• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Anybody can go to court and say there was no public participation and maybe one or two people attended. It becomes a contest. I do not know what the Chair has to say about this issue of public participation. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support that amendment. Previously, we had the compulsory acquisition. As Kenyans, we are moving away from compulsory acquisition to a situation where there must be negotiations between the owners of the land and the Government on the price at which the owner has to be compensated.

• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the position taken by the Committee because the word “water user” brings a lot of ambiguities. It will be nobody’s job to do it. We have to define who has to do that work. Thank you. view
