• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 107 be further amended- By deleting the words “the Commission in trust for” after the words “shall register” and substitute therefor “shall register in the name of the county and national governments as the proprietors of public land in the area.” I do not know whether that makes sense. On part (b) of the amendment, also, it will be very dangerous to have the Commission registered as the proprietor of trust land and unregistered community land. This has been dealt with very carefully in the Constitution. Whereas there is a ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am proposing a deletion of the whole of part (b) of the amendment, so that when it comes to the registration of community land, it can be dealt with under the community land register because I think this is very complicated. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I think Ms. Karua’s legal mind is very clear and that is why I cannot fault her. Her idea is even better than mine. To that extent, what I proposed we could have in addition thereof, the words “in trust for the people” as it is in the Constitution. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: (a) It will be registered in the name of the county and national government not as proprietors but in trust for the people resident in the county or for the people of Kenya. So, it can read like this. I am thinking while on my feet--- view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Let me go slowly. It shall register in the name of the county and national Government in trust for the people of the county or the people of Kenya respectively. The word “respectively” will apply to the word “county” and “national”. I do not know whether you got that. I can go back to that. I think that is a very fundamental point, and I thank Ms. Karua for bringing it out because the abuse in the current system is that the notion that the Government was holding land in trust for the people. That entire idea was dead in ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Ms. Karua, I was hoping that you will listen to what I am saying to find out whether it covers what you are--- view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Yes. In compiling the land register, the registrar shall register - and there begins the amendment - (a) in the name of the county and national government in trust for the people resident in the county or for the people of Kenya respectively.” view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, or as the case may be. Probably that is clearer. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree that Clause 107 be amended as proposed but do not have the words contained in (b) because it is rather complicated. I am now putting into focus what Ms. Karua is saying. The Constitution does not contemplate the National Land Commission playing any role other than registration and even administering community land. So, I propose that that issue comes under the Community Land Bill which is still proposed. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, there is some cocktail of legislation which has gone through this House where you find this particular provision, but I think it is totally unnecessary because of the constitutional provisions, especially in Chapter One. I agree with the Committee. view
