• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: The example that I will show is the second title deed that was produced by hon. Wavinya Ndeti. You can see clearly in that title and the Deed Plan that, indeed, there was an attempt to excise part of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and that is why-- - view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: I think that information is available from the titles that I have produced. The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), in appropriate circumstances, has leased part of their airport land to essential services like Nairobi Airport Services (NAS). It has been allocated land. The Kenya Police has land within the KAA land. Those leases were all registered under the mother title. They are all there. In fact, they are so many. They include the World Duty Free. All those leases are contained in this title. As relates to Bandani Estate in Kisumu, let me say this: I want to share this with ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Lawyers, normally, do not hear properly unless they have a pen and a piece of paper and record what is being said. I can see Mr. Olago Aluoch was--- view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: They think alike but their memories are not alike. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to continue with my contribution from yesterday. I want to put to rest a matter that I promised to put before the House. We should not play politics with this very serious issue. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: I indicated yesterday that the decision that was made in respect to the demolitions was a decision of a Cabinet Committee; the Security and Foreign Affairs Committee, which is chaired by His Excellency the President. Its members are His Excellency the Vice President and Minister for Home Affairs, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, the two Deputy Prime Ministers, who are Ministers for Local Government and the Minister for Finance respectively, the hon. Attorney-General, hon. Minister of State for Defence, hon. Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, hon. Minister for Foreign Affairs and hon. Minister of State for ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a lot of people are trying to make political capital by saying an individual Member within the Government was responsible, or other powerful persons were responsible, who may own land, or may have some interest in some of these areas. I think anybody who is saying that is first undermining the authority of the Republic of Kenya, as properly constituted under the Constitution. If they do not know it, they are also undermining the authority of His Excellency the President. All the decisions in accordance with the current Constitution must be in writing. Once it ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just summarize by saying that I have made points about how demolitions should be done. I support this report because demolitions were not carried out in the manner they should be processed and undertaken. A decision of any organ of Government or any office in Government must be in accordance with the Constitution. But as regards the institution in the Ministry of Lands, I want to say that the Chair of the Committee is one of the persons who on many occasions have risen in many contributions to comment on matters to do ... view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: The second reason why I am saying that it is important to be careful about demolitions is in terms of Article 40 of the Constitution. It says very clearly that when it comes to compensation in relation to any land, that a title deed in itself is not the only standard to be used. Even institutions, where people do not have title, an interest in land is not necessarily exemplified or concretized in a title. In fact, most of the land in Kenya, as I speak today, has no titles. One should not be heard to be saying that if ... view
