• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Article 60 (1)(b) talks about security of land rights. When you take that and you go all the way to Article 67 on the issue of the National Land Commission--- Article 67(e) says that the National Land Commission will address land historical injustices and Parliament will make legislation on this. That is why we are here. I would appreciate that when the Land Commission becomes operational, it should address the very important issue of land by finding something in the Ministry of Lands which will give them direction; there are issues of land policy. The ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding the issue of the sale of land, if we cannot create laws to curb the sale of land, there are communities which will be marginalized. We are already threatened with dirty money. People want to clean dirty money in Kajiado County by coming to buy land at exorbitant prices. Sooner than later, the Maa Community of Kajiado County will be totally marginalized. I want the Minister for Lands to bring a legislation that indicates that before you sell land, we must sit down as a county. In ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not against any Kenyan owning land anywhere in the Republic. First and foremost, I am a patriot and fight for the rights of Kenyans. I am not talking about citizens buying land by right. I am talking about the Government dishing out land without considering the previous owners. We should have been given the opportunity. view

• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me be a bit casual because I think the hon. Member wants to engage me. He thinks that he can destruct my line of thought and contribution. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, every Kenyan has a right to live anywhere in the Republic of Kenya, and I will stand by that. I wish Kenyans could elect me as the President of this Republic. We will streamline certain areas. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that at Independence, the land which was taken away from certain communities by the Mzungu was never given back to the rightful owners. I gave an example of Laikipia and a certain part of Rift Valley. I do not know why the hon. Member cannot wait until I finish. Mr. Temporary ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other point which is very important is that I have not seen in the Constitution where it says that certain rates will be levied on land. I hope the National Land Commission will come up with that. I would propose that apart from the normal transactions, the other places we can levy rates on should be municipalities, towns and cities because of the innocent small farmer in Todonyang, which is a dry rock where we can get oil. I do not think you can levy rates on a farmer or somebody who lives at ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to emphasize on the leadership of the National Land Commission. Those people who have land must be remembered in leadership because those are the people who have the passion for land and are able to take into consideration the right decisions and the right policies. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I do thank the Minister for this very well prepared Bill, but there are certain areas which need some cleaning. I would like to make that proposal to him. view
