Madam Temporary Speaker, we watched the Cabinet Secretary with a lot of shock when he issued that Statement. I want to thank Sen. Sakaja for coming up with this Statement, strongly to defend his constituents. As Sen. Sakaja is saying, it is over 20, 000 Kenyans who are threatened. Madam Temporary Speaker, we all know that Sun Valley, Forest View, KMA, Langata View, Langata Palace, Royal Park and Shalom estates, are mostly inhabited by retirees who put their investment of all the time they worked in the Public Service to buying land and building houses in those estates.

As an advocate, I have been involved in doing mainly conveyancing that is related to people purchasing either houses or land, to develop in those estates. I even know colleagues whom we used to teach together at the university, who live in Sunvalley Estate. I can name them since they are close friends. These are people who come from different areas of this country. They took all the resources they had, they went to buy land and developed, but I do not understand how a Cabinet Secretary can just wake up one morning and say that they are going to ...

In fact, a title deed is processed through a Government process. It is the guarantee of Government processes that makes a title deed a very important document.

Thank you, very much Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, if we were to give a chance to many colleagues here, they know family members, or even they themselves live in those areas. I am not talking about us. Maybe, we still have a chance to go and buy land in Kajiado, or somewhere else and live there. I am talking about citizens of 60 or 70 years who have invested everything they got in Public Service. Remember, some of the public servants who are living there used to earn Kshs30, 000 or Kshs40, 000 when they were serving in the Public Service. ...

who has qualified to be appointed as the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP); that he can just--- I know Hon. Tobiko was a top student of land law at the University of Nairobi. That is how he got to---. He was one of the brightest students of the Mr. Okoth Ogendo. I really feel sad that for political reasons, a CS can now leave every reputation he has had in the legal profession to go threaten innocent citizens in Langata. I really hope that this committee---. Sen. Sakaja, I know your diligence in following up these issues, especially in the ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, again, approving a member who will preside over the management of the welfare of Members of this House is a very important Motion, but I do not mind when Motions are postponed because it has been done before. In fact, Sen. Orengo has ever requested for postponement of Motions that were time bound. However, when he did, it was with reasons. Sen. Faki just stood and said that after consulting some Members of the Committee, he wants the Motion to be postponed. There is nothing that guarantees this House that he will not stand tomorrow and say: ...

demonstrate that he can move the Motion. As he knows, his colleagues are here. We have Sen. Kihika, Sen. Kang’ata, Sen. Orengo and Sen. Wetangula. They are eager to debate. They are members of his Committee. Whom of them would he consult if it was not Sen. Orengo?

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is exactly why I was pushing for reasons. From the reasons given by Sen. Faki, it is now clear that more than five Members of that Committee are not comfortable with this Motion. It is a clear indication that properly speaking, it has flopped in the Committee. How it found itself here is a miracle. One way in which a Motion collapses is by failing to have a seconder. Sen. Faki should just move. If he does not have a seconder, then we will make that decision from there. I beg the Senator of ...
