• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is now a new adjudication area which has been created. The notice says that: “All community land within Isiolo County, except some parts which are said to be public land.” However, it starts with all community land. Community land is supposed to be registered in a very systematic manner according to the Community Land Act. The same CS who is supposed to operationalise the Community Land Act is creating adjudication areas out of community land. Had she said, “All land within Isiolo County,” then it would have been better. It is very clear that she ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: We have already done sensitization. I have attended two workshops which were driven by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). The State Department for Lands is not doing anything along that line, and we are now seeing why it is not doing anything. It is because of the kind of mischief they have. I will not be surprised if tomorrow there appears a similar notice saying, “All community land within Marsabit County.” view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is high time that the public officers in the State Department for Lands understood that we enacted laws here based on our Constitution. We expect them to do their part to operationalise this Act, but not subvert the process by now trying to introduce adjudication areas where they are not supposed to be. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: The other part is where it even talks of land which will be taken up by the LAPSSET Project. This is a project which I personally do not think will take place, because we have been saying that we will do the project for a long time. The only thing on the ground is three berths in Lamu Port. Our neighbours like Ethiopia, who we are trying to cooperate with, have already changed their mind. Ethiopia has connected its railway line through Djibouti, because you cannot wait for Kenyans to make their decisions. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, how somebody says, “Except the land to be taken by LAPSSET,” which we do not even know, yet the community has not been compensated nor consulted, is not in good faith. The Constitution says that public participation is paramount and mandatory in anything concerning the public. There is nothing which concerns the public more than land. You do not consult them and then come up with these kinds of notices. As we know right now, that land is supposed to be held by the county government on behalf of the community, and they cannot do anything ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Statement and I hope that the CS will present the positon of the national Government. Hopefully, they should have this Gazette Notice revoked. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As we say, this is a House of records, rules and procedures. I would, therefore, like you to give some guidance. This is because what is coming up is that, by nature, human beings are either male or female. I heard Sen. Dullo saying that you cannot refer to female Senators as “female Senators.” Can we have very clear guidance so that we know how to identify different genders in this House? view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: I do not have a copy of the Statement. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.51(1)(b) to make a Statement on the activities on the Standing Committee on Roads and Transport for the period commencing 1st July to 30th September, 2019. During the period under review, the Committee had a total of 22 sittings. Regarding Petitions, pursuant to Article 118 of the Constitution, three Petitions were referred to the Committee during the period under review. These are- (1) Petition on the delayed compensation by the National Land Commission (NLC) to the land owners affected by the Eldoret Town Bypass in Uasin Gishu County; (2) Petition ... view
