessary action against negligence of duty by the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) on the matter; and, (iii) makes any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the case. view

• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was prepared to contribute to the next matter, but nevertheless, I will go ahead. I support the amendment on the Motion because it will help Kenyans. Looking at the subsequent amendments on affordable housing, this will make it easy for Kenyans who do not own homes to afford them because housing is very expensive in this country. So, this is the best way to go. view
• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support this amendment. Thank you. view
