• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, there is need to polish this statement. That amendment says that “the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury may on the recommendation by the Cabinet Secretary---” The Committee should qualify that the second Cabinet Secretary is the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Natural Resources. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment. We are telling the Cabinet Secretary that nothing will happen without regulations. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Chairlady of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources should express herself on this. Why did she decide to increase the fine? view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if that is the reason then I support the proposed amendment by the Chairlady. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. To me, the amendment brought by Hon. Chepkong’a seems to be in order because the Government gazettes forests and, therefore, the same Government is supposed to degazette them. If the degazettement was done by the Government, then I think that amendment is appropriate. I support it. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for having recognised me as having worked in the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development. I want to start with an area which I have a lot of interest in, which is the Land Registration Division. I went through the Land Act, 2012, and surprising, if you look at it very closely, you will be shocked and anybody who deals with land like a Land Registrar, land owners and developers, will tell you that the Act did not recognise title deeds issued under Cap. 280. This is the Government Lands Act. It can ... view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: can enjoy their rights. My friend, Dr. Wamalwa, should not dispose of land without consulting his wife. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for recognising me. As you know, I come from the western region. We border Uganda. Hon. Wamunyinyi and I are brothers who border Uganda. There was a survey in the 10th Parliament that was done by both parties to determine the boundary between Kenya and Uganda for Migingo Island. It beats logic that up to now, we have not been told who owns this rock or waters in Migingo Island. view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The onus lies with the Kenyan Government to tell its people why it has taken too long to make a pronouncement as to who owns Migingo Island. That is the bone of contention. As Kenyans, we have heard all manner of voices about Migingo Island. We have heard from the Members what happened during the voter registration exercise. The Kenyan Government is not on leave, it is running. It is high time it woke up from its slumber and protected its people. A Government that does not protect its people has no business being in power. My people were slaughtered ... view
• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It is high time the county commissioners ensured there is security in this country. They are not provided for in the Constitution. They were sneaked in through the back door on grounds that they ensure that there is security. They have to take security seriously. They should not be there to earn salaries. I do not see why Members of Parliament should be debating this issue. We have no choice other than to ask the county commissioners, on behalf of Harambee House, to protect our people. They are in charge of security in the counties. Otherwise, we should send them ... view
