• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, I just did not want to go into giving the House information which really I should not be giving at this stage. However, it is a complete separate court. But in the meantime, I would ask hon. Member for Kisumu to bear up with me. He normally brings a lot of Questions on land issues. Quite honestly, the tribunal in his district has not been dealing with them effectively other than asking for their allowances.

• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: I am taking it positively but I am saying that by the rules of this House, he is not supposed to address me directly. He should address Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. So, you need to read a little bit of Standing Orders before you ask me to read the law. view

• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think you need to give us some direction.

Normally, the principle is that he who alleges is the one who is required to prove. However, in the spirit of having full disclosure of these matters, I am quite prepared, tomorrow or any other day thereafter to give particulars of where that piece of land is situated. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Yeah, I am not the last respondent, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. You are quite right. Now, the entry point from the last speaker, hon.

Not all demolitions are unlawful, but all demolitions must be carried out in accordance with the law. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: For that reason – and this is a matter on which I have been clear throughout – I support the Report by the Committee; I support it for several reasons, especially the component dealing with demolitions. view
