• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will be very brief. The land question in Coast Province is a very serious matter. Indeed, it is only in this province that we have people living as squatters in their own land. What is happening in Lamu County is just a tip of the iceberg. If you were to look at it critically - the land grabbing in Coast Province - you will not believe it. Two families own 90 per cent of the land in TaitaTaveta. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: That is inhuman to say the least. That is the Basil Criticos family and Jomo Kenyatta family. We must revisit the TJRC Report in this House. I now know why the Jubilee Government went ahead to doctor that Report before it was brought to this House. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Finally, when the TJRC Report came before this House, it went ahead and forced through this House to amend a clause to enable this House to amend that Report on the Floor of this House - the original report had mentioned names of the most powerful people in this country. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker that is why the foreign Commissioners and Madam Betty Murungi resigned from TJRC before the Report was published. That is because of the attempt by the Jubilee mandarins to doctor the report to remove the names of those who have been responsible for all the malpractices or injustices in this country. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The question in Lamu is: If we are talking about the 22 companies, what about the 213 titles that hon. Orengo revoked in 2010? This is a demonstration that hon. Orengo was out to solve the land problem in Lamu. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what is happening now is an attempt to divert attention from the real issues. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, no amount of public relations; no amount of buck passing and no amount of spin work will drive the question of land under the carpet. It is a question that the Jubilee Government must confront head on. Jubilee is the most culpable entity in land grabbing. It is true that land grabbing began in earnest in 1963. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to conclude so that my friend can continue from where I left. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The question of land injustice in Coast Province and the question of land grabbing will only be solved if we put in place a Government that is responsible; a Government that is led by a coalition such as CORD, which has got a very clear roadmap on land justice. view
