I was here partly yesterday and I saw the way Hon. Members were discussing this Question. I noticed that there is much research because a lot of land issues, apart from being emotive, are composite in nature. One issue leads to another. I heard Members say that even if you occupy land and live there for a while but you do not have a title deed, you can just be moved from that land. The land question concerns so many issues, such as who occupied it first. There are issues that concern the length of time people have been living ...

In conclusion, this is a wake-up call by you to the House and the Committees, and especially the Chairmen and the clerks; that Parliament is on focus currently and every Kenyan is watching what we are doing. Therefore, we need to do everything in a way that is extremely concreate so that it cannot be doubted at any given time. So, I congratulate that ruling.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to add my voice to the fact that the NG-CDF has done very well. I commend the Committee for the good work. The main challenge we are facing is that the NG-CDF has become a mainstream thing in the constituencies. The expectations of Kenyans are very regular. So, the remaining disbursements really need to be brought to the constituencies. When it is time for bursaries, they expect the money. They live with it as part and parcel of their money and the Kenyan Budget wholesomely. That is what I wanted to put across.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this chance to make a contribution. I think the situation we are operating in is simply as a result of the Senate being a baby that has been unable to move as earlier speakers have referred to it. Article 93 establishes Parliament of Kenya. Where the challenge is coming is that the Senate has misunderstood their role and wordings in the Constitution. In Kenya we have a Parliament which is bicameral, so there are two Houses. We have the National Assembly and the Senate. The word “Parliament” in the Kenyan situation can be ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Looking at the origin of the history of the two Houses because that is the only area I will try to punch since many parliamentarians have punched many other areas, which relate to us... In the USA for instance, they only adopted the Upper House and Lower House; the Senate was having challenges. One is the historical perspective; they were getting independence from Britain and they really wished to have structures similar to those of Britain. Two, at the Philadelphian Conference where they were taking too long to make a decision on whether to ...

I, therefore, greatly support this Motion and ask the leader to move very quickly and have the HBC bring a report so that we streamline the Senate. This time round, we do not need to remove it because we have the power, reason and we might actually streamline the system so that they stick to their role and do not start overstepping. With those very few remarks, I wish to support.
