24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate Mr. Okemo and the people of Busia County for fighting for the land in Nasewa. This Petition has come at a very important time in our history as a nation, when we are seeing the Government fighting to recover public land from individuals. For the first time we are seeing Kenyans fighting for public interest to override selfish interest. It is, therefore, necessary that this Petition be taken up with the seriousness that it deserves, so that this land that was procured compulsorily by the Government with taxpayers’ money reverts to ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Apart from the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives, this matter lies squarely in the province of the Ministry of Lands. Hon.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, I did raise concerns about a certain Motion for adoption of a report by the Lands and Natural Resources Committee of hon. Mutava Musyimi about the squatters of Kiboroa Forest in Kitale that has been pending before this House since August last year, when the Committee visited Trans Nzoia. The other squatters in Chebyuk and other parts of the country have been settled. Those squatters are beginning to feel that, perhaps, the House is not taking their plight seriously.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also wish to support this Bill. Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona had mentioned earlier that she was privileged to be taught by the good professor, the Attorney-General.

I want to put it on record that he is, indeed, a professor. We are very privileged to have been his students. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the Bill before the House, we are very happy that ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had just made my opening remarks by indicating that the constitutional basis for this Bill is Article 55 of our Constitution. It requires that the State take measures including affirmative action programmes to ensure that the youth, not only access training and education, but also have opportunities to associate to be represented and to participate, not only in the social and political, but also the economic life of this nation.
