• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Some people who are affected have been doing business with their land and so if you prove that your land was giving you some direct income, then there should be a compensation for the loss of business from that land. These are some of the issues that have to be captured well. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when you go and settle somewhere, you expect your people to be buried there when they die. It should come out clearly because it is affecting people who are being compensated. You buried your father, mother and very important people and when it comes to compensation, it has to be considered as a factor that affects that particular person. We should also remove conditions such as having to get license from the county government to re-bury. I have an issue where some people say they do not have any land they can bury their departed family members. They ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Lastly, I am happy about this Bill because it has come up with the Land Acquisition Tribunal. At least those people who will be agitated will have somewhere to go to. These people who are coming back to revalue the land will again pay at the stated rate and if you do not agree you go to court. You know when you are taken to court, proceedings are cumbersome. There is the idea that there were early entries and the Standard Gauge Railway project is ongoing. My people feel they are not properly treated and this should stop. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this with the few amendments that I will be bringing in before it becomes law in this country. Thank you very much, I support. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also want to tell the Chair that the Government is doing very well on e-platforms like e-citizen and getting this certificate is free. It is easier to give out those certificates and identify the person as a Kenyan who pays tax. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this chance. While I support this social safety net, I want to tell the Committee to be a bit careful because we are allocating money to move the country towards social welfare. If you check what we give and what we allocate to agriculture and trade, I think we have wrong priorities. We can still solve the same problem by making our industries and agriculture instead of giving money directly to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: people. So, that Kshs31 billion is too much compared to what has been allocated to agriculture, industry and fisheries combined. I think we should be a bit careful. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to contribute to the budget-making process. If you look at this document wholesomely, it does not support the reality on the ground. Our country is agricultural-based. Therefore, if we do not allocate resources towards this it means we are allocating resources to other areas. If you check the amount allocated to the State Department of Agricultural Research of about Kshs.5 billion and the State Departments of Irrigation, Fisheries and Livestock which are agricultural in nature and compare them with other State Departments you will find we are not supporting the correct thing. ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a lot of background noise. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted that protection so that I can concentrate. In 1978 we were at par with Singapore and Malaysia and then afterwards we lost course. I want to ask the Members to recall that during the same year the founding father of this nation died. So, maybe he died with that vision because he supported the agriculture sector and that is why our pyrethrum, tea, coffee and the whole agriculture sector including sisal were doing very well. Children who completed school were easily absorbed into this sector. Today, the opposite is happening because we ... view
