Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not want to contribute to this amendment. I will only support my brothers who are proposing that Clause 35(2) should be deleted. Other than the trust land which was stolen, there are substantive pieces of land which are occupied on leases today. The communities which were supposed to be holding that land are suffering. That is why I believe that Clause 35(2) should be deleted.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am in total agreement with the Chair on this particular amendment. When dealing with matters of land issues, before all the other procedures are exhausted, some people usually run to court and block the process of adjudication or demarcation. It is going to save people the agony of waiting for the courts to make those decisions.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to oppose this amendment vehemently. I am doing this because I come from an adjudication section which was The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

demarcated in 1986 and up to date no titles have been given. Suppose today, those sections are to be reverted to community land what will happen? The communities who are living there will fight forever. I think the Chair should consult further on this one. Please do not lead our country into chaos. Yes you are helping us, but suppose somebody was to go to court on those sections and stops the demarcation process? Unless you put an “x”, that no one should go to court to stop the demarcation until it is complete; also unless you put an “x” ...

Yes, I am. There is only one thing I wanted to mention to Hon. Neto. We live in counties. Counties have different people with different cultures but there is a commonality that makes us occupy or own that community land. In Nakuru, for example, we have several communities.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker I wish to thank you. I know the name of my constituency is quite difficult to pronounce. It is called Emurua Dikirr. I appreciate the fact that you really try to pronounce it just as many other people do. I wish to speak to the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill. The Leader of the Majority Party is trying to intimidate me.

In brief, I wish to make some comments on the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill which is before us. I have some issues with it. We have so many political parties because people are not comfortable with the rules that govern them. The reason we need to have the Act amended is to strengthen the parties and the rules which govern them. You realise that elections in the country are always preceded by nominations which affect the real election itself. I would wish us to support this Bill so that we have a very strong background on financial matters, how coalitions ...

I support this Bill and look forward to having parties in this country that are fully funded and that can allow their members to be represented in this House.

We have parties in this country majorly because they are vehicles which people use to ascend to these Houses. We should not have a situation where parties are meant to humiliate people or disallow them to meet their political ends. Parties that are meant to promote values and inclusivity in any democracy. We need to have these rules so that people can access offices, this House or any other office or position in Government based on the parties that they come from. The question of mergers is not a serious priority, although people would like to have one party or ...
