• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mara Serena Safari Lodge in Narok and built a house worth Kshs20 million. However, he is now being told that he will be compensated within 12 months. Where is he expected to live? He has raised his children to live and expect certain things which he should rightfully provide for them. However, all of a sudden, their lives have changed. Madam Temporary Speaker, therefore, we need to think about the future generations. Any law that we draft and amend, we must do so knowing that we are bequeathing everything to the future generation. It should not only take care of ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: One thing I like about the Bill is that it will make it difficult for those who work in different Government Departments to leak out information to people who may just want to make a quick buck, or speculators if you like, from acquiring land and selling it to make more money. In my view, the Mover should consider increasing the penalty because Kshs500,000 or three months imprisonment or both is very lenient. If someone informs me that a new city will be built by the Government then I rush to buy land there and the next day the Government ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: what is Kshs500,000? The penalty ought to be increased so that it makes it difficult for people to take advantage of communities like the Maasai. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: There are many people who bought land along the road to Suswa from Kimuka. There are those who bought land in Duka Moja going all the way along the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). Today, in Suswa Town where most lands do not have title deeds, where one acre used to be at about Kshs70,000, with Kshs5 million, you cannot get a plot because of the SGR. Since some people leaked out the information, many people came from the neighbouring counties and bought a lot of land. Now, they are the ones to be compensated because of the construction of the ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: One of the key issues that ought to be changed is the powers that the Tribunal will have. I believe in the separation of powers of the Judiciary, Parliament and the Executive. When you take powers that have been given by the Constitution to the courts and give them to a tribunal--- view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: There is a further amendment to Clause 18 in the proposed new Section 133A which provides as follows: “Clause 18 of the Bill be amended (a) in the proposed new section 133A (i) by deleting sub-section (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub-section— (1) There is established a Tribunal to be known as the Land Acquisition Tribunal which shall consist of five persons appointed by the Cabinet Secretary through a notice in the Gazette.

• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: You are bringing in people who do not have a lot of legal background to protect innocent Kenyans. Take, for example, a case of a young Maasai woman whose husband died and has not even gone through the succession process to be able to have the instruments of ownership of the peace of land, and you take away the powers of a court to hear the matter in regard to any dispute relating to that land and give to a Tribunal. In that Tribunal, you have put in valuers and people who are interested in commercial activities rather than the ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: relating to public, private and community land, and contracts. If you take this power away--- view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thought I still had more time? view
