• 20 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I never have frivolous points of order. I never do. A lot of time is being spent on the cost of auctioneer in this matter, as if that is the most relevant point. Is it in order for the Minister, Mr. Githae to stand before the House and mislead the House about fees of auctioneers when he knows or ought to know that the auctioneers’ fees are charged within the Auctioneers Act and are set out? view

• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This matter appeared on the Order Paper last week and I raised a point of order on the issue of sub judice and the Chair then, Mr. Farah, said that he was going to deliver a ruling on it. That is what we are expecting today. view

• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of flight paths and building around flight paths is causing a bit of concern to Kenyans. As a Member of Kisumu Town West, the Kisumu Airport has now been completed. There is concern arising from Syokimau from residents of Bandani Kanyamega and Usoma that is there a possibility or the Minister can clarify to the House that what happened at Syokimau about the flight paths cannot happen in these areas in Kisumu. view
• 14 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I sought clarification on the issue of Kanyameda, Usoma and Bandani lands around Kisumu Airport. The Minister started to talk about it but did not conclude. But is it in order for him to start talking about it and then not conclude? view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Lands the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Circular Letter No. CLR/R/2/52 dated 31st October, 2011 by the Commissioner of Lands suspending the functions of all Land Dispute Tribunals and Land Appeals Committees in the country is premature on the grounds that the Land Court has not been operationalised and the Chief Justice or Chief Registrar has not issued any directions? (b) Could the Minister rescind the directive and await operationalisation of the Land Court and issuance of directions by the Chief Justice to enable ... view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is concern about the disbandment of the Land Disputes Tribunals and the Land Appeal Committees. This Question is based on a memorandum by members of the Kisumu East District tribunal signed by Mr. Martin Ndong’a Chan and Mr. Atian Siala, which I would like to table and in which they say that the tribunal elders are in confusion because the Government has not given them enough time to clear their offices, which they have held since 2003. There are quite a number of cases pending which are either not finalized or have been heard partly. view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am afraid that the interpretation of the law by the hon. Minister is clearly wrong. This is because the communication by the Commissioner of Lands correctly says that all cases pending before the tribunals and appeals will, therefore, be dealt with on the orders of the Chief Justice. Clearly, the Environment and Land Court Act, which the hon. Minister has relied on states, in Section 30, Transitional Provisions:- “All proceedings relating to the environment or the use and occupation of title to land pending before any court or local tribunal of competent jurisdiction shall continue to ... view
• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I agree that there were cases of mischief in many of the tribunals and that could be a reason for the Act, is it in order for the Minister to avoid answering the specific question which I asked? I read Section 30 of the Act which says that all cases shall proceed to be heard until the Chief Justice issues directions but those directions have not been given. Is he in order to do that? view
