• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No. 111(2), this House resolves to waive the referral period of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation (Amendment) Bill (Bill No 56 of 2012) to the relevant Departmental Committee. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, without necessarily dwelling at length on the reasons as to why it is necessary to waive the referral period of this Bill, we should take into consideration the fact that the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) was an important mechanism in resolving the problems of this country as experienced over the years, ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know this is a Procedural Motion but I just wanted to make a little response. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: If you may allow me, I think that what has come out from the Floor, especially those who are expressing the opposite view are quite justified. Probably the reasons why this extension is required may not come through this Procedural Motion, but at the time when we will come to the Bill. Probably, the hon. Members may be of the view that it is important to extend the time. view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply, but in giving this reply, I would like to seek the indulgence of the House and the hon. Member that my written answer is not accurate. That will, however, not stop me from giving the accurate answer. Indeed as the hon.

Member gave was not the same one given by the Ndung’u Commission. However, this title to the company was revoked ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you go the Lands Office, there is no record that the land belongs to the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons. In any case, if it was given to the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons, as presently constituted and through the Member’s good effort and the current Constitution, the Government will have to pre-organize. We do not know whether that Ministry will ever exist. So, it was advisable to issue the title to the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury. The Member should not be worried because we have ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Member is being economical with the truth. This particular agency was given a reservation to this land in 1990 and they never stepped on that piece of land. They actually slept on their rights. When the land was allocated and a title issued to this particular company, again, they never did anything about it. They were just quiet until when they realized that this title had been revoked. The comfort is that this land belongs to the Government of Kenya. It does not belong to any particular Ministry. I have made it possible for any ... view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, leave alone a title deed, even a temporary occupational licence, he does not have it. The title deed is with the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury. That is the legal owner. view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that piece of land has never belonged to this agency. All they had was a plan which was approved and would have formed a basis view
• 13 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is catered for. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, subject to your direction, I am willing to give a minute to each of the hon. Members who are on your list of requests – that is hon. Mwatela, hon. Wambugu, hon. Machage and hon. Duale. view
