Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to commend the Senator for Nairobi City County, Sen. Sakaja, for the statement. I commend his Committee for the good work. The Government needs to take that Statement seriously. Death certificates need to be certified by the coroners and morticians. It is important for the death certificates to be issued even for the purpose of ensuring that legal processes take place. On the issue of probate process is laborious. There is need to authenticate that the last will and the testaments of the deceased as well as identifying the assets left behind by the ...

There is also need for psychological treatment for the families, because death comes with a lot of pain and sorrow. These are families that have scars and have no one to talk to. Therefore, there is need for the Government to ensure that they reach out to the families of the deceased, talk to them and reassure them so that they get acceptance and feel that---

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to commend Sen. Halake’s team for doing a commendable job in ICT. We are now in a virtual world. The world has become global even when we talk about relationships. The world is a global village and ICT comes in handy to ensure that people communicate in various ways. I will not forget to talk about the role of ICT in health and education. When we talk about teleconferencing - which I know, Sen. Pareno is just about to bring on the Floor of this House - it ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice. I commend the Senator for Nyandarua County, Sen. Mwangi, for coming up with the Statement. He and his Committee are doing a commendable job. Land is a factor of production. On earth, there is no major development that will be done without land. So, it is a big issue for Kenyans. There is need to digitize land records, so that when it comes to land ownership, it is clear. This is because quite a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ...

number of Kenyans have ended up losing their land. Sometimes the land is grabbed. For example, when a man dies in the family, you will find that the widows are deprived of family land. They lose their land and become helpless and homeless. This is something that the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources needs to intervene on. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am also thankful to the Committee that they have been doing public hearings. It is good to do public hearing on a Bill. I am sure that when the Committee does many more public hearings, people will ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Committee interrogated the matter and people got back their land. The same Committee interrogated an issue where the Government bought land from itself and paid itself. This issue is very touchy and should be brought to the Senate, so that the Senate gets to know what exactly is happening. I commend Sen. Mwangi’s team for doing a commendable job. They should continue doing the same because land is gold to Kenyans.

I am happy that the Committee reached out to them because most people in Kibera live ...
