• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I know I suggested it but I do not think that you will find any legal statute where the words “and/or” appears. So, I think your formulation is either “in” or--- view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Article 66(2) is irrelevant. The relevant one is Article 66(1). view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at the Constitution, you will see that it uses the word “Article” while in the schedules it uses the word “Sections”. I think we better say “Constitution” for fullness of it. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have a problem with most of the proposals which are being brought by hon. Otichilo because they are taken care of in a very substantial legislation which is the Environmental Legislation like when you talk about the Environmental Impact Assessment. There is a danger that if we import the language of that statute and provisions which belong to another statute to the Land Bill, there will be possible conflict. I will ask hon. Otichilo that the time when we will need him thoroughly is when we will harmonize the Environmental Law with the Land ... view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to point to the hon. Member that if he looks at the Schedule, he will see that the statutes we want to legislate on are community land, which we must do in five years and Regulation of Land Use, which must also be done in five years. That is what I told hon. Otichilo is coming; Legislation of Land -18 months; agreements relating to natural resources - five years and legislation regarding environment which is required within five years. Already, the law on Environment is there but to harmonize it with the Constitution, ... view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not have a problem with this. I would agree with the inclusion of the word “submit”. But I think the general import of the provisions in that part is all about environment. I think since it refers to legislation to do with environment, issues like climate change should go to the environmental law. It is a very complicated concept and if you want every management body to do--- What I am saying is that, right now, I can tell you, as a matter of fact, - and probably hon. Millie will support me ... view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: that an investor provides an environmental impact assessment plan is a nightmare. Now, to bring a concept of climate change which many of us do not really understand--- Dr. Otichilo may well understand and he says: “Submit an environmental impact assessment plan, including climate change vulnerability.” I mean, for somebody who wants to do an investment or is managing public land, and you tell them that this is what they must do, even the capacity to find experts on the issue of climate change is not there. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, even developing legislation on environment which takes into account climate change is not in place yet. So, we will be requiring people to do what we have not done. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: There are still other clauses but that Heading of Part VI is misleading because if you talk about co-tenancy and partition--- view
