(b) That an investor by the name of Calvin Cottar or the family of Cottar, leased the land from 1920s to date, but the community is yet to receive any returns compensation from the leasehold. (c) That the Olderkesi group land has been subdivided and adjudication done, awaiting the issuance of ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to make comments on two Statements. The first Statement is on the insecurity in Samburu County. I listened keenly when I was walking in, and I have also had an opportunity to read the Statement by the distinguished Senator from Samburu County. It shows some form of laxity with our police forces or service. There is absolutely no reason why a chronological event, which is known by the security officers, cannot be acted upon. The distinguished Senator has said that on the 9th of January, 13th of January, 10th of February, 27th of ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: citizens in Kisumu County and all our counties, have we reviewed those taxes on leasehold? We need to encourage and I hope the Committee will also encourage those counties to carry out public participation. People are bleeding, yes, but we have got to find a balance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, 30 seconds, please. view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you. In Nairobi City County, it is imperative that we review the leases, the taxes and the land rates, so that we can be fair and balanced. We are talking about Nairobi City County not being able to pay streetlights and yet, this is a security issue. You collect taxes to pay for bills. That is number one. In Kisumu County, the matter is about public participation. We just have to be fair and that is the most important thing. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that the Committee, which will be looking at this issue of this taxation can ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am tempted to ask different questions because I see the line being taken is different. I wanted to understand about the land in Tana River, but I can be guided by you. view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reason I did that is because Sen. Veronica Maina sits with me in the Senate Business Committee (SBC) and we had agreed that we remain focused on the questions that we should ask, so that we do not ambush the Cabinet Secretary. My question to the Cabinet Secretary is very clear. The question that was asked was about measures that the Government has put in place to ensure that the tea grading system is done properly, so that the quality of different teas is sold at the auction. My question is directly related to that. ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to make some comments and provide some useful information to two Statements. One is a Statement read by Sen. Essie Okenyuri. The clashes on the border of Narok and Kisii is historical. The problem started. This has got nothing to do with cattle rustling. It has everything to do with land. Way back, there was a gentleman by the name of Oringo from the Kisi community who fundraised a lot of money to buy Maasai land, about 10 kilometres from Kisii border, all the way to Kilgoris Town. This gentleman disappeared with the money. Therefore, ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: When the Committee is investigating, let us not go to petty things like stealing a cow. Let us look at the problem. What is causing the Kisii community or the Luo community in Awendo to move to Narok County to claim land which they were conned by this gentleman called Oringo? In fact, the problem is this, and I want to tell my sister, Esther, there is a community called the Pusunya. The Pusunya community are cousins of the Kuria and Kisii communities. This Pusunya community are the ones who are trying to say we need this land. They are ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: ensure that the time that God will give us to live on earth, we can live peacefully. Additionally, we can also be able to have the services which other countries have for free. If you go to Dubai, I do not think there is a time that the local authority or the power company in Dubai will decide to shut off power, or the local authority will decide to go and dump garbage outside the offices of another department. These are things that require us to be disciplined and mature enough to sit down and have a conversation. I look ... view
• 5 Mar 2025 in Senate: Asante Bw. Spika. Waziri wa Fedha, Waziri wa Leba na yule wa ugatuzi walizungumza na wakakubaliana ya kwamba watapeana Cabinet Memo ili Kshs2,686,000,000 iwekwe katika budget ya mwaka wa 2023/2024 ili iweze kulipa view
