There is one Bill which has not yet been published and that is the eviction Bill. These are more than 10 Bills. We only ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Motion No.13 on the Community Land Bill. I want to say that this is a very important Bill. It is one of the Bills that are meant to implement the Constitution. I am happy that this Bill has put clarity on the two types of community land. It is good to note that there is registered community land and unregistered community land. This is in accordance with Articles 63 and 64 of the Constitution; that registered community land falls under the national Government, that is the Ministry of Land, Housing and ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: common ancestry, similar culture, socio-economic or other common interests, geographical or ecological space. That now brings the idea of what a “community” is. From there, they have decided what “communal use of land” is. In some cases, people do not know what it is? “Communal land use” is defined in the Bill, in Clause 2 and 13. It is the use of land, first of all, as declared under Article 63(2) of the Constitution. It is also important to note that it is land that is meant for holding or using in undivided shares. If you look at Clause 13, ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 20(1) and (2)(a) states that the community can submit a plan to the county government for registered community land for purposes of conservation, environmental or heritage issues that are relevant to the development, management or better use of the land. Clause 21 talks about ways in which the community can benefit or make good use of their land. It talks of administration and management of the resources on community land. That means that communities shall establish measures to protect critical eco-systems and habitats. They shall also establish incentives for communities and individuals to generate income from natural resources and ... view

• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: place in accordance with Section 25 of the new Act. Most importantly, I want Members to know that even the transaction of business at the constituency level is not possible now. The staff who are supposed to be paid salaries by tomorrow will not be paid. I think we did not take a lot of interest when we were passing this Act. Section 12(2) says that at least three signatories shall be required for every cheque or instrument for actual payment or withdrawal of funds from a constituency account. It further provides that the signing instructions shall be such that ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the catch is about the regulations. Section 50 of the Act is on the establishment of the National Assembly Select Committee. This is the Committee which I am proposing at the moment. One of their functions in Section 5(d) is to consider and report to the National Assembly, with recommendations, names of persons required to be approved by the National Assembly under this Act. Some of those to be approved are those of our constituency development committees, in accordance with Section 57. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Section 57(3)(a) says that without prejudice to the generality of the sub section, the Board may make regulations prescribing the manner of selection of and qualification of members of the constituency development committees. Those regulations and names must be approved by this House before they are gazetted by the Board. Therefore, the House Business Committee during its sitting on Tuesday this week, in its own wisdom, decided that it is good that we do not go for this weekend without approving the names of the membership of this National Assembly Committee. We will then give them a deadline of Tuesday ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: In conclusion, I just want Members to be aware of two sections of the Act. One of the other responsibilities of the Committee that I am proposing is to oversee the implementation of this Act and in this respect, propose amendments to this Act. I have about two amendments. It is good for Members to hear what Section 24 says. It is on the nature of projects to be funded under the new National Government CDF. Section 24 (a) says that a project under this Act shall only be in respect of works and services falling within the functions of ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: This means we are not going to use CDF to fund projects that are under devolved government. Section 25 (a) says that any funding under this Act shall be for a complete project or a defined phase of a project. This is the important thing I want us to know. Some of the projects are done in phases. I am sure there are projects that we proposed in the ongoing financial year which are under the devolved functions like construction of health facilities and undertaking of water projects. We proposed to do these projects in phases. That means we were ... view
