• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a different opinion. There must be a rider to the effect that there is concurrence of the rest of the membership. I say so because with one of the co-owners holding the original title in this era of forgeries, they might be tempted to go ahead and forge signatures of the other members and transfer the property. There must be concurrence of the other co-owners. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, I do. I am persuading the Chair to proceed and add that amendment. That is because I worked in that department and I saw that. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, “joint tenancy” means you own the property together. There is no defined share. If it is 100 acres, all the parties own the 100 acres together. It is inseparable kind of share. Common tenancy varies. One party could own 25 per cent while the other could own 75 per cent. “Joint tenancy” means owning equal shares. Soon, you will be inviting me for a lecture on that one. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, whereas, I do not want to be seen to be opposing this issue of two-thirds majority I have food for thought to the Chairman of the Committee on Lands, and this is something I thought after I left here last night. The question is; who is this animal called community? Is it a household or the members of a household? I think there is need to define who is a member of a community.

• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the Committee Chair. Land matters are emotive. If you let them continue for a long time, they, sometimes, turn out to be fatal. The earlier some of these issues affecting land matters are disposed of, the better.

• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to oppose that amendment by Hon. Mwadime. If you look at the earlier definition of “community,” it included other communities living within a particular area. The moment we define a community and bring in the word “traditional”, we are trying to exclude any other person other than a person born and bred within a certain class or a certain tribe, which will be very dangerous. Let us take the earlier definition of the word “community” so that if Hon. Serut lived in Coast Province, brought up his children there, even if he ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I want to support the amendment, subject to the Chair of the Committee making the pronouncement that anything which is done before the promulgation of the Constitution 2010 is legal. We do not want a situation where anything which was done under the Trust Land Act is nullified by the new law. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I have been trying to consult with the Chair because community land is what was previously referred to as trust land. It used to fall under the Trust Land Act. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have no problem with the amendment by the Chairman. However, we want some clarity on any actions or omissions which were done before the Constitution of Kenya 2010, when Hon. Junet was the Chairman of Migori County Council. What happens to those title deeds? view
