• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Bill as put across by the Deputy Chief Whip on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party. The Bill before the House seeks to establish and regulate the body which will consist of building surveyors. It seeks to separate other surveyors from building surveyors, so that there is a distinction when it comes to legislation that regulates them. There is establishment of the building surveyors board which is the body that will regulate operations and conduct of building surveyors. It is a body that will have its own ... view

• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. As we said last time, it is very important that we constitute these committees without much ado because the funding from the National Treasury is long overdue and it is high time Members of Parliament went to do their mandate. It is high time the Board is allocated money by the National Treasury because the last time we made enquiries we were told the money had not left the National Treasury and it had not gone to the Board. Therefore, as we pass this Motion today, it is my humble ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Bill which essentially is a Bill to amend the Public Trustee Act Cap. 168 of the Laws of Kenya. The Act deals with trusts. Where there is no personal representative to act for a person, we have to find an officer of the Government to represent that person and that person of the Government is in the name of a corporate body known as the Public Trustee. I remember during my days in the university law school we used to hate trusts. We learnt about the Public Trustee. I ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: officer. The Act being amended is an old colonial law. It is among those Acts that were passed during the colonial times. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as it is today, I do not think that the founders of our nation had a lot of interest in what was going on then because they could hardly understand it. I hope we can deal with such an Act in a better manner today than it was at that particular time. The Office of the Public Trustee was created under the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs. That is why even today the old Act makes reference to a Minister. After promulgating the Constitution 2010, those titles ceased to be. The Office of the Public ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: When the Members are requested to assist anyone with a problem with the Public Trustee, that office is at Sheria House. That is where you go. You will be guided accordingly, and possibly your constituents will be satisfied. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, tied to this Act which is Chapter 168 of the Constitution is Chapter 160 of the Law of Succession Act. This is the law that governs the problems we are faced with in our constituencies, including my own constituency, Tharaka, where hundreds of people, especially widows are waiting for me to assist them to get letters of administration. Their husbands died and they had pieces of land which they cannot deal with until they get letters of administration. My plea to this honourable House is that once the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is established, we must ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to second. I support the amendment to this old law because it will bring the law in line with the Constitution. Eventually, the Act will be in consonance with modern day lives. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
