• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am so sorry. I know that you have committed this matter to the relevant Committee to report within a certain period. However, I am just seeking your guidance. Investigations of this nature are very important at the beginning. If you miss anything at the beginning, you have completely lost the investigation. In fact, if you see an investigation that is taking forever, you can be sure that it is a lost cause. Madam Temporary Speaker, I wanted to plead with you whether it is possible that the relevant Committee reports progress to us within a month ... view

• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was looking at the Forest Act and it sets out the conditions under which the Cabinet Secretary (CS) can gazette a particular area as a forest. It is not a unilateral decision like the Senator for Bungoma has said. The unfortunate thing is that a lot of times when areas are gazetted as forests, sometimes it is to create a basis for giving other people land. So, immediately it is gazetted, within three or four months, portions of that area are given to individuals. I suppose that this is what is happening in this particular incident ... view

• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: divided that land as they wished. The “black white man” is trying is to do what the “white black man” did by giving out these pieces of land. I am hoping that, Sen. Wetangula, this is not a matter that should go just by a way of Petition. Land conflicts can lead to various serious problems. I am hoping that when this Committee reports, we will take some action. If you look under the Forest Conservation and Management Act, Sen. Mwangi--- If you look at this statute, the Senate has teeth. It is not the Cabinet Secretary (CS). The National ... view

• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I commend this Bill and thank Sen. Were for coming up with it. It will create a legal framework for the enforcement of the provisions of the County Governments Act No. 17 of 2012 in relation to the need to have a county gazette and also generally under the Constitution that the publication of Bills is a necessary instrumentality for decisions to be effected. This Bill should have come earlier. It is unfortunate that it is coming nine years after the establishment of county governments. There is nothing to ... view
