• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: on out there. For example, we have had cases where officers were suspended because of corruption and you do not see their cases for a long time. I have a case where 12 officers in my county were suspended. Some of them are very rich. Sometimes their lifestyles change overnight. I support this provision and I hope that the Government of the day takes these cases seriously. The EACC should deal with these culprits. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Just like Hon. Duale has said, we will pass this Bill. I am embarrassed people in this country are in a hurry to make money. We have heard of people being seconded to the Office of the Controller of Budget and getting into corrupt deals. I hope and pray that we should send a very strong warning. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: No! I said “corrupt people”. The people who are seconded to this office are in a hurry to make money. In the process, there is rampant corruption, particularly, in the counties. The penalties under Clause 19(b), in my view, came a bit late. I oppose this. We should take this very seriously to curb corruption in this country. People are making many funny deals out there. I hope this House sends a very strong warning to the people out there who are corrupt, particularly in the Office of the Controller of Budget. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Bill, thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am seeking a clarification. We have passed very many Bills. I am sorry to interrupt my good friend. He needs to tell us the gist of the whole thing so that we follow up. I am trying to follow up but I am not getting him. Can he tell us about it first, so that I can follow up what they have done? I am just seeking your clarification. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Departmental Committee on Lands for having had this mediation. I want to commend the Chairman, who is not listening, for the fact that the documents being held at the lands office in Nairobi will be taken to the county governments. That is a very important issue. In the past, people have had to travel all the way to Nairobi for a very simple issue like to find out about land status. This is very expensive. It is, therefore, good that the mediation ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, the NLC has been devolved to the counties. That is a good step forward. I come from Kwanza, Trans Nzoia, in the Rift Valley, where there are many land issues. The Committee has come to my place and has witnessed cases where we have a lot of noise on the issue. It is good to devolve the land issue instead of coming to Nairobi, which is very expensive, especially for the old and poor Kenyans. In the rural areas, there are old men in their sunset days who want to leave their land in clear way. Their days are ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am concerned about the issue of the expiry of lease. I want to invite the Departmental Committee on Lands to Trans Nzoia, where we have had so many such cases. You find that a family that has been sitting on a piece of land for 15 to 20 years is told to leave the land overnight. I think there is something in the law although I am not a lawyer, that says that if you have stayed on a piece of land for over seven years, that land becomes yours automatically. I do not know whether that was looked ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: If it is in my favour, I would accept it. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I now get it right. I am going to tell my electorate because they voted me in and that is why I am here. I am going to tell them to stay put until there is a problem. If you get involved in land issues, you will find yourself lost because one party will say that the Member is favouring the other because of clanism. When you go the other side, you will have the same problem. So, I normally tell my people not to involve me, but if it is 12 years, it is good. I think they have ... view
