• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Report as a member of this Committee. As has been said, the Committee on Implementation is tasked to ensure that this House does not legislate or debate in vain and, for that reason, ensure that the Executive honours its pledges and implements all the resolutions that are made, including all the enactments that are made on the Floor of this House. I used to hear people say that Kenya should become taifa tekelezi - a country that implements. We should not just come up with very nice papers ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: County Commander – told us that he was not aware that this House had passed an amendment to the Police Act in 2014. Neither had there been communication from their headquarters to the effect that the Kenya Police Reserve (KPR) should be institutionalized, KPR officers be identified and be in uniform, that they should be properly remunerated and that they are not volunteers. We were surprised that with all these provisions, we still have insecurity in those parts of the country. We found out that some Cabinet Secretaries disregard what happens here. I understand that each Ministry is supposed to ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion and indicate that this matter has serious consequences. It is an indication of how we view one of our most priced resources; land, and the records that we keep and those are used to adjudicate any dispute arising between parties. The Committee was seized of the matter and as the Chairman has said, we went to the extent of inviting the Cabinet Secretary, the NLC and even the Director of CID over the matter. Subsequently, we had a sub-committee that looked critically at the documents that were presented by the ... view

Then the same entry is cancelled and we have an entry Number 18 supposedly done on 23rd September 1963. This is presentation number 689 which is declaration by the Crown dated that day declaring annual end to the same parcel of land. The question the sub-committee asked is: In 1963, how did somebody know that they were going to have an entry in 1978 which is about 15 years before? We found that this is a ... view
