• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Wanga for bringing this Motion. This is a timely Motion. Cancer has taken the lives of many of our constituents. The only way to finish that problem is to train enough qualified personnel and to look into the environmental causes of the disease. If you look at the anxiety and the problems that communities go through, both social and economic, that disease has caused a lot to this country. We need to ensure that we legislate and have a law so that we can curb the problem caused by ... view

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Deputy Leader of the Minority Party is my neighbour and he does not know the Member of Parliament for Tinderet. I rise to support Hon. Pukose’s amendment. If you look at the history of Kitalale, you will find that it was formally a white settler farm. The people who bought that land paid 10 per cent. The Government erroneously degazetted it and made it a forest yet the European settler who was living there made it a forest. The people who live there have a right to own it and be given title deeds. As I speak, they have ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the Bill. Forests are found in counties and it has given counties a role in conservation and preservation of forests. I support. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. This Bill is very important constitutionally as it operationalises Article 63 of our Constitution. It is a Bill that actually tries--- view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Bill operationalises Article 63 of the Constitution. It is trying to solve a number of issues that are affecting this country. Land issues in this country are very emotive. Looking at some of the problems that this country has faced since Independence, the central part of it has been land. Part II, Clauses 4 to 14, elucidate community land rights. It shows how community land is supposed to be owned, the ownership, the tenure system and when and how a community shall possess and dispossess land. It outlines how community land can be ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: ownership. This Bill, if enacted, is going to entrench the rights of those communities. A number of communities have lost their land just because they lost their rights to individual land ownership rights. Clauses 15 and 16 provide for the administration and management of community land. In fact, in some instances, if those clauses are not provided for, some communities have been dispossessed of their land by individuals within the community, who are more knowledgeable and have an understanding of how to use their land. I want to commend the inclusion of Clauses 22 to 27, especially on the conversion ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: whole of it leaving out a large group of individuals without land. In this case, the community as a society that owns the land can have their title deed registered and directed on how to own it. This Bill is going to stabilise our nation. It will give our people the rights they deserve. I support the Bill. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the amendments especially the inclusion of the county executive in charge of education. The reason we saw it fit to include the county executive in charge of education was because education issues should be seamlessly joined together. The county governments and the national Government are serving the same citizens of this country. The fact that Hon. Wamalwa was indicating that we exclude the county governments will not augur well with the running of education in the counties. The County Education Secretary is in charge of Early Childhood Development (ECD) and ... view
